Blender - is there any easier to use alternative for simple content?

…you can buy Modo indie 10 for 299 USD(no need for subscription, assuming the price doesn’t go up), Modo 10 is more suited for game development:

Modo is pretty easy to used compare to blender(I totally understand how you feel about it’s UX/UI).

Thanks for the info, I’ll definitely try out modo.

I’ll just add to what DEFNIQUE said about Houdini (and I’m way more biased )
if you’re a software developer that might give you an advantage over many people looking into Houdini for the first time - I DO NOT mean that you need to be a programmer to use Houdini - rather that the low level access Houdini provides might click with your programming experience, and get you over that first hurdle of learning that some people experience with Houdini…

the Apprentice version is free and the Indie version is only $199/yr…

Yeah, makes sense that it might just click easier with the way I think. Definitely worth a try. Thanks.

Thanks for all the great help from everyone I didn’t quote as well. For now, I’ll do some simple tutorials on Modo and Houdini and then evaluate if they seemed to make more sense (and be more enjoyable to use). If it’s much of the same, I’ll just stick with Blender and hope that it gets better, but I feel very optimistic based on everyone’s comments.
