Yeah as Grady pointed out, depends on how much money you have. But Blender surely is used widely, sometimes you hear about it, but most of the time you probably don’t. Things are rapidly changing though, you never know if the surge in Blender is going to go up even faster than it already has. But it’s important to remember, these are just tools, the artist wielding them are the ones that make all the difference. The more you use different software’s the more you realize you don’t really need X software to get the task done, that are all tools just like a hammer is a hammer. They have their different advantages here and there, but the quicker you become a software agnostic, the better.
