Sketch vs Blender: What are the differences?

On the other hand, Blender is detailed as "*Open Source 3D computer graphics software *". It is the free and open source 3D creation suite. It supports the entirety of the 3D pipeline—modeling, rigging, animation, simulation, rendering, compositing and motion tracking, even video editing and game creation.
