      I have designed multiple things with it.

      Definitely not perfect, probably would have a difficult time in a commercial setting, but in the past 5 years has gotten a whole lot better!

      It is kind of GIMP right now, I hope it gets to be like Blender as far as user experience.

        Gosh I am currently trying really hard to learn blender but the UI doesn’t feel intuitive to me at all.

        I super appreciate the power of the application and the open endedness but when I add an object and the camera suddenly seems to not show anything and I can’t move the camera, or some other random thing it happens it so damn difficult to determine where the problem is, it is like a synthesizer where most of the really important synthesizer functions are tiny little buttons put in different corners and critical functions are placed inconspiciously amongst fidgety, mostly auxillary functions.

        I loveeee blender as an idea, its just damn there is like… not a very easy way to get my bearings it seems like and I have tackled learning allllll different kinds of software.

        sigh not saying I am a genius or anything, I wish I was so I could get blender down and start focusing on making things
