Welcome
to the Vault

The ultimate archive of production history
behind 20 years of Open Movies.
Subscribe

Blender Studio Vault holds the complete production data of every Open Movie from the past two decades: an archive of artistic exploration that has continuously driven Blender's content-led development.

From the beginning, Open Movies were created in public, inviting everyone to follow the process from first idea to final premiere. The Vault brings all of that together in one place and goes further: some files are available here for the very first time, fetched directly from Blender Studio archive drives.
