What do you like best about Blender?

Blender requires little study to learn the basics. And if you try hard enough you can learn to use it really well because it's very intuitive. Plus there are tons of tutorials online. PLUS IT'S FREE! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Blender?

If you don't use it continuously over time, you easily forget the commands. Or at least that's what happened to me. Also, for more important and heavy work, you need a good computer Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"I have never been more surprised by a software that is free and offers so many options"

What do you like best about Blender?

As a Blender user, I can't help but brag about its pros, and believe me, there are many. First of all, Blender is free and open source, which means it's extremely accessible and easy for anyone who wants to get started without costing them money. One thing I like about Blender is its variety. It's not just an ordinary 3D program, you can do almost anything with it. Blender offers you everything from modeling and sculpting, texturing to animation and video editing.

Another fantastic feature of Blender is its procedural workflow. Image being able to create a 3D object, make changes and yet undo those changes without destroying your object's mesh. It makes a huge difference in maintaing a clean and efficent workflow.

And if you ever get stuck or need help, the Blender community is here and there are lots of resources available, including tutorials, FAQs and support groups. You will never feel alone on your Blender journey. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Blender?

As much as I love Blender, and it is fantastic program for learning and working on standalone projects, you should be aware that it is not consodered the industry standart, but it is improving all the time.

Sometimes it can be a bit buggy. It's always good to be prepared for occasional bug.

What I personally don't like are the collision simulations, they behave very unpredictably.

But, I don't have much to complain about Blender, it's a great tool. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"The limit is your phantasy"
5/5
What do you like best about Blender?

Blender takes its strength from the large community constantly sharing and developing the code. It has incredibly changed and grown since the first versions and this was possible thanks to the Community. Furthermore, you can use Blender to do any kind of 3d and its basic and integrated render engine is powerful. The possibility to do 2d animations starting from a 3d model is extraordinary! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Blender?

The interface is really complex and could generate anxiety for a newbie. On the other hand, Blender has an option and a command for almost everything, so it is quite impossible to design an easy and friendly-lòooking interface. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Blender is one of the best tools for anyone who wish to work with 3D modals"
5/5
What do you like best about Blender?

One of the best things about blender is how many things it is capable of doing on its own; it supports multiple types of files (almost all), and not only that, but you can use python programs to get the things you want to work, you will really enjoy it once you find out it can do almost everything in 3D Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Blender?

Blender is so giant and has so much functionality in it that sometimes you might feel overwhelmed, and it's not something that you'll pick up and start working on it; one must have good knowledge of not only 3D but also shortcuts of it because as work gets time-consuming if you don't use shortcut Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The slow learning curve is not so easy, help or support, a bit confusing for newbies, hogs lot of hardware resources on most of the PCs, some parts are buggy and basic, which can be improved, and it's still not accepted as the industry standard. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

4.5/5
What do you like best about Blender?

One feature that sets Blender apart from other tools is that it is an open-source project and has profoundly transformed the fields of animation, visual effects, and digital art. Due to Blender's open-source nature, it is fully free to use, allowing artists on a tight budget to have unrestricted access to high-end software. The community of blender is something that helps the beginners most. The real-time rendering engine in Blender is revolutionary. It makes it simpler for artists to iterate and make changes immediately because they can instantly watch their scenes come to life. Also, the documentation, tutorials, and learning resources are making it easier for users to get started and learn new techniques Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Blender?

The interface that Blender provides may be confusing for users who are using it for the first time. Because of the complexity of software and all the renders it has to do, it requires specific hardware requirements so the performance can sometimes be a concern Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Incredibly powerful, free tool for 3D animation and VFX"
4.5/5
What do you like best about Blender?

Blender lowers the price barrier for entry to zero while offering a package that is as capable as most other solutions that cost thousands of dollars on the low end. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Blender?

It's not a fault with Blender, per se. However, the primary reason that Blender has not taken over the CG space is that proprietary solutions have a stranglehold, and this will be the biggest factor in deciding if Blender is right for you and your company. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
