Blender with someone a very powerful and well developed game designing software. And that's why it's claimed to be the best. In my opinion blender is such a environment where one can easily develop graphic skills and further make games.

An absolute Bliss for beginners

Easy to work with, has an active community presence online that teaches and creates together. A must-have for small-scaled teams and Indie game devs that require 3D modelling of any sorts. Could also be used as a concept creator or a Video editor!

Great software for beginner designers/modellers

I am a game developer and my primary software is unity. My work often got halted because i knew nothing about 3d modelling and i thought it was difficult. Until i stumbled upon a video on youtube that featured blender. I loved the flexibility blender had to offer and how creative one could be. The features were on point and exporting stuff was really easy. This made my workflow really quick. If you somehow got stuck somewhere there is a great amount of youtube tutorials on basically everything. I really suggest this software to everyone.

Opinion of Blender user

Blender is a free Open-source software which can give you the same result as paid softwares. It allows you to Paint and do 3D modelling,Sculpting, Video editing, Rendering, Animation and many more things.It has an active developing community that works hard to keep the software as up-to-date as possible.And the Blender UI is simply much better compared to other softwares.

What do you like best about Blender?

The versatile tools in Blender allow the user to create even the most complex of cinematic special effects, especially rigging & excellent sculpting abilities to create utterly anthropomorphic characters. Blender's UI is clean, refined and intuitive.

What do you dislike about Blender?

There is so much to be learned as a beginner to be able to make any 3D model or animation.And the gargantuan number of tools can be a pretty daunting prospect,especially infeasible for hobbyists.

Do you think Blender delivers value for the money spent?

Yes

Are you satisfied with Blender features?

No

What features is Blender currently missing?

Not any I know of...

What other products like Blender have you used or evaluated?

Autodesk Maya. Photo-realistic imagery and animated visual effects based upon animated 3D scenes can be rendered efficiently with tools offered by Maya.Initial learning curve is moderate for Maya compared to the steep one of Blender.

How Blender is better/different from its competitors?

Free to use Blender provides tools more suited to visual effects, interior design and architecture.

Experiencing new ways of illustration and 3D art.

Blender helped me working with three dimensional Illustration, set designs and isometric architectural renderings. It has really gained my interest immensely in three dimensional work. It is a great and strong software and is a joy to work with with the great feature of being completely free, as compared to other softwares.

Blender review

An amazing, small-sized, and very powerful tool to create beautiful 2D and 3D images and videos. I recently came across the tool since I am into drawing and animations and was previously using Adobe Illustrator and Adobe Photoshop but I was blown away as soon as I installed and started working on it. Very easy to use user interface and hundreds of tools to offer drawing assistance.

Blender is a free software. You can use this for commercial or for educational purposes for free. However they have a subscriptions plan for cloud service which is pretty low as compare to others software in the market.

What do you dislike about Blender?

Blender have so many shortcuts so you have to learn all of them to use it. It also have problem with rendering. If you are making a movie then it will be very complicated since you are using a open community software it has some downfall.
