Unity joins the Blender Development Fund project
Unity joined the Development Fund project of the Blender Foundation as a patron member. The announcement stated that Unity recognizes and supports Blender as an important industry tool for creative and technical channels. In fact, Unity has provided users with support for Blender files ten years ago. Ton Roosendaal, the founder, and chairman of the Blender Foundation said that Unity’s donation will continue to invest in Blender core development, with special attention to high-quality interoperability with free and open formats.
“At Unity, we believe the world is a better place with more creators in it. This has always been at the core of our business. As such, our values align with those of the Blender Foundation and it seems a natural fit to continue our support of an open ecosystem that enables millions of users to create 3D content with a free tool,” said Dave Rhodes, Senior Vice President & General Manager, Unity Create Solutions, Unity Technologies.
The Development Fund project is Blender’s donation plan to support everyone in maintaining and improving Blender.
Blender is a free and open-source software for 3D graphics design. It is free to use and has almost the same functions as commercial software. It is mainly developed in C, C++, and Python languages and can run on different platforms.
