I dislike the default lighting in the viewport at times; depending on the model, it can be hard to view certain faces with the default lighting/shading.

Once you get through the interface and start working with MARI there is no more robust texture toolset on the market. MARI can work with huge texture sizes and multiple UDIMS, putting it into a class leading workflow. The controls are simple and intuitive...

A lot of patience is required, it's not an easy software and requires a lot of time to be understood.
