The software is also frequently updated with new stuff, keeping up with the industry needs and standards. > > **Cons**: Though it is a positive, the amount of stuff it covers can be overwhelming for new users and it takes some time to wrap your head around where everything is - but once you know, it because a valuable tool. > > I love Blender, I mostly use it for hard surface modelling and UV unwrapping - which has always worked so well for me. It took me a while to understand it all and I still have my moments of confusion, but the software is worth every bit of effort. ----- ### "Industry Standard 3D and 2D animation software, game development and much more" — 5.0/5 > **David** | *13 January 2026* | Media Production | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: I love Blender for so many reasons. It's available for free, though contributing to this amazing project is a good idea. > > **Cons**: This isn't really a criticism, but some still view it as not being an industry standard application, although recent feature movies and other things have thankfully proved that wrong. > > I have about 6 years of experience using Blender, since version 2.78. The advances made in that time are incredible. ----- ### "Fantastic, fun piece of software" — 5.0/5 > **Steven** | *21 March 2025* | Information Technology & Services | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: Free and lots of good Youtube tutorial videos to flow and get familiar with creating work in it. > > **Cons**: Not sure if it was the software or limitations with my PC, but even with an 4GB dedicated Nvidia graphics card, it was a little slow at times once adding layering to the 3D models. > > Very good - easy to use, even for a beginner getting to grips with the software. ----- ### "Blender best 3D Free Software" — 5.0/5 > **Samuel** | *21 June 2024* | Internet | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: Free to use Ease of setup Programmable with Python Large community, support, tutorials and plugins > > **Cons**: The learning curve is steep.

Able to create any object according to the concept in mind and client specification. ----- ### "The most versatile tool out there" — 5.0/5 > **Verified Reviewer** | *15 June 2024* | Marketing & Advertising | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10 > > **Pros**: I like how many different aspects of Blender can be explored, 3D rendering, 2D with some work around, video and audio editing, and more > > **Cons**: Not very beginners friendly, especially when dealing with shadders and external plugins > > Great tool regardless of your usage, very versatile, easy to export assets and get ready to use content for game development, animations and more ----- Page: 1 / 39\ Next: [Next page](https://www.capterra.co.uk/software/167519/blender?page=2) ## Links - [View on Capterra](https://www.capterra.co.uk/software/167519/blender) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | de | | | de-AT | | | de-CH | | | en | | | en-AE | | | en-AU | | | en-CA | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-IL | | | en-IN | | | en-NZ | | | en-SG | | | en-ZA | | | es | | | es-AR | | | es-CL | | | es-CO | | | es-CR | | | es-DO | | | es-EC | | | es-MX | | | es-PA | | | es-PE | | | fr | | | fr-BE | | | fr-CA | | | fr-LU | | | it | | | ja | | | nl | | | nl-BE | | | pt | | | pt-PT | | ----- ## Structured Data
