Context menus keep the interface small while exposing a deep tool set Good at organic subdivision modelling with straightforward UV mapping
The node-and-sphere approach suits organic low-poly shapes and is a poor fit for precise hard-surface or engineering… Full limitations for Dust3D The node-and-sphere approach suits organic low-poly shapes and is a poor fit for precise hard-surface or engineering work.	Modelling only: no animation, rigging or built-in renderer Development is slow and the interface is unconventional
