Get it while it’s hot! New goodies to use and an improved UI for users.
Depends on what your goals are. Despite my inability to grasp Blender, it’s a great piece of software for those organic and artistic designs. And to be fair, it can do a bit of CAD work with an add-on. But it soon hits a limit for that kind of work.
But not everyone can “see” the different type of workflow and end results that each type of software is good at. I certainly cannot see that Blender doughnut well enough to make it. Even with my hand being held in the video tutorials. But I can take that same doughnut and turn it into a torque converter for an automatic transmission. Go figure…
Still, I keep trying to make that Blender doughnut despite my lack of success so far. And I encourage you to keep trying to make something with CAD. Don’t give up. We’re going to win someday!
I do some STL editing for 3D prints in blender, which I don’t see myself changing, but I also design some cases, organizers, token holders etc for boardgames, for which it sounds like CAD would be a better fit. And yeah, as I said i did try it before but hit a wall and went with blender which I was more familiar with. Did the job alright, but perhaps was not the optimal way. I’ll give it another spin with a different focus now.
