Blender Software Reviews, Demo & Pricing – 2023

This reviewer was invited by us to submit an honest review and offered a nominal incentive as a thank you.

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.

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.

Reasons for switching to Blender

NewTek makes a great product, but their main interest is on video pipelines, so Lightwave3D is not getting much love. And now that VizRT has bought NewTek, things are going slower.
