Pros/Cons
Pros
- Extremely powerful 3D suite, perfect customization for viewport displays, excellent sculpting abilities, realtime rendering with eevee, massively improved interface, plenty of plugins.
- Blender is a great solution for beginning modeling that and help anyone gain exposure to this kind of software before moving on to one of the bigger names.
- It's Open Source software that is so super powerful. Can perform like its paid competitors and has a huge community to bounce ideas, concepts and even functions off from.
Cons
- It seems to be overly concerned with allowing you to change the look and layout of everything to the point that it's easy to accidentally mess thing up and it's difficult to reset it.
- It has no windows user aproach to its use and it is awkward to pick up and start making any project very fast. Option are cluttered all over the place.
- At first, I was scared and intimidated by Blender.
Pros
- The way you guys hear the petitions of the community its great. The amount of free assets, quality of renders.
- Super affordable price for the value, speed and quality of operation, stability, all that with a great model library always growing.
- The quality of the results is outstanding with realistic lighting and materials that bring designs to life.
Cons
- Yearly pricing, i am very sad that there is no perpetual license.
- No possibility of applying materials to single objects (independent of material). Missing option of layer import -> Twinmotion does both better.
- HDRI always blurry at final results, they should enhance GI and real displacement.
