SFM is certainly a 3d art program that exists...
SFM is a program I have a love/hate relationship with. I love it since it's what got me started in 3d art, I always loved creating art, but hated drawing, that's when SFM came in and made it incredibly accessible to me. I would not be here in my art journey without SFM, as such I own that program enternal gratitude
With that being said WOW this program is bad, I never really realized that until I made the switch from SFM about about a whole year ago in march 2025 to blender, and now looking back at SFM yea it has a lot of problems!
There are so many features that is just straight up missing or is incredibly difficult to pull off. A big example of this is lighting, you want to light up a void in SFM you have to spawn in a bunch of lights, and also have to make sure that it doesn't crash the program.
In blender just use a hdri and you're done, hell sometimes you don't need an HDRI and can just use 1 sun light and light up an entire scene.
There is one thing that SFM has over blender though which is it accessibility, It's incredibly easy to use, and can really help with people like me who like creating art, but don't like the main way of doing so which is drawing.
Also is a good segway into learning about 3d as I feel some skills you learn from SFM like Lighting, can easily be transferred to blender.
Yea not sure what else to add, just me rambling about SFM and Blender.
