In the company’s Development Fund, Apple is set to provide resources and engineering expertise to Blender and its community, including developers and artists. Ton Roosendaal, Blender CEO, mentioned that macOS will be a supported Blender platform following the announcement.
Blender’s Development Fund accepts donations to continue providing accessible, open and free services for contributors, including onboarding, technical documentation, code reviews and bug fixing, among others.
