      Blender is not a CAD program. Basically, this means 3D models are more freeform. In CAD, everything is done with measurements.

      Blender is used for 3D artists all around schools. CAD software is used for engineers and such.

      Edit: and Affinity is not used for 3D modelling at all. It’s for images.

        I thought Blender was the standard. I always thought of it as the only instance when the FOSS tool was the standard.

          Every single team I’ve worked in that needed a 3D creation tool has been on Maya. Certainly in the games industry it’s the 99.99% standard.
