Can I just point out how awesome SideFX houdini is!?
It allows you to create (procedurally generate) 3D models using a method that is half coding and half 3D modeling. Kind of the way I'd want blender to work, but 10 times better.

Is it free?

Houdini is great yeah, there's talk of adding the everything-nodes approach to Blender too, because Houdini really makes it possible to do some absolutely crazy shit.

Aside: I've actually met Mark Elendt, one of the people behind Houdini and a really nice dude.

@Gregozor2121 There is a free/student/hobby license, which allows you to use the program in almost its full capacity, but you get a houdini watermark in your renders (and in the interface there is a "non-commercial version" watermark on some of the backgrounds).
I think they want you to start paying for it once you start using it professionally :)

@TempestasLudi fair enough

It seems to be the thing I was looking for. Thx for the info.

However, it does need shitload of resources (had I think 32 core(?) Mac with 65GB of RAM running hot) and it'll break your bank as soon as you need more than the free version.

But it is a state of the art suite that basically all professional CGI artists use as far as I know. Also has a basically vertical learning curve

@gathurian Learning is a bit hard, but after some trial and error, and using https://youtu.be/R-Z3WnRrp7o, I finally had a good enough understanding of subnetworks and other things to be able to do interesting stuff ^^
