The Purple project is an experimental project done in conjunction with the blender foundation. It is written to investigate a approach to building a future version of the 3d application blender based on verse, and was first presented at the Blender conf in 2002. It is currently beeing developed by Emil Brink.

The basic idea is to build an back end plug-in interface for 3d functionality, and let multiple different front ends connect and use that functionality remotely. This is why this project consists of two apps, the back end (for now called "Purple") and a front-end
