Blender vs. Womply

Blender is an excellent tool for everything from simple to complex 3D animations, the creation of 3D images, etc. It performs excellently in all of these areas. In the realm of 3D modelling, animation and rendering, there is very little that Blender is not suited for.

It is best suited if you want to try and achieve more reviews of your business. It is also good if you do not want to take time responding to reviews. By the same token, it is less appropriate when auto-response is turned on. If there is a negative review, it is better to address it in person, as there may be a specific customer service issue that a computer response is not going to understand.

• Creating complex polygonal geometries is very easy in Blender.
• Edit Mode and Sculpt Mode helps in creating non uniform surfaces for objects like rocks, surfaces, terrains etc.
• Blender can use various external plugins to make it work in more smoother way. For example to import any 3d object one can use sketchfab plugin and easily import the free assets from web after logging in.
• Blender has a better rendering engine known as Cycles, it is far more better than any other stock rendering engine which can generate realistic lightning, shadows and reflections.
• The animations can easily be generated with blender animation toolbar and also it incorporate any other animations made in any other software.
• The bone generation and its behavior of animations can be achieved easily in blender.

• Invites credit card users to leave a review.
• Alerts me when a review has been made.
• It can also provide an automated response on the rated website.

• It's really a hard question, but it could be: a game engine. Older versions used to have it; I would use it to simulate machines game-like.
• I'm struggling to find another one; maybe the fact that it is so powerful and has so many features that learning it can be daunting; better documentation WITH examples and/or a map of Blender capabilities would help to know where you are in terms of knowledge and the planning the roadmap to where you want to go.
• Precision modeling. Coming from CAD and using Blender as part of my design workflow, I'd love to be able to model inside Blender as I model with CAD tools. At this moment, it's simply impossible.

• The automated responses to ratings are a too mechanical in response.
• There is not a lot of direct follow up with me as a user.
• It would be helpful if a person at Womply would put together a monthly review and opportunities that we might be missing out on.

We've only used the consumer (non-pro) version of SketchUp, which we love, but is very limited in features and output capabilities compared to Blender. While Blender's learning curve is MUCH steeper than SketchUp, it feels like truly complete, professional design software.

• As it is a beginner-friendly software with increasing demand in the animation sector again, it positively impacts the business.
• Except in some specific cases, no one will use Blender on their own at a professional level.
• When I was a beginner, it took me a lot of time to learn, consequently designing the creation. But if we want to learn to master Blender, we can do it. As long as we have time and a lot of willpower, since, we repeat, it is not a simple program and hides thousands of tools and possibilities.

• There are no hard numbers but we do average 3-4 reviews per week when it used to be 1 or 2 a month.
• More ratings, especially positive, helps reflect on our business model and are good for us to see how we are really doing with customers.
