Blender is powerful, especially considering that its model is free to download (open source licensed).
I develop plugins for Blender, this is where it sometimes can frustrate. The API has a few gotchas that really catch out new comers and sometimes things are not immediately obvious from documentation.
All in all though, the tool is powerful, stable and has a large team of full time dedicated developers that are making constant improvements
Comprehensive array of modeling, sculpring, and texturing tools with rendering capabilities. A powerful platform for game development, animation, or graphic design. It is complicated and requires a lot of learning, but at the same time it is intuitive and easy to use once you understand the basics!
Been using Blender since 2009. The progress the guys made during this time is hard to overrate. The fact that nowadays many professional players on the market choose Blender as the main tool talks for itself.
Superb piece of kit, not only because it is free, but because the community buttresses it with any missing features that other software packages may have. In my 8 years of using it in the 3D art space, I have not yet encountered a reason to use any other 3D modelling software. Highly recommend you jump aboard!
Brilliant tool that will inevitably become a studio mainstay. The Blender HQ and community will continue to evolve this tool to become an "industry standard" and propel open-source tech into the mainstream rather than the fringe.
When I started learning 3D, I was using a very complex and rigid software. With Blender, everything became easier and more practical. I can create various objects and scenes without spending too much time on unnecessary tasks.
Best opensource tool I have ever seen.
In short: you can do a complete 3D movie. 3D Animation.
You can also use it for 3D printing etc.
The only downside: you need to know what you want to do & you need time to learn in order to get into a creative flow. But a lot of helpful tutorials can be found.
