- Texture painting, UV mapping and keyframe animation in the same app as the modelling
- Runs in a browser as well as on Windows, macOS and Linux
- Plugin system for extra formats and tools
|
- Context menus keep the interface small while exposing a deep tool set
- Good at organic subdivision modelling with straightforward UV mapping
|
- Built for low-poly work; it is not a general 3D modeller
- Sculpting, physics and rendering are out of scope
All 4 limitations for Blockbench- Built for low-poly work; it is not a general 3D modeller
- Sculpting, physics and rendering are out of scope
- Minecraft format support tracks a moving target and occasionally lags an update
- Electron, so it is a heavier download than the models it produces
|
- Modelling only: no animation, rigging or built-in renderer
- Development is slow and the interface is unconventional
