Blender Foundation

Blender Foundation

The Blender Foundation is a non-profit organization responsible for the development of Blender, an open-source program for three-dimensional modeling. It is most notable for producing "Elephants Dream", an animated short film that premiered in March 2006.

Chaired by Ton Roosendaal, the software's original author, Blender is funded by donations which are used to employ Roosendaal full-time as its lead developer. The foundation identifies as a wider goal, "to give the worldwide Internet community access to 3D technology in general, with Blender as a core."

As the owner of Blender's website, the foundation provides various resources to support the community formed around using and developing Blender. In particular, it organizes an annual Blender Conference in Amsterdam to discuss plans for the future of Blender, and mans a booth to represent Blender at SIGGRAPH, a larger conference concerning computer graphics in general.

The foundation finished its latest film, "Big Buck Bunny", [cite web|url=http://peach.blender.org/index.php/project-peach-is-pretty-proud-to-present/|title=Project Peach is Pretty Proud to Present…|publisher=Blender Foundation|accessdate=2008-02-04] in April 2008.cite news |first=Ryan |last=Paul |authorlink= |coauthors= |title=Blender Foundation's Peach project begins |url=http://arstechnica.com/journals/linux.ars/2007/10/03/blender-foundations-peach-project-begins |quote= |publisher=Ars Technica |date=October 3, 2007 |accessdate=2007-10-13 ] [cite web|url=http://www.blender.org/news/article/premiere-of-open-movie-big-buck-bunny/|title=Premiere of Open Movie Big Buck Bunny]
