The BLEND format is the native 3D model file format used by the ever-popular 3D modeling application Blender. Blender has been around since the 1990s, and it has grown steadily over the years, adding new features with each passing version.

The current version of Blender has many powerful features, is very popular with many budding 3D designers, and is the go-to application for videogame, animation, and film artists.

Mesh Geometry

The BLEND file format is a mesh-based format, meaning the 3D models created within Blender are stored in the form of 3D meshes composed of vertices and faces. Along with 3D object geometry, Blender supports the creation of animations, and this too is included in the BLEND file.
