Blender 2.9 is a free and open source 3D creation suite. It supports the entirety of the 3D pipeline—modeling, rigging, animation, simulation, rendering, compositing and motion tracking, video editing and 2D animation pipeline.
Blender 2.9 introduces a new Grease Pencil tool, which allows you to draw directly on the 3D viewport. Grease Pencil is ideal for creating 2D animations, storyboards, concept art, and more.
Blender 2.9 also introduces a new physics engine, called Bullet. Bullet is a powerful physics engine that enables you to create realistic simulations.
Finally, Blender 2.9 includes a new rendering engine, called Eevee. Eevee is a real-time rendering engine that produces high-quality results.
