FAQ

How to download Blender officially?

Download only from blender.org/download — pick the installer for your OS (~350 MB). The Microsoft Store version is also official but updates slower.

Is Blender really free?

Yes — 100% free and open source under GPL, including commercial use. No subscriptions or in-app purchases.

What are Blender system requirements?

Minimum 8 GB RAM and 2 GB VRAM. For smooth work use 16 GB RAM, a discrete GPU (RTX series) and an SSD.

Blender vs C4D vs Maya?

Blender is free with a full pipeline, great for individuals and small teams; C4D leads in motion graphics, Maya in film animation.

How long to learn Blender?

Follow the official Donut Tutorial — most people finish a first complete scene in 1-2 weeks and work independently after 1-3 months.

Blender is laggy — how to fix?

Switch Cycles to GPU (CUDA/OptiX), disable high-subdivision modifiers in viewport, and use Solid viewport shading.
