  • I agree with everything except relegating Blender to organics and decorative designs. Blender is absolutely viable for hard surface /mechanical modeling. Even without the parametric addons. The Boolean modifiers are much more reliable than they used to be and all the tools for manipulating objects makes the whole design process very fast. Everything I make these days is almost entirely non-destructive, which means edits are painless as well.

    There are of course limitations such as compound fillets being very difficult to execute cleanly if not downright imposible in some cases.

    Have you tried the parametric addons? I can’t imagine they work all that well but I haven’t looked into them in the past 5 or so years.


  • You don’t need a powerful computer for blender unless you’re doing rendering or sculping or working with really high poly models. Especially when compared to proper CAD packages. I do a lot of design work in blender and my computer is so unstressed by it I can hear the CPU chirping when I rotate the viewport.

    It’s worth learning the basics of a parametric CAD but blender will do virtually everything faster and give you greater freedom and control over the exact geometry it outputs.

    If it makes you feel any better there tons of video essays tearing the series apart. It’s not particularly genius, very little if any of what she did was original and from the very beginning it was chocked full of racism, antisemitism, fatphobia and ablelism.

    Also that’s an insult to colonoscopies, as they’re important and save lives.
