Blender Render
I’m now sold on using blender for a long time. I have many reasons now, including the following:
- subdivision surfaces
- ambient occlusion
- subsurface scattering
- toon shading
- fur
- cloth
- it’s totally free
The only complaint many people have is the interface. After going through a brief number of tutorials, I’m used to the interface and am sold on how it works. Everybody really did something right.

I downloaded blender at work to mess around in my downtime. I’ve watched one 20 minute video tutorial and I’m already comfortable with the interface. I took a 3D class with Maya at it’s core so really, it’s just a quick adjustment from that.
In fact, the fully customizable interface should be a winner over Maya… plus, you can’t beat that price tag!

Indeed. That price tag is priceless!
