Blender is an integrated suite of tools enabling the creation of a broad range of 3D content. It offers full functionality for modeling, rendering, animation, post-production, creation and playback of interactive 3D content with the singular benefits of cross-platform operability and a download file size of less than 2.5MB.

Aimed at media professionals and artists, Blender can be used to create 3D visualizations, stills as well as broadcast quality video, while the incorporation of a real-time 3D engine allows for the creation of 3D interactive content for stand-alone playback.

Originally developed by the company 'Not a Number' (NaN), Blender now is continued as 'Free Software', with the sources available under GNU GPL.

Adobe Bridge CS4 is the control center for Adobe Creative Suite 4. Adobe Bridge enables file organization and sharing, and provides centralized access to your project files, applications, and settings. Adobe Bridge also supports Adobe XMP (Extensible Metadata Platform), which lets you store metadata with files and then find assets by searching on that criteria. You can also use Adobe Bridge to work with assets managed in Adobe Version Cue® and open images in Adobe Photoshop Camera Raw. Adobe Bridge helps you simplify creative workflows by serving as a hub for projects involving both Adobe and non‑Adobe files.

Improved performance
Adobe Bridge CS4 (version 3.0) starts more quickly and displays thumbnails more quickly than Adobe Bridge CS3 (version 2.0). In addition, Adobe Bridge CS4 uses less memory and is faster with respect to such tasks as scrolling and filtering images. The new capability to cache full-size previews means you can zoom and loupe more quickly.

Refined work environment
A toolbar at the top of the workspace now offers numerous buttons to speed routine tasks. Switch between workspaces; navigate folders, views, and recent files; and search for files faster.

One-key, full-screen previews
Quickly display any selected image in a full-screen preview by choosing the option from the View menu or by pressing the spacebar.

Collections
Organize your media files into groups regardless of where they live on your hard drive by simply dragging or copying them into collections. Or save smart collections, which are collections based on saved searches. Manage all of your collections in the new Collections panel.

Quick search
Use Windows Desktop Search (Windows) or Spotlight (Mac OS) to search for files from the Adobe Bridge CS4 toolbar. Operating system engines search within a selected folder and all subfolders on filename, folder name, and image keyword criteria.

Review mode
Evaluate your images in Review mode, which offers a full-screen preview of selected files. In Review mode, you can rotate and rate images, remove images from the selection, and save selected files as a collection.

Built-in creation of web galleries and PDF contact sheets
Create an Adobe PDF contact sheet or create a web photo gallery directly in Adobe Bridge CS4 using the Adobe Output Module script.

List view
Display files in the Content panel in List view, which lets you sort columns of metadata criteria, such as creation date, file size, and rating.

Thumbnail grid lock
Toggle on Grid Lock in the View menu or toolbar to show only complete thumbnails in the Content panel. Grid Lock keeps thumbnail configurations consistent if panels or the Adobe Bridge window are resized.

Optional auto-launch at login
Configure Adobe Bridge CS4 to launch automatically when you log in and run in the background until you select it. Being able to run Adobe Bridge in the background makes it available at your fingertips but consumes fewer system resources when you’re not using it.

3D file format previews
Preview 3D file formats, including 3DS, DAE, KMZ, OBJ, and U3D.
Auto collection of HDR and panorama images The Auto Collection CS4 script automatically stacks high dynamic range (HDR) and panoramic images and lets you automatically process them into finished composites.

Additional filters
With Adobe Bridge CS4, you can filter your images by additional metadata criteria, including white balance, exposure time, aperture value, camera model, and raw file type. And when you’re viewing files that are located in different directories, you can sort and filter them by folder.

Enhanced XMP support
Adobe Bridge CS4 supports XMP metadata for dynamic media file formats, such as FLV, M4V, and SWF.
