With the Picture Mixer, you can merge pictures and text into 3D scenes such as billboards or fluttering flags. The Picture Mixer helps you get started using Blender (a free and open 3D graphics tool) to make interesting pictures and animations. We collect basic 3D designs and let you customize them and preview the results quickly online. When you are happy with how things are set up, we'll run blender and generate a nice high-quality result for you. If you would like to try your hand at Blender yourself, you can download the design and play around with it as you like.
