You don't even have to install blender in order to use it. Just
download and try it out.

*IF* softimage does something like artisan or sculpting I hope they
make a damn good feature of it. Otherwise they can just leave it out.
And if you need to do serious stuff you can always use Zbrush or
Mudbox. They are both cheap programs that out performes the rest. And
apparently Modo now also has sculpting, but I haven't tried it.
