Blender provides life like 3-D simulations and if you have the skills you can even achieve photo realistic graphics with it. The water physics are one of the best in blender. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Actually it is pretty hard to get going for beginners. One needs to do a kind of thorough course before getting started. I understand that this application is meant for professionals but the UI can be a bit user friendly too. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
You can turn litterally everything you have in your mind into a 3D Design. It is becoming more and more an industry standard. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
The learning curve is very steep due to the complexity and the number of features. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

In my opinion the best thing about Blender is It's free and open source. This means that anyone can download and use blender without paying a single penny, regardless of their budget or technical skills. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Only the Interface.
Blender has a unique interface that is not based on the standard conventions of other 3D software, this can make it difficult for new users to learn, especially if they are coming from some other 3D software. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Blender is a powerful and versatile 3D creation for professional and beginner creators. Blender is free and open-source so you can get on with ease. Its powerful modelling tool allows you to create 3D models from simple primitives to complex curves and surfaces. It also has an intricate rigging and animation system, allowing you to bring characters to life realistically. Plus, with a physics engine included, you can simulate realistic effects such as cloth and fluid dynamics. Beyond that, you can use the compositor to stitch multiple images together to create stunning visual effects or take advantage of the motion tracking system. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It is a complete package for a beginner as well as an experienced player to start building, modelling the objects in 2D and 3D forms. Then you can showcase your work in Edit Mode, Solid Mode and even you work into paiting the texture and lot of things around. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
When you want to model a character with brushes in free modeling then it becomes complex for beginner to use those tools, however it will take time to learn but there should be some way around to make it simple a bit. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Blender requires little study to learn the basics. And if you try hard enough you can learn to use it really well because it's very intuitive. Plus there are tons of tutorials online. PLUS IT'S FREE! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
If you don't use it continuously over time, you easily forget the commands. Or at least that's what happened to me. Also, for more important and heavy work, you need a good computer Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

As a Blender user, I can't help but brag about its pros, and believe me, there are many. First of all, Blender is free and open source, which means it's extremely accessible and easy for anyone who wants to get started without costing them money. One thing I like about Blender is its variety. It's not just an ordinary 3D program, you can do almost anything with it. Blender offers you everything from modeling and sculpting, texturing to animation and video editing.
Another fantastic feature of Blender is its procedural workflow. Image being able to create a 3D object, make changes and yet undo those changes without destroying your object's mesh. It makes a huge difference in maintaing a clean and efficent workflow.
And if you ever get stuck or need help, the Blender community is here and there are lots of resources available, including tutorials, FAQs and support groups. You will never feel alone on your Blender journey. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
As much as I love Blender, and it is fantastic program for learning and working on standalone projects, you should be aware that it is not consodered the industry standart, but it is improving all the time.
Sometimes it can be a bit buggy. It's always good to be prepared for occasional bug.
What I personally don't like are the collision simulations, they behave very unpredictably.
But, I don't have much to complain about Blender, it's a great tool. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
