Reviews
- Extremely easy to use and understand, making it beginner-friendly while still being suitable for experienced modellers.
- Great for quickly creating organic shapes, with support for importing and exporting in OBJ format for compatibility with other 3D tools.
- Lightweight and undemanding on hardware, allowing it to run on older systems and laptops.
- Lacks key rebind options, with default keybinds being counterintuitive compared to other popular 3D programs.
- Less suitable for mechanical shapes, which may limit its use for certain types of modelling.
- Limited video tutorials available, making it harder for beginners to find guidance beyond the basics.

The gameplay is noted to be less suitable for mechanical shapes, although SVG import functionality offers some assistance; however, it is unlikely that most modellers will utilize this tool for such designs.

Users express concerns about the stability of the software, particularly with the ongoing development of version 4.1, which may overwhelm casual users. Issues such as crashes, unsaved progress loss, and complications with exporting files between versions contribute to a perception of instability, making it challenging to navigate the software effectively.
“I have been recommending this software everywhere, but the long and ongoing development for version 4.1 from EA concerns me. Casual users may struggle with managing both 4.1 and the previous version, especially when they have to learn the limits and glitches of both programs. Exporting files back and forth can lead to losing unsaved progress due to crashes, especially when using tools or functions that still need patches. Additionally, copy/paste mirrored objects must be formatted correctly before execution, which can result in unexpected issues.”
“The stability issues in this software are frustrating. Frequent crashes and glitches make it difficult to trust the program for important projects. It's disheartening to lose progress due to these ongoing problems.”
“I find the current state of stability unacceptable. The software crashes often, and the bugs make it nearly impossible to work efficiently. It's disappointing to see such a lack of focus on stability in the development process.”
