Blender

   Blender (also Blunder) is a greatly [1]complex "[2]open-source" 3D
   modeling and [3]rendering [4]software -- one of the most powerful and
   "feature-rich" ones, even compared to [5]proprietary competition -- used
   not only by the [6]FOSS community, but also the industry (commercial
   [7]games, movies etc.), which is an impressive achievement in itself,
   however Blender is also a [8]capitalist software suffering from many
   not-so-nice features such as [9]bloat, [10]update culture, [11]hardware
   discrimination and centralized control.

   After version 2.76 Blender started REQUIRING [12]OpenGL 2.1 due to its
   "[13]modern" [14]EEVEE renderer, deprecating old machines and giving a
   huge fuck you to all users with incompatible hardware (for example the
   users of [15]RYF laptops). This new version also stopped working with the
   [16]free [17]Nouveau driver, forcing the users to use NVidia's proprietary
   drivers. Blender of course doesn't at all care about this. { I've been
   forced to use the extremely low FPS [18]software GL version of Blender
   after 2.8. ~drummyfish }

   Are there good alternatives to Blender? Some programs to check out are
   [19]wings3d (seems like the best candidate), [20]k3d, [21]meshlab and
   [22]mm3d (looks like bloat), also for some things possibly [23]FreeCAD.
   Remember you can also make models manually :-) Formats like obj can be
   hand-written.
