Some of the top Blender work stands up against pieces done in Maya or any other application. Personally, I think that the Blender demo reels look amazing.

I’ll let you check out the most recent Blender demo reels and decide for yourself.

I like to think of Blender like a Swiss Army Knife of 3D-it does most things ( modeling/sculpting, rigging, animation, rendering, compositing, and game creation ) relatively well, but it doesn’t specialize in any one thing.īecause Blender is an open-source, jack of all trades application, doubters assume you can’t produce anything that looks professional. You can think of Blender like an open-source version of Maya. With our Unity and Maya courses introducing you all to game development, I thought this might be a nice time to mention Blender. I’m talking about the open-source 3D modeling, animation, visual effects, and gaming software. I’m not talking about that type of blender, and I hope you won’t leave with a bitter taste in your mouth.

No, this is not a post about kale shakes.
