Blender for Mac lets you create 3D animations, graphics, and even games with intuitive controls and a clear layout that makes all tools accessible. No matter what type of animation or modeling project you have in mind, this program will give you the means to achieve it.

Pros

Good support: To help you learn your way around this app, there is a thorough Wiki Manual that you can access quickly through the Help tab. You'll also find a very supportive community of users through the developer's website that can provide guidance and answers to your questions if you encounter problems along the way.

Nice interface: The layout is clear, with a toolbar that you can drag and drop to place it wherever you need. That keeps the tools you need within easy reach at all times.

Cons

Learning curve: Even with all of the support in place, it will take some time and effort to really learn what this program can do. Even experienced users will have to invest some effort, but the payoff is worth it.

Bottom Line

Blender for Mac provides all of the functionality you'd want in a 3D graphics program, all through a smooth and intuitive interface. It's completely free to download and use. While it may take some time to master all that this program can do, it will be time well spent in the end.
