I've used Anim8or, and 3D Movie Maker. both very simple compared to Blender.

I feel the opposite with blender. The main thing blender struggles with is really good and proper snapping functionality that can detect circles/tangents/midpoints. But other than that I love blender

I've used solid edge. It was fun but was really hard to make things organic. It was an engineer's 3D modeling program

i only used Blender and its huge but installation file size is very small

The mega collaboration continues!

Our 3D backhoe model is taking shape. Progressing past the initial block out stages, we're starting to finalize the hard-surface pieces of the machine. In part 3, I'd like to cover the creation of hydraulic lines and the advanced shrinkwrap technique for cutting construction lines on smooth shapes. Though given that I'm predicting this a month away, these topics are subject to change.

It's not too late to join the project.

This complex model is a collaborative effort between instructor and Citizen members. The idea is to build this crazy thing together! If you're interested in contributing, please jump over to the Forum Thread to learn more!
