 Ton was the original lead developer of Blender when he founded the animation studio NeoGeo in 1988.  After 7 years of development it was decided that to continue improving the product it was required to perform a complete rewrite of the software.  Thus, in 1995, the development for what is now known as Blender began.  Ton started a spin-off of NeoGeo in 1998 called Not a Number (NaN) which had its goal to develop and distribute a powerful 3D tool for free.  The business model hinged on providing commercial products and services for Blender.  However, after disappointing sales results of the Blender Publisher product in 2001 the then current investors decided to shutdown the company and thus development of Blender.
-The Blender community, however, did not want to see such a powerful tool disappear games. [http://juegosdecocina-9.org juegos de cocina] Ton started the Blender Foundation which negotiated with the investors to allow the releasing of the Blender source code under the GNU General Public License if they were paid a sum of 100,000 EUR.  The foundation raised that amount from the support of the community and the Free Blender campaign.  On Sunday October 13, 2002 the Blender source code was released to the public.
