Blender#
Application or Connector?#
Blender is an open-source, world-class 3D modeling application. You can download the Blender 4.2 Alpha built using the USD branch from the NVIDIA NGC Catalog.
Note
In addition to this Omniverse-compatible Blender install, which allows users to have solid import/export capabilities with Omniverse, an alpha version of the Nucleus Connector add-on is available, to streamline access to Omniverse assets and to enhance Omniverse interoperability.
Blender OpenUSD and Omniverse support#
Blender’s OpenUSD and Omniverse support will continue to be compatible with the Blender Foundation’s Long-Term Support (LTS) releases.
Starting with Blender 4.5, Omniverse add-ons and connectors will be updated for compatibility and can be installed as add-ons within the official Blender LTS releases from the Blender Foundation.
NVIDIA will stop producing custom Blender Alpha builds, with all USD fixes and features now integrated into the official Blender LTS releases.
Important
The Omniverse Blender Add-ons GitHub can be found at NVIDIA-Omniverse/blender_omniverse_addons.
Note
The Blender Foundation’s LTS releases are available at https://www.blender.org/download/.
