Blen.doT
SOFTWARE CONCEPT
Pitch
Have you ever found yourself stuck waiting for an animation to render ? Have you got other low-end computers sitting in a corner of your office ? Have you ever had to choose between rendering and working ?
I did, for a long time. With my deadlines coming closer and closer, I had to so something about it !
Because the available softwares did not completely fulfill my specific needs, I started manually writing batch files, having to tediously change them one by one when another project was coming in. It could not be a longterm solution.
So, I decided to put my curiosity at work, to bet on the time such a software would save me and here we are a couple of months later where I am proud to share it with you all. It was intended for a personal use but hey, maybe you happen to have the same very specific needs for your own renders, you faced the same impossible decisions, you also have low-end computers sitting somewhere that you would like to use.
So, if you also are a fan of simplicity, something that works and allows you do get to your goals in just a few clicks, you might be at the right place. And what’s even better ? There is a Free version available for you to get an idea of the feel and use of the software, I would recommend you give it a try before purchasing this version.
