    blender.org - Home of the Blender project - Free and Open 3D Creation Software

    Submitted by: Cad Junkie

    While not a "CAD" software there are very compelling reasons to have this a designers wheelhouse of 3D modeling tools.

    - It's free and always will be, runs on a Mac or PC, and has a very strong community of users and developers.
    - Offers a wide range of different tools such as 2D sketching - Grease Pencil, as well as sculptural tools aka zBrush,
    and an amazing rendering and animation suite.
    - Customization allows users to really get in to the software however they so choose. Being able to create code/scripts or purchase ones that suit ones needs from the market place also adds a level of most other packages don't.

  • "I really like it! There are some obvious things to like about it: the aestheric, flexibilty, tool free changes, reparability. Mostly i love a good product ecosystem, they're much easier to buy into and i'm pretty indecisive. The only thing i don't like is their website. There are plenty of images of systems that are put together with interesting modules but i can only see a few of them in the catalogue. It's interesting mentioning utility over the long term especially if you're using a versatile system that you never change. I wonder if just the possibility of change alone makes you place a higher value on a product in the same way that the 'Ikea effect' works? You might look at your shelving set up and think, "even if i buy a bunch more coats, i'll be fine, i can just buy another couple of hook modules" even though that kind of reassuring thought is very fleeting and probably sub-conscious, it has value, doesn't it? Isn't that's why we all put French cleats up in our workshops?  "
