This Is Why Blender Is Replacing After Effects for Motion Graphics

Robin Ruud makes a killer case for ditching After Effects and going all-in on Blender for motion graphics. With real-world physics, insane stylization options, and that extra organic “oomph,” Blender handles everything from slick titles and VFX to character animation more naturally than AE.
