### "Powerful 3d tool when you crack the learning curve."

July 15, 2025

5.0

Blender helps realise my design ideas before anything is constructed. It’s made my ideas more comprehensible to clients, and it’s made closing deals happen

Pros

I like how much creativity it gives me. I have interiors to build out, lighting to tweak and I can show clients realistic renders without spending tons of money on software. The material and light choices are really good.

Cons

It took me a little while to get used to the interface, it’s not all that intuitive at first. I had to watch a lot of tutorials before I was able to really zip around with it.

### "Ein Open-source Industriestandard"

November 26, 2024

5.0

Bei mir hat es recht lange gedauert bis ich mich an das UI gewöhnt habe, aber sobald man das verinnerlicht geht das total. War ein super Einstieg in das 3D universum, da es keine Preishürde gibt um es ausgiebig zu testen und begleitet mich bis heute in meinen Beruf jeden Tag.

Pros

Eine kostenlose open-source software die stetig weiterentwickelt wird und in vielen Teilen die inzwischen sehr teure Konkurrenz übertrifft

Cons

Einige Features sind bei der Konkurrenz um einiges früher da, Die Benutzeroberfläche ist anfangs schwierig zu verstehen

### "l'universo completo della modellazione 3d"

March 5, 2025

5.0

Blender non è solo un programma, ma è un mondo intero. Infinite sono le strade perseguibili grazie a questo programma. Di fondamentale importanza è la communiti di sviluppatori e artisti alle spalle di Blender, che con precisione e competenza donano il proprio sapere.

Pros

Blender permetta a chiunque di compiere il grande passo che separa il mondo del bidimensionale e del tridimensionale.

Cons

Un pro, ma anche un contro di Blender è la quantità di strumenti utilizzabili che da un lato rappresentano la struttura portante di un programma ben strutturato e completo, ma dall'altro potrebbe confondere un utente poco esperto

### "Blender is the entry point to 3d art"

October 28, 2024

4.0

My experience has been incredible. Everything I know now about 3d art, I first learned through blender use. I learned with their animation tools, modeling tools, texturing tools, and rendering tools.

Pros

I love that blender is free, open source, and the entrance place for a lot of artists. It lends to such an open and fresh creative community of new developers and 3d artists. Blender is also an extremely performant renderer.

Cons

I think blenders animation tools could use work. They don't really match up to the industry standard like some of their other tools.

Just great, I keep learning everyday and it is quite the challenge to understand all features since it is such a comprehensive software with a huge community

Pros

IT DOES EVERYTHING and with such a beautiful quality and easy interface. I simply love it.

### "Blender is a Jack of all Trades"

December 8, 2024

5.0

I use blender for modeling, UVs, and other 3d asset work.

Pros

Love that it is free and open source. I also am a fan of the philosophy of the team behind it.

Cons

Blender is kind of a jack of all trades master of none. Many things feel like they need a layer of polish.

### "Blender for 3D Modeling: Robustness and Variety of Features (for Free)"

November 6, 2024

5.0

I used Blender for a few personal projects while I was learning more about 3D modeling. I didn’t use it for too long since I eventually moved away from this area, even though I really enjoyed it. Anyway, regarding the tool, I loved it—no crashes during any of my projects, and some of them were quite heavy. It truly offers an endless array of options, from geometric shapes to different types of shadow rendering, light positioning, camera angles, and more. I highly recommend it.

Pros

I liked that Blender offers many options for modeling, especially for hard surface modeling. I haven't used it as much for character modeling, but it's an incredible tool for creating environments, objects, armor, and so on. Additionally, I found it to be a software with excellent rendering quality and lighter than others I've used before.

Cons

Eu diria que a curva de aprendizado no software não é tão simples, pois tem muitas variáveis no uso, porém depois que você aprende, já fica tudo automático.

April 16, 2025

4.0

Pros

I like all aspects of Blender. It requires some skills to get the most out of it and create everything you visualize

### "Blender for the Win!"

March 5, 2025

5.0

My overall experience has been good with blender, It was an easy program to learn and I'm able to model at a faster rate than Maya with faster smoothing features.

Pros

Blender is a fast and ready-to-go software, Im able to do any type of modeling faster than most 3d modeling software. I like how versatile it is.

Cons

The least thing I like about Blender is it's not mainstream in the keyboard shortcuts but is still easy to understand and adjust.

### "Blender: un programma perfetto per l’edit!"

January 21, 2023

5.0

Insomma, Blender nel mio caso si rivela veramente un’ottima forma per editare video, creare immagini a fini di venderli oppure (in certi casi) lo uso per scopi personali.

Pros

Ciò che mi piace di più di questo software è ciò che garantisce, nel mio caso lo uso per lavori part-time per arrotondare a fine mese e si rivela veramente un’ottima opzione!

Cons

Inconvenienti? Solitamente ho avuto degli intoppi in certi casi, sì. Come per esempio alcuni bug nel sistema oppure a livello hgeafico che impedivano per esempio l’edit del video.

November 7, 2024

4.0

Blown away by the power and scalability of a free program

Pros

The fact that it’s free! This was my introduction to 3D animation and was blown away at the power and amazing results that can be achieved. The blender community is even more powerful with thousands of tutorials online and developers pushing the boundaries.

Cons

The learning curve and complexity of the interface

Pros

Blender ist seit über 10 Jahren für mich wie eine Wundermachine mit der man unglaublich viele verschiedene Sachen in 3D, 2D, bis hin zur Holywood-Filmprodukion machen kann.

Cons

Es braucht viel Zeit und Geduld um den ganzen Umfang von Blender zu begreifen und zu beherschen.

### "Belnder la mia e4sperienza."

September 1, 2023

4.0

Blender è divenuto uno strumento indispensabile offrire prodotti video al passo con i tempi in cui le animazioni 3d sono ormai sempre più richieste.

Pros

Blender è un software opensource scaricabile ed utilizzabile gratuitamente e sostenuto da una community con professionisti sempre pronti ad aiutare anche i neofiti. Questo elemento, unito alla completezza offerta da questa vera e propria suite, certamente lo rende uno strumento molto interessante anche a livello professionale.

Cons

Non lo ritengo un software intuitivo come altri di pari livello che sono però a pagamento. Belnder può garantire risultati di altissimo livello ma richiede molto studio e applicazione che possono scoraggiare che cerca invece soluzioni "pre-confezionate".

Reason for choosing Blender

Ho iniziato ad usarlo perché gratis, scoprendo via via, con mia grande sorpresa, le enormi potenzialità di questo incredibile prodotto.

### "Blender - Powerful Teaching Tool to inspire 3d modelers and crafters."

October 17, 2023

4.0

The primary advantage Blender has for our use here at the library is the cost savings of using open source. There are no licensing fees and the students are free to install copies of blender on their own computers and laptops. This is a huge benefit to the open source nature of Blender. If we get additional students in our STEAM classes we don't have to worry about how many seats we have available. While we do have a limit on the number of available laptops to use in the class this can be expanded by some students bringing their own laptops. The excitement that students show when they render their first simple scenes and again when they render their first animations is incredible. I have been teaching blender in a classroom environment for nearly two decades now and love to hear former students share how they have continued to use blender in their work or their hobbies.

Pros

I teach STEAM workshops for 3rd -12th grade students at our local library. Blender provides a great platform to introduce 3d modeling. As open source software there are no budget crippling licensing fees and not even my advanced students are going to push the limits of Blender. We are able to explore 3d modeling, animation and key framing to develop fun realistic photos and movies. In addition the students are exposed to 3d printing to see their work enter into the real world. Blender captures the imaginations of students, whether they are more technically inclined or artistic. I recommend blender to any STEAM instructors.

Cons

Blender has a reputation as being difficult to use. I have been using it since shortly after it was open sourced. My experience in 3d up until then came from using Caligari's Truespace, which was probably the most intuitive 3d program on the market at that time. Blender definitely had a steep learning curve. Today much of that initial learning curve has been simplified tremendously with an improved gui, hotkey choices and listening to users. That said, students can still be overwhelmed by Blender's complexity unless carefully guided through their initial exposure. I don't see this as a flaw of Blender, but rather a result of the power that it has.

Reason for choosing Blender

As mentioned above, the capabilities of blender when added to it's free licensing made it the perfect 3d modeling software for STEAM workshops at the library.

### "Blender: 3D and beyond"

September 13, 2023

5.0

Been using this software for nearly 8+ years, and it's been incredible update after update. In my experience, the features are so endless that the learning experience is always rewarding in it's rediscoverability. Many things can be achieved, and they can be done usually in different approaches. You are not tied to only one way of doing things. From what I see, updates are always being released and the development for this program is steady.

Pros

All kinds of tools, from sculpting to texturing, to video editing, to 2D animation, to modeling. Blender has them all! It supports add-ons and Python scripting. It has a great rendering engine for Path-Tracing, Cycles, and another one called EEVEE for real-time 3D visualization. The software is really advanced and allows a lot of freedom.

Cons

Can be hard for beginners, has a steep learning-curve. 2D with Grease Pencil could be improved and developed further, Video Editing as well. Although they aren't part of the core functionality, they are helpful and nice to have indeed, but it is important to note the strengths of this program are its 3D features.

### "It can be very hard to learn"

October 24, 2023

4.0

Blender is good for advanced motion graphic design. It's free and easily accessible.

Pros

Software surf is a progressive search and I have done a lot of testing and trying hoping to fall on a perfect fit. I've tried Blender for a few months and got to discover some of its coolest features.-Blender is open-source and free for almost anyone with a good PC to use. This makes it attractive because users with no budget get to work with it too.- It's cross-platform compatible: It works on popular operating systems like macOS, Windows, and Linux- providing users with extra flexibility as they can work with their preferred operating systems.- It also provides a comprehensive feature set for modeling, sculpting, animation, rendering, compositing, and video editing, making it a versatile all-in-one solution for designers.- There are regular updates and new features are constantly introduced or improved in the software which can be essential for renovating user experience.- There is great support from the community like tutorials and resources that's why I rated it excellent.

Cons

Here are some of the major reasons why I switched from using Blender:- Its interface is non-standard: It has a completely different user interface that can be very difficult to master. Features are too nested and this can be overwhelming as you'll have to go through multiple features to use a specific one.- It's less supported in the market: It's true Blender is quite popular and perhaps, grows at a steady rate, however, it's still deferred in terms of widespread in the market as a lot of professionals tend to prefer other tools like Maya, After Effects or Cinema 4D. A potential reason is that these are hard to learn and are easily adaptable.

### "Blender : Blend your imagination"

February 19, 2023

4.0

Blender: it blends your thought with a wide variety of tools Sets . No other software is compatible or even near with this big giant in an open source community

Pros

As the industry is going to be more professional and cost-effective day by day, the blender offers a wide variety of tools and presets along with plug-ins that suits your ultimate requirement

Cons

Everyone is moving towards extreme professionalism , While blender is providing from a to Z solutions, coming to the point perfection in all the Stream is yet to be achieved, I guess blender achieved 90% accuracy and 10 yet to be achieved

Switched from

[Adobe Animate](https://www.capterra.com/p/229311/Adobe-Animate/)[Animation Desk](https://www.capterra.com/p/267321/Animation-Desk/)

### "Blender : logiciel 3D polyvalent."

February 25, 2023

4.0

expérience positive avec ce logiciel, grâce à sa polyvalence, sa communauté active et son développement continu.

Pros

J'apprécie particulièrement la polyvalence de Blender, qui peut être utilisé pour la modélisation 3D, l'animation, le montage vidéo et la création de jeux. De plus, la communauté Blender est très active, offrant un soutien et des ressources utiles aux utilisateurs.

Cons

Un point faible de Blender pourrait être sa courbe d'apprentissage abrupte pour les débutants, due à la complexité de son interface utilisateur. De plus, certaines fonctionnalités avancées peuvent être difficiles à maîtriser pour les utilisateurs inexpérimentés.

### "Opinion from Blender use who has 5 years of experience "

November 22, 2019

5.0

I have been working in blender for over 5 years, i am an interior designer and blender gave everything i wanted in this field : Redering, modeling, lighting, materials.... Blender has everything for me to work on a big projects. I started working in blender and i think ill never change it, maybe i will add some but i will never change blender to other 3D software.

Pros

Blender is Open-source software which is Free which is very important thing if you compare it to other softwares. Blender can give you same result as paid softwares. In this program you can make a lot of things, you can : Paint, 3D models, Sculpting, Video editing, Rendering, Animation and many more things. Blender has it's own Rendering engine so you don't have to buy it and trust me it's very good even if it's free. Development team is putting their heart in this product and you can see it in their daily builds, it gets better and better. Community is amazing, you can find many groups, forums and websites dedicated to blender and blender users, there are alot of plugins and models too. you also can use models from other softwares by simply importing FBX or OBJ file format in blender scene.

Cons

It's not an industry standard and ill try to explain why.... Blender is new program and lately it got better that's why many people don't use it, they think that it's a free program and they don't look at it seriously, also many big companies already have stuff which work on Maya or 3Ds max and they don't want to get a new team member who works in blender, because big companies make big projects, every team member is making his part in this project and if one of the team member uses different program, he/she could not use others assets, materials, lighting and many other stuff.... to cut a long story short, Blender is not industry standard because many people don't use it and they still use 3Ds max, maya or any other software.
