Overall, the optimization of the program is generally praised for its good performance across various systems, particularly for beginners and industry standards. However, some users report issues with resource consumption and stability, especially on lower-end hardware, indicating that while the update includes internal optimizations, it may not be fully optimized for all configurations.
“Simple but nice interface, intuitive commands and shortcuts, good performance (by the way, I tested it on 4 different computers with different configurations and it ran well on each one).”
“Good program for beginners and industry standards, also used in digital tutors as one of the best easy and fast modeling programs out there. The UI is clean and solid, and the performance is great.”
“However, it's not as optimized, so it eats quite a lot of your resources, and might not run as good on your computer as on anyone else's. I practically couldn't use it because it kept crashing, but I have a crappy laptop.”
“Much of this update is internal code optimization to pave the way for future updates.”
“Note: this update focuses mostly on silo for Linux (our most-requested update), plus small bug fixes and internal optimizations that should benefit all users.”

Character development in Antony Ward's series, particularly in the context of low poly game design, showcases a focus on creating distinct and engaging characters through simplified yet effective visual styles. Users appreciate the innovative approach to character design that balances aesthetic appeal with functional gameplay elements.
“Antony Ward has a series focused on low poly game character development, showcasing innovative techniques and creative designs.”
“The character development feels shallow and lacks depth, making it hard to connect with the protagonists.”
“I was disappointed by the lack of meaningful choices that impact character growth throughout the game.”
“The characters seem one-dimensional, and their arcs don't evolve in a way that feels satisfying or engaging.”
