Great for making quick objects fast

The best thing about this program it that you can use any file format (3ds or obj) to create your models. You don't have to send them through another modeling software so they are ready sooner than if I had used Blender/Cineware etc. Another benefit would be how easy it was once i finally figured out all my shortcuts like CMD+1 2-up, CTRL + W delete whole layers ect., now just select everything then press shift 1 so when deleted nothing remains there but one layer will remain with what's…

Pros
  • Very user friendly interface for beginners who want something simple yet challenging enough! Easy access key commands in menu bar instead using hotkeys which makes learning much easier especially after already being familiarized by other programs such CINEMA 4d / VRAY rendering engine where we were accustomed too pressing certain keys multiple time before getting results desired while working within those softwares; also making navigation quicker compared
Cons
  • Will fit

Works great, especially when trying out new features

I have used this software to create models for my game engine. It has helped me get through some modeling jobs that would normally be very complicated. The UI can sometimes seem clunky but after using it for awhile you will get use to how everything works. There are many tutorials available online as well so if you need help with any specific feature there's always someone willing to lend a hand. If you're looking to model something simple or just getting your feet wet then this may not be the

Pros
  • Lots Of community support both locally (from local user groups) & globally via various forums/forums etc.
Cons
  • Nothing really comes readily top mind at present
