Blender has proven to be an extremely fast and versatile design instrument. The software has a personal touch, offering a unique approach to the world of Three Dimensions. Use it to create TV commercials, to make technical visualizations, business graphics, to do some morphing, or design user interfaces. You can easy build and manage complex environments. The renderer is versatile and extremely fast. All basic animation principles (curves & keys) are well implemented.

    Reviewing 2.49 RC2 (May 12, 2009)

    I was reading through all the below reviews and it seems to me that most of the reviewers are people not familiar with any 3D designer tool. Complaining about the interface is (to say at least)... superficial. It is not more complicated than others, just different and trust me it is quite ergonomic one you spend some time learning it. Same goes for 3D Max, and all the other competitors.
    The issue with this program is not the interface (I could say that is a plus, but is just a matter of preferences after all) but what this gem is able to do:

    This is not PBrush... if you're able understand more than 3 of the below comparison criteria, you are ready to properly review this program, otherwise please refrain from it:

    Please also review bamby1983's review somewhere below for some strong points in reviewing this program; for me it is a 5 star worth.

    Yes the UI is kind of suck. Sometimes brilliant coders are not good at creating user interfaces that make sense to users that didn't write the code. (Yes I dabble in the world of UI theory.)

    However, people interested in using this product, just spend an afternoon/evening at YouTube and watch the tons of 'instructional' videos people have put together that will help make sense of things.

    Also for what this is, it is quite powerful.
