Blender UI used to be awful, but nowadays it's better than the competition IMO (especially Maya)

- solarkraft 4y agoThe Blender story is quite an impressive one of iterative development. Ton Rosensaal very explicitly doesn't want technology for its own sake and wants to "get it out of the door", but does it all while keeping an eye on it being usable for creatives (now more than before, but the ground work was laid long ago, see everything being animatable) Great interview with Blender Guru: https://youtu.be/qJEWOTZnFeg https://youtu.be/qJEWOTZnFeg
- archerx 4y agoI see Blender as the GIMP of 3D, I've used many different 3D programs and blender just sucks all the fun out because I feel like I'm fighting with the UI instead of doing what I want to do. People keep saying the UI is better but every time I download the latest version it makes me appreciate 3DS max very much. If I was to go back to making indie games or indie music videos I would rather pay autodesk $50 a month for a hobby/indie license than get grey hairs from using Blender. I would love to not give that money to autodesk and use blender instead but the UI pain threshold is still too high for me to bypass. I really hope progress continues and maybe in 5 years things will actually be better.
