Social Media Manager Online Media Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) 4/19/2024 "A really powerful software for free!" 4.5/5 What do you like best about Blender? I am a big fan of Blender, a 3D software that is both free and open-source. It impresses me with its high-quality tools that are usually found in expensive commercial softwares. Blender includes features commonly used in the industry, such as modeling, animation, simulation, and rendering which I found super helpful. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about Blender? I find Blender to be a great tool, but one thing that bothers me is how hard it can be to learn, especially for someone new to it. The interface is complex and different from what you might be used to, which can make it tough to figure out all the tools and shortcuts at first. Plus, while there is a lot of documentation and tutorials available, they can sometimes be confusing or not up to date for certain features. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is Blender solving and how is that benefiting you? It helped me create 3d model and animation for my products which helped me showcase them better!

Web Developer Computer Software Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) 3/7/2024 "Extremely useful and a powerful free software." 4.5/5 What do you like best about Blender? The best part about blender is that it is free, with all the features and services it provides, it really baffles me how it is compleltely free. It is a really powerful software capable of completing complex tasks . My favourite part is the animation and how easy it is to start creating your first few basic animation by just watching a few tutorials. I used it for 3d modelling too and it definitely stood out amongst its alternatives as it provided more features and was easy once you grasp the few basic commands. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about Blender? Although few, but the main downside I found about blender was how overwhelming it was for me as a complete newbie in the start, the UI was clean but definitely could scare you off as a beginner so you will have to invest a good amount of time in watching tutorials and learn the basics first. Talking about the tutorial, another problem is that many features lack tutorial and may be difficult to understand if you dive deep. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is Blender solving and how is that benefiting you? Blender has always been my go to software whenever I need to create a 3d model or animation for my project.
