Blender is a software suite for 3D creation. It's the sort of tool that you would use to create computer-generated movies, visual effects, assets for 3D games, architectural visualizations, and a whole lot more. It's been on my radar for a long time. It started out as a simple, but pretty capable piece of software. It has now matured to the point where it is rivaling the top commercial tools used by companies like Pixar and Dreamworks.

My interest in Blender is, primarily, for experimenting with various designs. It's more of an artists tool than the sort of 3D modelling tools that you would use to create finished geometries of manufacturable parts and assemblies. Software like Fusion360, Onshape, and Solidworks fills that niche. For playing around with the design of a car body or a visualization of an architectural project, Blender is a much better tool.

I've dipped my toes into 3D modelling a few times. I'm pretty facile with Fusion360 and can create simple parts. I'm hoping that experience helps out here.
