a render engine for the future

Blender is a powerful open source 3D graphics application that can be used for modeling, animation, rendering, post-production, interactive creation and more. Blender's interface uses OpenGL to provide a consistent experience across all platforms, including Windows, Linux and Mac OS X.

Cycles is Blender's powerful built-in render engine, capable of producing photo-realistic images. It uses the GPU to render production-quality images in real-time.

Cycles is the future of rendering, and it is available now in Blender.

If you're a Mac user, you're in luck: Blender for Mac now includes a full-featured Cycles renderer. This means that you can now enjoy all the benefits of Cycles on your Mac, including real-time rendering, motion blur, and more.

To get started with Cycles on your Mac, simply download Blender and follow the instructions in the Cycles for Mac tutorial.

Happy rendering!
