Considered Both Products	Adobe Verified User Chose Adobe PhotoShop I haven't used any other product(s) similar to PhotoShop. I've been using PhotoShop for the past 18 years and I wouldn't care to start using a new/different software anytime soon. PhotoShop for me has been the end all be all software to use in the graphic industry. Incentivized Helpful?	Open Source Benjamin Gwyn Senior Graphic Designer in Marketing at Nutrition Warehouse (Health, Wellness and Fitness, 201-500 employees) Chose Blender The 3D modelling methods are very different to other 3D software I've used.

Dominic Farrow Graphic Designer in Corporate at Blkmarket (Design, 1-10 employees) Chose Blender Adobe Animate doesn't do half of the things that Blender can. Blender is an all-around better program in the fact that it can 3D model, sculpt, and animate in real-time. Blender is also completely free and has tons of free resources available to everyone. I highly recommend … Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Chose Blender Blender is just as good as Cinema 4D. One huge advantage Blender has is that its free and you don't have to worry about upgrades or license upgrades when wanting to download or purchase the latest version Incentivized Helpful?
