oh man. lightwave and 3ds max for me

• blooalien 2y ago
  Loved Lightwave 3D back in it's Commodore Amiga / Babylon 5 heyday. Also Cinema4D, and Imagine3D. Switched to Windows for a while (for gaming purposes), and the 3D software landscape oddly enough just wasn't great for "hobbyist" level folks, so I kinda put that on the "back-burner" for a while. By the time I got back into 3D again, I was heavily hooked on Linux (the most "Amiga-like" OS I'd yet found on PC), so skipped 3DS Max entirely and went straight for the (at that time) recently open-sourced Blender 3D. The learning curve on it was horrific but once actually over that bit, the software itself is crazy powerful and easier to actually use than one might at first imagine it could be. For me, the last little push over that initial learning curve was Blender Guru (Andrew Price) on YouTube. His beginner tutorials are pretty much the best (at least they were for me). Nowadays Blender is pretty much my first and only "go-to" tool for everything 3D that I find myself in need of (except Godot, for "game-enginey" realtime related bits, but Blender's involved there also, for modeling, ofc). TLDR; Wall of Text: Blender 3D is awesome! (Godot + Blender = Even Better.)
