Blender Goes Open Source

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the put-a-frog-in-a-blender dept.

Christoffer Green writes " This morning, the NaN shareholders have reached an agreement on the conditions for a new future for Blender. In general it means that the Blender Foundation can execute it plans, to continue developement as an open source project." Perhaps some ambitious soul will bolt a reasonable interface onto the 3D app.

    If we don't fight for ourselves no one will.

    Blender probably has a nipple incorporated already... you just need to right click the mouse on a metaball and hold alt-m (assumingly for mammaries) and hop on one foot while whistling a happy tune in the nude... piece of cake!

    But since Microsoft Certified Bread will be bloatware, it won't fit in your Palladium toaster.

    The refrigerator door won't open for any of those organic, "open source" vegetables (they might be viral).

    The microwave will transmit details on everything you reheat to Microsoft, to "ensure proper authorization".

    What most worries me is your oven's Blue Screen/Flame of Death.
