Blender is a open source 3D content creation suite available for all major operating systems under the GNU General Public License and available for free. [1] Many FlightGear developers use Blender, and there are a lot of articles on the FlightGear Wiki about using it.
Note: An importer/exporter for FlightGear's most common 3D format (AC3D, .ac) is only included in Blender version 2.49b or older. For later versions you have to install it manually:
- Forum thread
- AC3D Blender plugin: Stable version (Github)
- AC3D Blender plugin: Experimental version for Blender svn version (Github)
