Dates, statements and links are preserved from the original.Blender’s success in numbers: whether in the Development Fund, the number of downloads, activities in Dev Talk or followers on social media. At the end of 2019, it is clear that the open-source tool was able to make a big leap in the past year.

These include information on demographics, Open Data Benchmarking and bug fixes. The Blender Foundation currently estimates the number of active Blender users at 1 to 3 million.
