Overall Satisfaction with Blender

When creating educational content, powerpoint slides are fine, but having animation is much better. I became aware of Blender from a friend who works in the animation department for a major movie producer. The fact it was free and would deal with my less-than-beautiful artistry were both plusses. We use it to create short films to demonstrate various job tasks.
  • enables a fairly non-skilled person to make good animated content.
  • Fabulous support group to get questions answered.
  • can’t beat free!
  • Since I’ve never used other animation software, I don’t have anything to compare it to. I’ve been pleased with it as it does everything I need.
  • Ease of use
  • Free!
  • Fast optimization for our users
  • It was free - so all the ROI is positive.
  • We don’t have to sub-contract content anymore
  • I simply enjoy using it. Much software is aggravating, this isn’t.
Did not look at any others. This was recommended by an industry friend and has served our needs well.

Blender works on both MAC and PCs have a far shorter learning curve than I expected (especially since this was the first time I was using any kind of animation software and am NOT a trained artist), and the tutorials do an excellent job of explaining and demonstrating the various aspects of the software. It works very well for creating educational content, which is what we use it for. I don’t think I’d make a 2-hour move with it, but I don’t see why that couldn’t be done if you wanted to.
