“Solid 3D Graphics Tool

Pros

The layer-based system feels natural to me since I come from an Adobe After Effects background. It's really handy for creating elements and motion graphics work. Lighting and texturing are simple and there are prebuilt lighting setups and textures available for your elements and scenes. Making custom textures is simple too. I can easily create models or import existing ones into my animations. Getting models into animations is smooth and integration with other software like After Effects works well.

Cons

Starting out can be very challenging if you're new to this stuff. You really need to understand 3D modeling, lighting, and texturing before diving in. Animation principles are also essential, without that foundation, your going to struggle quite a bit.

“Top modeling tool with limitations

Pros

I find this software incredibly simple to work with and there's an abundance of helpful videos and tutorials available for both beginners and those looking to advance their skills. The installation was easy on my Windows machine and getting started felt natural right away. What really impresses me is how comprehensive it is and I can create 3D models from basic shapes, sculpt and modify them, then add textures and materials all within the same program. Everything I need for my projects is built right in which saves me from switching between different tools.

Cons

One downside is that there are free alternatives out there that offer similar 3D modeling capabilities, so the value proposition isn't always clear.

“Perfect Tool for Motion Design Workflow

Pros

The presets are fantastic and the interface really stands out especially coming from a traditional graphic design background, I find it incredibly easy to work with.

Cons

Rendering takes forever and you need a powerful machine to handle detailed scenes without it slowing down to a crawl.
