Last but not least Blender is by far not as resources-hungry like Autodesk and co.For Blender extensive documentation is available in the web - I do not have to buy expensive books.Furthermore I am working together with students an they cannot affort expensive software either. Blender is free software, so I can install it on several computers (work, home) without having trouble with expensive professional software packages I can't affort.First of all Blender is a fantastic tool producing very impressive output.I would like to work with Blender in the end for a couple of reasons: Since a couple of months I am working on illustrations for work where a large scale accelerator complex is being build. I started with 2D Autocad drawings in the early 1990ties, use enthusiastically POV-Ray and discovered Blender as my main working horse about 5 years ago. I work since years with 3D modeling, rendering and visualization programs as a hobbyist and in my working environment without being a professional 3D artist. Some examples of illustrations created from CATIA-models post-processed with Blender can be found in another post in my blog: " Creating Technical Illustration Using Blender" ![]()
