Modeling
- A range of 3D object types including polygon meshes, NURBS surfaces, bezier and B-spline curves, metaballs, vector fonts (TrueType, PostScript, OpenType)
- Very fast Catmull-Clark subdivision surfaces with optimal iso-lines display and sharpness editing
- Mirror modifier with middle vertices clipping and automatic deletion of inner faces
- Non destructive real time Boolean and Array modifiers
- Mesh modeling based on vertex, edge and/or face selection
Smooth soft selection editing tools for organic modeling
Shade
- Node editor for creating and mixing complex materials
- Material previews rendered by main render engine
- Fast, realistic subsurface scattering
- Versatile procedural textures system
- Reflection maps
- Normal, displacement and bump maps
Animate
- Armature (skeleton) deformation with forward/inverse kinematics
- Auto IK allows posing FK chains easily
- Non-linear animation editor for mixing individual actions created in Action editor
- Animated constraint system
- Character animation pose editor
- Animated deformers (Lattice, Curve)
Render
- Very fast inbuilt raytracer
- Oversampling, motion blur, post-production effects, fields, non-square pixels
- Render layers and passes
- Render baking to UV maps (full render, ambient occlusion, normals, textures)
- Render engine tightly integrated with the node compositor
Interactive 3d
