FAQs
Common questions about Blender
Is Blender really free?
Yes, Blender is 100% free and open source — no hidden costs, no subscription, no limitations.
Can Blender replace After Effects?
Blender's compositing and motion graphics capabilities can handle many After Effects workflows, though the node-based approach has a different learning curve.
Blender Roadmap Is Live
Blender has a live public roadmap for work toward the upcoming 5.2 LTS release and beyond. Projects are grouped by status, including in development, on hold, in design, and not started.
Work in development includes Android support, native gaussian splat importing and rendering in EEVEE and Cycles, and a FLIP-based fluid system in geometry nodes. These are development plans, rather than a list of features ready to use.
