The procedural geometry nodes system in Blender lets me build complex models that update non-destructively, something I couldn't dream of before. Combined with the sculpting tools and the asset browser, my whole pipeline lives in one app now. Every release adds features I didn't know I needed.
Procedural workflow, constant updates
I had no background in 3D and Blender's huge community of free tutorials got me modelling and animating within weeks. The interface clicked once I learned the shortcuts and now it feels incredibly efficient. From a hobby to freelance work, Blender made it all possible for me.
Great community, efficient once learned
Blender keeps getting better with every version and the development is fully open and transparent. I use it for modelling product mockups and the precision tools are excellent. That such a powerful 3D creation suite is free and improving this fast is remarkable. Donating gladly.
Powerful, transparent, always improving
For my architectural visualisations the real-time EEVEE renderer gives me near-final previews instantly, and Cycles handles the final photoreal shots. Switching between them in the same project is seamless. Blender has completely replaced the expensive suite I used to rent. Couldn't be happier.
Fast real-time and photoreal rendering
Blender does modelling, sculpting, animation and rendering with Cycles and EEVEE all in one package, and it's completely free. I finished a full animated short entirely in Blender and the output looked professional. The fact that a community-driven project delivers this is genuinely inspiring.
