Only in the last year have I gotten more serious about game development and re-learning everything in Blender has been a drag. even after having used it off and on for 10-ish years. It's just too often that I find myself saying 'wtf?' when using Blender. Not to mention all the little things specifically to 3d work that I can't recall off the top of my head but always come up as I'm trying to get something done. You make changes and quit the app and it doesn't prompt you to save (now fixed in settings, although is it even the default option?).When you create a new 'thing' in your project (animation, material, etc) and you save your file it gets deleted because it's not currently assigned to something.it's all just opinion.Īnyhow, in my life I have never seen a program (besides Blender) that: Modeling might actually be better in Blender.īlender since 2.5 has been amazingly intuitive Mostly, rigging and animation feel a lot easier to me in Maya. By far the majority of things feel more intuitive and better for me, personally. Lately I've been using the free student version of Maya and, while it's not perfect and I like a few things better about Blender. At the end of the day I feel handicapped in Blender. The whole data block system fries my brain and overall. You can change this, and I have, but then some other hotkeys etc break. First and foremost is right click to select. Personally I find many small things about Blender to be unintuitive to me. If you learn Blender and get used to the 'Blender way' and do good work with it. It just may not do it in a way that is elegant. What I mean is that Blender can technically accomplish everything the other apps can. It has everything you NEED but not everything you WANT. This is mostly true.īlender is free and can do anything and everything you need to make an animation or a game. Most people are going to tell you that the tool doesn't matter as long as you put in the time and dedication to learn it.
