Blender is a free and open-source 3D computer graphics software tool set that runs on Windows, macOS, BSD, Haiku, IRIX and Linux. It is used for creating animated films, visual effects, art, 3D-printed models, motion graphics, interactive 3D applications, virtual reality, and, formerly, video games.
Once common, isometric projection became less so with the advent of more powerful 3D graphics systems, and as video games began to focus more on action and individual characters. [1] However, video games using isometric projection—especially computer role-playing games —have seen a resurgence in recent years within the indie gaming scene.

Synfig Studio (also known as Synfig) is a free and open-source vector-based 2D animation software. [3] It is created by Robert Quattlebaum [4] with additional contributions by Adrian Bentley. Synfig began as the custom animation platform for Voria Studios (now defunct), [5] and in 2005 was released as free/open source software, under GNU GPL-2. ...
In this method, the user creates a 2D shape which traces the outline of an object from a photograph or a drawing. [3] The user then uses a second image of the subject from a different angle and extrudes the 2D shape into 3D, again following the shape’s outline. This method is especially common for creating faces and heads.
It's is the one responsible for the transformation of the prepared 3D scene into a 2D image or animation. 3D render engines can be based on different methods, such as ray-tracing, rasterization, path-tracing, also depending on the speed and the outcome expected, it comes in different types – real-time and non real-time, which was described above
Path tracing is also popular for generating high-quality non-photorealistic images, such as frames for 3D animated films. Both rasterization and ray tracing can be sped up ("accelerated") by specially designed microprocessors called GPUs. Rasterization algorithms are also used to render images containing only 2D shapes such as polygons and text.
Anim8or is a proprietary freeware 3D rendering and animation package. Animation:Master from HASH, Inc is a modeling and animation package that focuses on ease of use. It is a spline-based modeler. Its strength lies in character animation. Aqsis is a free and open-source rendering suite compliant with the RenderMan standard.
