And whether that's software, or 3D, or designs, or building teams or companies-I want to make stuff. That's my passion. And the money is a means. And sometimes you need it to do something big, so you have to work, make money, and then you can do something with it.

16 years ago, I opened up Blender. It came on a free software CD with a computer magazine my dad bought. I din't understand english that well and found it really hard to understand how the interface worked. I was 14 years old and thought that 3D models was the coolest thing ever. I stuck with it... I remember when ray-tracing got introduced. Glossy reflections and refractions was added to the internal renderer. Today, I work as a developer/3d-artist and use Blender almost every day. I have worked as a full time 3d-artist with Maya for a while too, but I never really liked it. It's wierd listening to this crazy Dutch guy who doesn't have a clue about my existence, knowing that his actions defined my life in a great way. Hey, if I hadn't start learning 3D with Blender, I wouldn't have met my wife at the graphics education I took. I wouldn't have my two kids with her either. So... Thank you Ton!

The olny bad thing in the momment is, that the newer versions of blender require newer OpenGL / DirectX; maybe there could be an option to run and use the program, but the "special" options would be disabled.

I remember opening Blender for the first time ~5 years ago, clicking on the interface and realising it was right-click to select = uninstalled immediately. It just felt like everything was going to be an obstacle. Such a small change and it made it feel so much more welcoming. Your doughnut tutorial did most of the rest. Blender is a godsend. Even using the 'educational' versions of software that I have access to as a teacher I feel like they could pull it from me at any time and I'll end up paying for something. With Blender I have faith that it's a skill worth learning as I'll always have access to it. So glad to see it going from strength to strength.

Fact is, if you are true artist, money never interests you! It's the obsession of art. Mad respect to Ton.

If Blender did one thing - it made me discover that I'm not the most uncreative person on earth. I can't paint/draw for shit, my old paintings/drawings from school look like a blind monkey had painted/drawn them - so every art teacher "encouraged" me to stop trying because I supposedly haven't got any talent. Then, many years later (in fact, only last year), I learned about the existence of Blender and started tinkering with it. And to my surprise I found out that I'm in fact not the most uncreative guy on earth - I watched many tutorials and tried stuff out, and by now I have even created entire rooms with furniture and all kind of stuff in it , etc.! And this even got me started in making games! So - thanks Blender (and Blender Guru for that matter :D) for enriching my life a bit. 😎

The deeper I dive in Blender, the more amazed I am. Being used to using the most expensive software out there, I didn’t pay much attention to something that comes for free, distrusting its functionality. I now see how wrong I was.

Andrew, from a programmer's perspective, making Blender is way more complicated than Polligon,. I can't imagine how many papers Roosendaal and his team had to read through in order to implement all those algorithms. This guy is an absolute beast.

Ton has so many good points in this video. I just finished your donut tutorial and I've long wanted to try to do ANYTHING in 3d but everything I've been trying to do I've just failed miserable at. I really like this guy's mentalilty that "as long as it works and works correctly that's what's important. For me there are tons of functions I don't understand in Blender but because of your videos I am getting it to work, making it look like I want it to and having FUN. And because of the developer I will probably keep using it for years to come. LOVE IT!

I'm only just getting into blender, but my appreciation for this guy is insane. Thank you, thank you, THANK you for this amazing software.

man since cycles x all the features have been BREATHTAKING! even before they were amazing! this software has such a bright future and i cant wait to see it grow

Blender is one of the few pieces of software that is truly worth its weight in gold. The improvements made over the years have made Blender into such a great piece of software. I still can’t believe it’s free but I’m so grateful that it is, otherwise I might have never started 3D modelling and animation.

I'm watching this in 2021. after Blender is in V2.91 Awesome interview, just to bad I didn't see it sooner. I really like Ton's philosophy on it all.

i came onboard with blender in 04-05, coming back into the fold after quite a few years in absentia. many thanks to capt roosendaal, the corporation, the foundation, the institute, and the community.

I have so much respect for Ton. Such a good person and I like what he said about money just being a means to accomplish something. Really insightful and interesting person and one of my heroes.

This man is the embodiment of everything that is good about the humanity, what a beautiful human being! :)

well.... afaics it looks like it is on it's way. I refer to a friend of mine, a freelanced 3D Artist for decades. He started with autodesk 3d studio (later max), got his fingers in softimage, maya and so many other 3D-Stuff. Nowadays he more or less is working with Blender only and said to me one day, quote: "You know, honestly, it is the first time everything is just fine. No fiddeling face-tesselation issues, lousy plugins and so on. Everything is there and it is working just so great.. like never before in my carrer".

I have to be completely honest, but I have watched this interview at least once a week for the past few years now. This is like watching an interview with a James Bond Villain, and I absolutely love it.

"The real satisfaction is in making something!" This is great

I love this man. I love blender. This guy is literally a wonderful human being. This is a true artist supporting all of us other artists.

I got over 20 years experience with 3D software. Most of those years I spent in 3dsmax, last few years I moved to C4D and couple days ago I got into Blender 2.93.3. My mind is blown how awesome this software is. The interface is amazing, fluid, clean. Shortcuts are well thought out. Unlike 3dsmax, Blender starts in seconds instead of minutes regardless of the size of the scene file. I'm learning at least one, awesome new feature everyday (very often from Andrew :) and enjoy the smooth ride. I think Blender is the future of creative 3d expression, people just need to give it a chance once to get hooked. Thank you Ton for not giving up !!!

As a hobbyist 3D artist, I don't have to buy an expensive software package, and there are tons of good tutorials on the net, thanks to Ton. He is an awesome guy, and has my respect.

I am really impressed. There is really a lot to learn from this man. Huge inspiration. He has the mindset of wealthy Dutch person that just have enough and want to share it with others. This is perfect example how to successfully make it but not lose who you are, when enough is really enough.

Every now and then the world is blessed with visionaries. This man is one of them. This man knows where it is. He could have made an absolute fortune but by world standards he has a modest net worth. So many people owe their careers and more to this man's vision and human spirit and the countless others who took his baby and created it into what it is today. Money isn't everything. It won't bring lifelong happiness. Achievement will. Well done and thank you to everyone involved in this journey.

"I met a guy in a bar" and the rest is history! :D This guy is a living legend. Thank you so much for giving us Blender!

Thank you so much for giving us a truly incredible piece of software, Ton Roosendaal. To me, Blender and Linux are the top open-source programs on the planet at this date, in terms of quality and effort and usefulness. You have truly created something rare that you have every single reason be proud of! I have to personally thank you not only for making it possible for me to get into 3D rendering at all, but giving me my only current means of making money and surviving: Neither would have happened if Blender didn't exist, as I wouldn't have been interested getting into proprietary modeling software (especially after moving to Linux). I know I may be seen the black sheep while saying this, considering what I create with Blender is not to the liking of some people to put it lightly. If folks can set the theme of my works aside however, I hope this is as much of a sincere and valuable feedback as any other. Cheers!

Love this. Never knew who this is. This video is essentially a free 105 minute mentorship by a thoughtful talented person. Thank you Ton. I don't know you, but you are a great inspiration.

Thank you a thousand times over for coming back to the left-click-as-default issue over and over again. When a designer doesn't follow a standard convention, the standard convention of course seems arbitrary. However its statistically supported. I tried picking up blender 3 times. In the most recent attempt I've had success. I understand now that this is entirely because I started this attempt after 2.8 when the interface was overhauled.

Last year I went to the blender HQ and asked Ton if he would show me around, he was really nice and took the time off and answered all of my questions and showed me all the nice things they had in the beautiful Amsterdam office. Truly a great person :)

Ton, je bent officieel een held van mij. Heb de software in no time onder de knie.. open source is de toekomst! Mijn eeuwige dank.

This man is one of the reasons why I still have faith in humanity. Here's my short "ok let's switch to blender" story. I'm an industrial designer, 3d designer and in love with the job I picked, which is being a creative director for festivals and events, when covid hit our industry halted, I had to drop subs of expensive softwares (here be middle finger for autodesk), I could have tried my luck in games industry but from my previous experiences, I found it restrictive, had no fun, so I didn't. when everything else failed, blender saved me. (besides blender, unreal engine and the virtual events tech, and the interactive archviz presentations I created with it was also fun! nice one epic!) for that, I'm grateful and looking forward to contribute to the community someday.

I used Blender 8 years ago and get tutorial from Blogspot, and start again at 2021, wow in new version its really professional and still free until now... Thank you so much for developer, I'm from indonesia

Dude, when I first thought about getting into 3D modelling, I was immediately discouraged, because I figured: "Oh programs like that cost a fortune in yearly fees." I typed in "free 3D software" in google and boom: blender 3D. If there was a top 10 list for MVPest mf alive, this guy would be on it.

Really inspiring story!!!

The GPL is such an important part of the story, same with for Linux and Git. The GPL acts as a value accumulator. You can't close off the code like you can with BSD licences. Sure, you contribute code to Blender, you can't then close off your code, and it feels like you gave something away. But you've contributed value to the project. The added value retains users and gets more users, some of who might contribute to Blender (which can't be closed off), and accumulating even more value. You are paid back with value, because you get new functionality that you didn't have to spend time/effort/money on.

Everyone involved in Blender are some of the most innovative heroic people on the planet. Keep setting the standard.

This has got to be the most genuine man I've ever seen. When you can say money doesn't interest you and mean it, that's something that shouldn't be ignored. Blender has been free for many years and will continue to be, thanks to this man :)

i’m very grateful for this man, when i’m struggling what to do after graduate from my college, so i started learned 3d modeling from youtube using blender now i build my passion on it.

I never write public comments but couldn't help it since it looks like I just hit spot on 1,084,000th view and 8 & 4 are my most favorite numbers (yes I have thing with numbers). Started learning Blender a couple years ago (w/ the donuts on this channel), lately being really serious about learning it, and hope to be able to do great things with it. The capitalistic society puts so much emphasis on the portrayal of who make it to be billionaires as heroes, but to me what you've done for the society is true heroism, Mr. Roosendaal. Now, Blender touches the lives of millions like myself, and I get to learn from awesome gurus like Blender Guru. The two titans.

What a fascinating and inspiring guy! When I first started using Blender years ago, it was kind of a bit different from the other 3d tools I was used to. I remember being kind of frustrated at first, but I stuck with it. Then, it seemed to really come together around 2.5 or so. What's really telling is that Pixar is officially supporting an AddOn for Blender--so it has been embraced. Obviously, they're not the only ones to jump on. But, I gotta say, it's so cool that Ton is still thrilled with this tool he created back in the 1990's.

Jesus, this is how an interview is made! Such an awesome and wonderful human being! I'll be forever gratefull Mr. Rosendaal

ALL of us should say "THANK YOU" to this man

Thank you Ton. I introduced Blender to my young sons - and truth be told, the whole system, the Blender communities, everything are awesome! Loved you especially your vision and generosity.
