I just got blender after having last looked at it ten years ago. It looks so much better! I had an easy time finding stuff. If you tried it in the past and are afraid of how ugly it was it is worth another shot. Also look up the doughnut tutorial.

Oh it's free so it lacks features
If you don't count professional software, nowadays it's actually the opposite. Very often in proprietary software there are features removed with no alternative provided by developers, or there's one but actually it has nothing to do with what you actually want.

It’s a jack of all trades for sure, but it also has features paid software doesn’t, like it’s 2d animation system with Grease Pencil. There are also paid extensions on BlenderMarket and the like that make it more competitive with more specialized features in other software. Extensions are GPL licensed, so I’m happy to pay for them as opposed to the rest of the toxic CG ecosystem where everything is subscription-only.
Edit:
I wish all paid software were GPL. It’s nice buying something and being able to look at and change the code, write code that calls their code, or even snag a bit of it for to use in your own thing.

I'd like to make it like that for my projects, but I don't use windows so I can't do well with packaging them. And sometimes when I try it runs in the computer, but then doesn't run in other computers because of missing dlls or some other things.
Anyone have good idea how to make it easy. Using windows VM is such a hassle to install and such just for tiny programs I make.

Me running Godot on a new computer yesterday
On a somewhat related note, why do so many open source projects give me a zip file with a single exe inside it instead of just the exe directly?
