Not Pro doesn't have the same solid object functions, which is exactly the sort of thing I care about. I've downloaded the 2016 Pro trial, but I'm afraid to use software that becomes unusable in case I still need to use it.

<p dir="ltr">Blender has a ton of tools including sculpting, animation and simulation for fluids and solids. It also works with popular game engines I'd you're interested in that. Cycles renderer(the most advanced renderer packaged in the software) gets extremely realistic renders for skin, architectural visualization and other materials. </p>
<p dir="ltr">Maya is free with a student ID but can't be used for commercial endeavours. It is a production ready package used by Hollywood. Pixar and the studio that does Harry Potter used it and improved the software. </p>
