Open Apps · 3D and VFX
A complete open 3D creation suite for models, animation, materials, and scenes.
Planned · file-based workflow directions
These planned workflows show where Blender may contribute alongside other independent apps. Detailed steps will be published as formats, outputs, and handoffs are confirmed.
3D and video · Planned
Render a scene in Blender, then build the edit and final assembly in Kdenlive.
Workflow shapeScene and dependencies → rendered frames → edit and deliver
Blender contributesKeep the scene and linked dependencies together, then render a complete image sequence or supported video intermediate.
View in the workflow catalog ↗Product imagery · Planned
Turn a Blender render into a polished still and place it in a print or vector layout.
Workflow shape3D scene → rendered still → image cleanup → page layout
Blender contributesRender a still as PNG or OpenEXR while preserving the BLEND scene and its assets.
View in the workflow catalog ↗Game asset preparation · Planned
Convert procedural or high-detail Blender materials into image textures for a downstream real-time engine or asset library.
Workflow shapeUV unwrap → bake selected passes → validate texture maps
Blender contributesUnwrap the mesh, bake the selected texture passes, and validate the resulting maps before handoff.
View in the workflow catalog ↗Product visualization · Planned
Produce a repeatable rotating product view that can be re-rendered at different sizes without rebuilding the scene.
Workflow shapeReusable lighting and camera → frame sequence → encoded preview
Blender contributesReuse a controlled camera and lighting setup, then render a consistent frame sequence for preview or encoding.
