the slow viewport when dealing with many objects (Blender is far ahead in this regard

lol, not on my computer.

@Herbert123

ot to mention the superior Eevee viewport quality and performance

lol, not on my last computer.

@Herbert123

living off that grass, you would probably have a very different view.

I’m currently living off of wind sandwiches and water pies. If I had money I’d have C4D for the things it does well and easily that I’ve never seen anything remotely close to in Blender tutorials.

@Herbert123

and the many parts that have been allowed to languish for a long time.

The same can be said of many things in Blender.

its surface may shine attractively

This is extremely shiney to me! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PH-tfcInXbs

@Herbert123

The text tool in C4D is something I would like to see in Blender as well.

If I had the money I’d buy C4D just for the caps and bevels feature.

@Herbert123

They’re actually quite powerful and easy to use

As soon as I start editing the mesh the duplicates start facing undesired directions with no way to control them. Geometry nodes point instance is much easier to use.

Collection Instances seem a bit laborious

Is there anything else you should know about collection instances?

I’ve seen a few youtube videos recently claiming to show all you need to know about collection instances. They leave out a lot of useful information. The first thing you should know is that a single object can exist in multiple collections. I haven’t seen a tutorial mention that since around the release day of 2.80. Something plaguing tutorials lately is they don’t demonstrate multiple objects in a collection being used as a collection instance. I’m still seeing many comments asking about this…
