Blender community vs 3D modeling showcase room

r/blender’s public description is a home for the Blender community — free/open-source 3D modeling, animation and rendering. r/3Dmodeling describes a place to show off 3D models, artworks and designs.

In our directory the two are similar in size (about 1.5M each; ranks #727 and #711). Activity samples show blender posting much more often (~188 posts/day vs ~38). blender’s sample mixes video, galleries, images and text with original-content showcase, need-help and critique flairs; 3Dmodeling’s sample is gallery-heavy with art showcase, questions/discussion and critique flairs.

Rule titles: blender requires images created in Blender, bans memes and tutorial-piece dumps, and wants evidence for photoreal claims; 3Dmodeling requires 3D-modeling relevance, on-topic comments, NSFW marking for mature themes, and bans advertising and commission requests.

  • Choose r/blender for Blender-made work and Blender help under its Blender-only image rules.
  • Choose r/3Dmodeling to showcase or discuss 3D work across tools under its no-ads and no-commissions rules.
  • Both sit outside the current Top 100 cut; tool choice is the main fork, not “3D vs not 3D.”

Where this comparison comes from

Public descriptions and member counts from SubMouse’s safe-for-work directory. Short rule titles and activity samples SubMouse collected. Short titles only.

Members and public descriptions come from SubMouse's safe-for-work directory (as of 2026-11-02 UTC); 7-day growth measured from 2026-10-26. Posts/day and post-type mixes appear when we have an activity sample. Rule lines are short titles, not the full sidebar. Directory rank is listing order — communities outside the current Top 100 open in the info tool instead of a full community page.
