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
- I liked the flexibility and ease of use that overall make it a good alternative to CAD or other more sophisticated software without a significant loss of quality.
- I love how it creates something for you. It helps you expand your imagination and creativity, as well as helpful to homeowners.
- Planner 5D is simply fantastic. With it, I was able to unleash my creativity and turn my dreams into amazing design projects.
Cons
- Made a mistake and subscribed the yearly subscription.
- BUT, they understood how frustrating this was, and offered me a 30% discount for the year. Fast forward another email or two, they increased the discount to 50%, but would not consider a full refund.
- No monthly billing option - Can only purchase a yearly subscription.
