Why OSINT Investigators Choose Blender

Blender is the Swiss Army knife for open-source intelligence visualization. Free, powerful, and proven by leading OSINT organizations worldwide.

🌍

Geolocation Verification

Match photos and videos to real-world locations using 3D terrain models, satellite imagery, and Google Earth integration. Verify claims with precision.

πŸ›°οΈ

Satellite Imagery Analysis

Import and analyze satellite imagery from Sentinel Hub, Planet Labs, and commercial providers. Create elevation models and measure distances accurately.

πŸ“

3D Reconstruction

Reconstruct crime scenes, conflict zones, and incident locations from multiple photos, videos, and witness testimonies for comprehensive analysis.

🎯

Visual Evidence Creation

Create court-ready visualizations and compelling presentations that make complex geospatial evidence clear and understandable to any audience.

πŸ”—

OSINT Tools Integration

Seamlessly integrate with Google Earth, QGIS, OpenStreetMap, and other OSINT tools. Build complete workflows from data gathering to presentation.

πŸ’°

Free & Open-Source

No expensive licenses. Blender is completely free, with a thriving community and constant updates. Perfect for independent investigators and NGOs.

Popular OSINT Workflows You'll Master

Learn battle-tested workflows used by professional OSINT investigators in real-world investigations.

1. Photo Geolocation Workflow

Step 1: Extract metadata and analyze visual clues (landmarks, shadows, architecture)

Step 2: Import suspected location from Google Earth into Blender as 3D terrain

Step 3: Match camera angle, focal length, and perspective to photo

Step 4: Verify landmarks, distances, and sun position

Step 5: Generate comparison renders and document findings

2. Satellite Imagery Analysis Workflow

Step 1: Download satellite imagery (Sentinel, Planet Labs, or commercial)

Step 2: Import into Blender as textured terrain using elevation data

Step 3: Measure distances, areas, and volumes accurately

Step 4: Compare images over time to detect changes

Step 5: Create annotated 3D flythrough animations

3. Incident Reconstruction Workflow

Step 1: Gather all available photos, videos, and witness statements

Step 2: Create accurate 3D model of location using satellite/street view data

Step 3: Place objects, vehicles, and people based on evidence

Step 4: Animate timeline of events with timestamps

Step 5: Export presentation-ready visualizations

What OSINT Investigators Say

Sarah M.
Conflict Researcher

"The geolocation verification workflow completely changed how I approach investigations. I can now definitively prove or disprove location claims with 3D evidence that stands up to scrutiny."

James K.
Human Rights Investigator

"Blender training was exactly what our NGO needed. We went from struggling with basic satellite imagery to producing court-ready 3D reconstructions in just 3 months."
