In my experience, it's not easy as After Effects. Though for simple VFX, motion or animation is doable.

For me best alternative to AE is Blender.

Yeah this is the way. Blender has a higher learning curve than AE but it’s ultimately much better at actual 3d than AE is, and the recent improvements to the interface have made it a lot more usable.
