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 > > Blown away by the power and scalability of a free program ----- ### "Great for architectural visualizations" — 5.0/5 > **Favio** | *April 10, 2024* | Architecture & Planning | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10 > > **Pros**: Blender’s comprehensive suite of tools is a game-changer for creating detailed architectural 3D renderings and visualizations. Its is constantly improving and updating with new content. > > **Cons**: Due to its steep learning curve can be hard to manage at first, especially for those new to 3D modeling software. > > Using Blender changed how I presented my architectural designs during this period. It took some time to master, but now it’s an essential part of my design toolkit. Not for every scenario, though, but it's great to have the alternative in my software portfolio to produce high-quality visuals that bring my projects to life. ----- ### "Blender represents a significant experience for the world of 3D modeling." — 5.0/5 > **Asdrúbal Javier** | *August 6, 2025* | Arts & Crafts | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: I have been a Blender user for 6 years, I work in 3D, one of the things I liked most about Blender is its potential as an open source software, generally speaking I have seen the software distributed in another way and seeing its evolution over time seems incredible to me, what I like most is that now it meets the needs of the user according to the type of work that one does in 3D and its segmentation is much better, also all the power it has in each area for example it is quite complete in modeling, sculpting, texturing, and the most incredible thing is the new geometry node, which is a very rich place to create procedural geometries, not to mention the amount of addons and things that it allows you to achieve, it is a program to exploit, I could make a whole sheet saying everything I think, in fact I teach classes with this software and so far my experience has been good > > **Cons**: Blender may be powerful, but I feel that with artificial intelligence it is still behind, however it is still one of the best programs I have tried, I don't know if I have many things to say, because I find it easy, but I am certainly sure that there will be improvements to be made because you can always build more on open source software, and I think they have understood well what did not work in the past. > > I've been working with Blender for 6 years and since I started using it I haven't stopped using it. It has served me for everything, including currently giving workshops related to my art and I use the software as a teaching tool. That's very rich, it's easy for me to break it down and study it, because it's made for the user. ----- ### "Blender - Free And Amazing\!" — 5.0/5 > **Jessica** | *December 18, 2025* | Computer Games | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: For a free software, it has an amazing amount of coverage for all types of industry roads (3D, 2D, Rendering, VFX, Animation, the list goes on) and has amazing features for artists. The software is also frequently updated with new stuff, keeping up with the industry needs and standards. > > **Cons**: Though it is a positive, the amount of stuff it covers can be overwhelming for new users and it takes some time to wrap your head around where everything is - but once you know, it because a valuable tool. > > I love Blender, I mostly use it for hard surface modelling and UV unwrapping - which has always worked so well for me. It took me a while to understand it all and I still have my moments of confusion, but the software is worth every bit of effort. ----- ### "Donate to Blender\!" — 5.0/5 > **Kay** | *February 23, 2026* | Entertainment | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: It does so many things. I use it every day for almost every stage of the game character pipeline for light sculpting, box modeling, UV editing, texturing hand painted textures, retopology, rigging and animation. It has so many other features that I hardly ever use and am still learning about, and it is constantly being updated and improving. > > **Cons**: Sculpting tools and brushes don't 'feel' that great, also it can be buggy if you use subdivisions. Also, the skinning/weight painting system is cumbersome at times. > > Overall, this is my go to 3D software, I use it for basically everything in my work. Once you get past the quirks it is one of the most reliable programs that I use ----- Page: 1 / 39\ Next: [Next page](https://www.capterra.ca/software/167519/blender?page=2) ## Links - [View on Capterra](https://www.capterra.ca/software/167519/blender) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | de | | | de-AT | | | de-CH | | | en | | | en-AE | | | en-AU | | | en-CA | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-IL | | | en-IN | | | en-NZ | | | en-SG | | | en-ZA | | | es | | | es-AR | | | es-CL | | | es-CO | | | es-CR | | | es-DO | | | es-EC | | | es-MX | | | es-PA | | | es-PE | | | fr | | | fr-BE | | | fr-CA | | | fr-LU | | | it | | | ja | | | nl | | | nl-BE | | | pt | | | pt-PT | | ----- ## Structured Data
