Software-update: Blender 5.2.1

Versie 5.2.1 van het crossplatform- en opensourceprogramma Blender is uitgekomen. Deze applicatie is bedoeld voor 3d-modelling, animatie, rendering, postproduction, interactive creation en playback. Voor meer informatie over de uitgebreide mogelijkheden van Blender verwijzen we naar deze pagina. Met dit programma zijn onder meer de korte opensource animatiefilms Elephants Dream, Big Buck Bunny, Sintel, Tears of Steel, Cosmos Laundromat en Sprite Fright gemaakt. Ook Flow, dat dit jaar onder meer een Oscar en Golden Globe voor beste animatiefilm in de wacht sleepte, is met Blender gemaakt. Uitgebreide informatie over de veranderingen in versie 5.2 zijn op deze pagina te vinden; in deze eerste update zijn de volgende verbeteringen doorgevoerd:
