Another thing I like is that it does not only creation of animations but also one can create games using this software. Navigating through its interface is easy with its various features. This software supports various graphic formats compared to related alternatives. Lastly is its versatility, adapting these software is easy and it can easily be changed to develop 2D also. > > **Cons**: Learning curve is really deep but one you understand how to use that software, you would not have any need of these other software's. This really consumes a lot of time since you'll have to look for supporting documents for for you to fully understand the workings of this software, otherwise it is so far the best software I have ever used for 3D modelling. > > It is completely the best perfect tool if you want to learn 3D. It takes time for one to learn but once to understand how to use it you will never for any other software used to develop 3D models. ----- ### "Free modeling environment for 3D beginners with powerful functionality" — 5.0/5 > **Tommaso** | *22 September 2024* | Design | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: Free and open source strong modeler and renderer > > **Cons**: Unintuitive UX require some study and adaptation > > A strong tool to manage animation in a solid environment with all the 3D capabilities you need ----- ### "Overrated complex 3-D software" — 3.0/5 > **Nishit** | *17 July 2021* | Computer Software | Recommendation rating: 5.0/10 > > **Pros**: What I really like about Blender is that it is completely free and there is no compromise in the features. Using free software that is used widely across the industries gives my creative team full freedom to come up with something creative every single time without any constraint. > > **Cons**: User Interface is where Blender completely lacks. Although keeping in mind that there are a lot of functionalities and features, UI has to be suffered little. Due to all this, Blender seems very complex. > > Blender is a good software for a company that does not have an extra budget for 3-D softwares or has very few use-cases. ----- ### "Animation and modeling for beginners up to professionals" — 5.0/5 > **Verified Reviewer** | *15 September 2022* | Information Technology & Services | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: The community is the best part of this software. There is always someone you can ask, and they are all willing to give a hand or a pointer in the right direction. There is also plenty of materials for almost every possible topic. It has become a fundamental piece of software that many artists use for their daily work and there is always a new plugin that will add more tooling to your creative process. And you can always create, modify or better any thing that you have in mind as it is open source, but it also has API access to almost every functionality. > > **Cons**: I believe that the community has been constructing a great piece of software and has eliminated any thing I could have had against it. > > We are constructing models for games, websites, desktop applications and animations. Once you get the philosophy that goes with the software it integrates nicely into the pipeline and is very easy to use and get results. Having support from some 3D rendering farms on the cloud generates a resource and costs optimization in our production pipeline. ----- ### "Blender IS the New Standard" — 4.0/5 > **Jeremy** | *4 March 2022* | Entertainment | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: One of the major benefits of the software being open source is the quick and relatively easy ability for community members to create custom plugins and addons. This functionality allows the developers at the Blender Foundation to focus more on core features rather than specific edge use cases (however common) that are more easily resolved and tested by the Blender community instead. Ultimately this means MUCH faster development and improved tools than any other 3D software can do. In the last 3-4 years I have used Blender I have seen it come from a rather mundane and average 3D software to easily outpacing some of the 3D giants in many respects. Very few instances does using another 3D software make sense over Blender. > > **Cons**: There are still some performance issues with sculpting that I'd love to see improvements in the future. For instance, I have an i7 4790 CPU, 24 gigs of DDR3 RAM, a 4 TB SSD, and a GTX 1070 8gbs VRAM GPU and more than 3-5 million triangles in sculpting mode either slows my computer down to a crawl OR crashes blender outright. However, using a software like Zbrush I can easily sculpt at 20-30 million triangles before I have any sort of lag or crash. That performance difference is quite major and is one of the only places where I prefer to use another software. > > Learning and using blender over the past several years has really been a game changer for me. In-Engine modeling tools cut it for quick blockouts, but further than that it's important to use a software that has dedicated tools and interface for 3D modeling. Blender is the obvious option in 2022 and going forward do to the sheer amount of documentation, the fantastic community, the available tools, and how quickly new features and improvements are able to be made onto the platform. Although AAA studios are slow to adopt Blender into their pipelines, it is crucial for new studios, rather indie, AA, or AAA to adopt Blender into their pipelines over similar software. ----- Page: 1 / 39\ Next: [Next page](https://www.getapp.co.uk/software/2059673/blender?page=2) ## Links - [View on GetApp](https://www.getapp.co.uk/software/2059673/blender) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | en | | | en-AE | | | en-AU | | | en-CA | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-NZ | | | en-SG | | | en-ZA | | | pt | | | pt-PT | | ----- ## Structured Data
