But it’s free, and it works, so you get a lot more than what you pay for. is arguably the worst across all 3D animation programs, by no small margin. The UI for working with Armatures, Pose, Animation, etc. And you need to learn a metric ton of hotkeys. You often can’t do simple things in the expected way, like drag in the explorer to select a bunch of items, or Ctrl-click to select a part, and then another part, and have everything in between get selected like you’d expect.

Blender’s UI is pretty unpleasant, as anyone who has used it knows. What Blender has going for it over C4D and Maya is its price, and the ease of which a technical person (programmer) can extend its functionality with relatively straightforward python scripts.

Its interface, stability, modeling and especially UV mapping tools are superior to Blender’s. Thanks for reading! Hope I answered your question and also provided you with a chuckle! Just for a bit of fun, I implore you to watch the Blender created movie Agent 327, you’re going to love the production value.Īnd for some additional giggles, I also recommend you watch the alternate ending. Albeit C4D is great if you wish to develop for an Indie company or any company that needs modeling talent, it’s good to have on your portfolio. It is chock full of tools and widgets that even 10+ year users of Blender are still figuring out, which can be quite daunting however. So if you’re going to work in the game industry, blender is kinda looked down upon (even though it has the capacity to do amazing things).īlender is free, easy to access and is incredibly powerful.

C4D is considered the industry standard, held on the same pedestal as Maya or 3Ds MAX.

C4D cost money to outright own, while blender is open source.It doesn’t matter, they’re just like two ways of doing the exact same thing in the end, just with different methods.
