Excerpt: This page compares computer-aided design (CAD) software that engineers and architects use to create drawings for the fields of architecture, engineering and construction (AEC) in terms of those aspects which can be directly compared. It does not judge power, ease of use, or other user-experience aspects. CAD refers to a specific type of drawing and modeling software application that: For all-purpose 3D programs, see Comparison of 3D computer graphics software. This comparison only includes software which has achieved notability on wikipedia It does not include software not out of beta development or software which has not been updated in the last two years. Blender is a free open source 3D graphics application, available under the GNU General Public License for the Linux, Mac OS X, FreeBSD, OpenBSD and Microsoft Windows operating systems. Blender's features include 3D modeling, UV unwrapping, texturing, rigging, water and smoke simulations, skinning, animating, rendering, particle and other simulations, video editing software, compositing, and the ability to create interactive 3D ap...
