4 Real-Time Engines

The rise of real-time rendering engines has revolutionized the way visual effects are created. A particular real-time engine has gained popularity for its ability to provide immediate feedback, allowing artists to adjust and refine their work on the fly. This software is not just for gaming; it's increasingly used in movie production for its speed and the high level of realism it can achieve.

5 Hybrid Solutions

Some 3D modeling programs offer a hybrid approach, combining the strengths of different software types. These solutions provide a seamless workflow, allowing artists to switch between tasks such as sculpting, texturing, and animating without leaving the platform. They cater to artists who want an all-in-one package that can handle various aspects of visual effects production efficiently.

That's what Blender is all about: a one-stop solution for everything (or at least almost everything). On its own, Blender may seem to fall behind the bigger players. However, once you explore the add-ons, it can become one of the most advanced software tools you'll ever find. Not to mention, the community is very strong. Nowadays, you'll find more Blender tutorials on YouTube than for any other software combined.
