NaN’s Blender 2.0, aka gameBlender
Author: JT Smith
From LinuxLookup: ”

nonetheless it is fun to mess around and see if I can model the perfect
coffee mug, or create a pair of underwear with its own particle system.
But there is one issue that stands in my way. As a college student I am
not willing to pay $3,500 to just ‘mess’ around. Isn’t there a better way?”
