  • Context menus keep the interface small while exposing a deep tool set
  • Good at organic subdivision modelling with straightforward UV mapping
  • Dedicated project formats for Minecraft Java and Bedrock with format-specific features
  • Texture painting, UV mapping and keyframe animation in the same app as the modelling
All 4 strengths
  • Dedicated project formats for Minecraft Java and Bedrock with format-specific features
  • 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
  • Modelling only: no animation, rigging or built-in renderer
  • Development is slow and the interface is unconventional
  • Built for low-poly work; it is not a general 3D modeller
  • Sculpting, physics and rendering are out of scope
