🧠💻 Blender Software: Full History From 0 to Hero

🔹 1. Early Days – Blender Was Born (1994–1998)

• Blender was originally created by Ton Roosendaal, a Dutch legend 🇳🇱

• He was part of a company called NeoGeo (nope, not the console 😅)

• NeoGeo needed an in-house tool for 3D animation... so Ton built Blender!

• Blender’s name? Inspired by a song by the band Yello called “The Blender” 🎵

🗓️ First public release: January 1995 (internal), official public: 1998

🔹 2. Blender Goes Online (1998–2002)

• Ton made Blender available as freeware, but with some limitations

• It started getting popular in small indie game/animation circles

• Blender was lightweight, fast, and had a unique UI (some people loved it, some hated it 😅)

---

🔥 3. Bankruptcy & Blender’s Rebirth (2002)

• NeoGeo’s successor company, Not a Number (NaN), went bankrupt 😵

• Blender’s development almost died forever...

BUT WAIT! 💥
Ton didn’t give up — he launched a crowdfunding campaign to “Free Blender”

🧠 Goal: Raise €100,000 to make Blender open-source
💪 The Blender community crushed it in just 7 weeks!

• On October 13, 2002, Blender officially became free & open-source (GPL)

---

🔹 4. Blender Foundation & Open Projects (2003–2010)

• Ton created the Blender Foundation to guide development

• They started releasing open movies made entirely in Blender like:

  • 🐰 Elephants Dream (2006)

  • 🐉 Big Buck Bunny (2008)

  • 🐼 Sintel (2010)

These projects:
✅ Proved Blender was pro-level
✅ Inspired developers to contribute
✅ Attracted artists from everywhere 🌍

🔹 5. Modern Blender Era (2011–2018)

• Blender’s tools kept leveling up:

  • Cycles Renderer introduced (realistic lighting 🔥)

  • Sculpting tools, Grease Pencil, Physics simulation, etc.

• Big artists and indie game devs started using it seriously 💻🎮

---

🌟 6. The Blender 2.8 Revolution (2019)

Bro, this was a game-changer 💥

• Massive UI overhaul (way easier to use)

• Introduced:

  • Eevee Renderer (real-time preview)

  • Workspaces

  • Collections, better UI, HDR lighting, more...

• Blender went from “cool free tool” → “yo this is better than Maya??” 😱

---

🦾 7. Blender Today (2020–2025)

• Used by studios like Ubisoft, Netflix, Unity, Epic Games

• Blender is now considered AAA-worthy

• Supports:

  • VR/AR

  • Motion tracking

  • Full rigging and animation pipeline

  • Geometry nodes (for procedural magic!)

• Huge community + crazy amount of tutorials = artist heaven 🌍💖

---

🔮 The Future of Blender?

• Blender 4.x series is 🔥 with:

  • Geometry Nodes boost

  • Better real-time tools

  • Cloud rendering support

• It might even fully replace paid 3D software for many creators
