3 Reasons Why Blender is Awesome... And It's Not the Price... 

I learned Maya in school, and hated every minute of it. I only switched to Blender because my student license ran out, and took a break from classes to really try and learn 3D. Blender 2.83 was a godsend, and I am grateful to everything Ton and his team put out!
