    Assetforge creates 3D models by simply snapping existing shapes together. It is extremely easy to use. Blender is a from scratch 3D modeling suite which is extremely dificult to learn. The two products are in no way similar.

    Blender is an Alternative to other complex 3D modelling programs like 3DS Max. Asset Forge uses pre-made 3D objects to create new objects. It is a very simple tool.
