BLEND is Blender's native file format, one of the most popular open-source 3D modeling tools. It supports complex 3D objects, textures, lighting, rigging, animations, and more.
All file typesBLEND files provide the ability to create sophisticated 3D models and animations. They're fully compatible with Blender, meaning users have access to a wide range of tools and features.
While BLEND files are very powerful, they are also complex and can be difficult for beginners to master. They're also Blender specific, which means they're not always compatible with other 3D modeling software.
