The price is right on Blender and it has improved a lot over the years. I've been trying to learn it better now that most of my other software is discontinued and or too expensive to update. I used to be really into it with client work in 3D graphics and other programming jobs. Alas, crypto has made me lazy but 3D graphics and software development work much better if you can leave it as a hobby imho, lol.

Indeed! Just like Gimp I am always happy to learn and use free open source stuff. You can sure spend a lot of hours on there! I enjoy it and it gives me a better appreciation of the work it takes to put together a huge animation!
