In their own words
Bforartists
Bforartists is a free desktop 3D creation suite for producing game graphics, pre-rendered movies, and still images. Its tools cover modeling, sculpting, texturing, rigging, animation, rendering, and post-processing, with 3D print export also available. The project uses a graphical, menu-oriented interface intended to make Blender’s tools easier to discover. It is compatible with Blender files and uses the same Python API. Most Blender add-ons work, although Renderman for Blender and Amaranth Toolset are listed exceptions. Rendering options include Cycles with CPU and GPU rendering and Eevee for real-time rendering. Bforartists runs on Linux, macOS, and Windows. Listed minimum requirements are a 64-bit quad-core CPU with SSE2, 8 GB RAM, and a graphics card with 2 GB RAM and OpenGL 4.3. The Windows installer is unsigned and may trigger a warning; a ZIP file or Windows App is offered as an alternative. The project describes its developers as volunteers and hobbyists and small indie developers as intended users.
