Blender Foundation is delighted to announce that Bolt Graphics, the developer of an upcoming graphics processor to enable faster renderings and simulations for users in the creative, gaming, and research industries, is joining the Blender Development Fund as Corporate Patron sponsor.
This support will be dedicated towards general Blender core development, with the goal of continuously improving content creation tools for individuals and small teams.
Bolt Graphics’ vision of open source tools being a key component of the content creation landscape is strongly aligned with Blender. We are grateful for this support, which enables core development activities that will benefit the entire community.
Francesco Siddi, COO at Blender
It’s important to us that everyone has access to high quality content creation tools no matter their budget. Our team uses Blender everyday to benchmark our technology and create art. I grew up using Blender myself when I had no money to give back, so being able to support Blender at the Patron level now is a dream come true!
