Good to see ya'll back 🤙🏿

I agree and disagree on your take on AI in blender. The part I agree with is the use of ai for tools to help creators make art themselves. However, AI should NOT be used to generate actual images of art. It is a slap in the face to artist who put actual effort into their work. Like imagine an artist taking hours, days, months, just to finish one piece of art or animation. Meanwhile, another artist uses midjourney or other ai software to generate an image in minutes. That just is not fair

I think the thing to keep in mind is that you'll always have gatekeepers. People don't like hearing you're using a free software when they've invested money in a software. You can do just about anything the other softwares do, but you have to be open to another workflow. And yes, that workflow may not be the best for bigger production environments. But, you can still achieve the same thing. You also have a huge community to for support. Which allows for anyone to jump in and create whatever their imagination can pump out. There are also a lot of production houses that use blender in their pipelines already from what I've seen.

I think Blender is not the best but really good

I think blender is a great way for beginners wanting to get into 3D. I felt a little lost when I first started out but with enough time I was able to understand the navigation and workflow. I still have quite a ways to go but it’s really fun. Expanding your skills should always be encouraged, especially if you’re curious about something. Blender can be a great base to start and there’s a lot of info out there, you just have to look.

seen your video in my feed and had to responde. i come from a C4D background and over the years c4d just couldn't get it right, very unstable and crashed alot even on my new motherboard just wasn't stable and i used Blender off and on over the years and it never clicked until last year for some reason, i guess i got fed up with C4D and told myself i'm learning blender and its just clicked, im like wow after all this time thinking it was complicated, i watched a few tutorials and that was my take off, i've never looked back. I use Eevee for previewing the work (low res) and final render is with cycles to get that realism, yes its longer to export but in the world of animation its expected to get the best quality and plus it frees up my time to be with family, do things i need to do while its exporting for a few days in png, lol gotta use png kids always touching the computer and if they turn it off will go back to the last png file and right back where it left off. Been there done that exporting an mpeg video and baby girl cut my computer off lol a few days wasted so now all is exported in png for that meason. overall, love blender so easy to learn least now it is for me.

you should do a video about blender fund and how to keep blender alive.

I'm a pro and I used Maya from 1998 to late 2019. I tried Blender 2.8X back then and I haven't looked back. I just use Maya occasionally now and it feels so old and dated. Sort of like 3ds Max reminds me of AutoCad. Yikes. Blender ❤

The jack of all but master of none is a flawed take because Blender is IMO Blender is the best modeling DDC compared to Maya, max, C4D etc ( for polygonal modeling to be specific). Especially if you add those addons like hardops and box cutter which are actually being used in a lot of pro game studios for asset modeling like CD project red, Sony santa monica etc.

I love blender since it was introduced, but some odd reason I never liked the interface. I like C4D interface much better, and i am a seasoned C4D person.., I think AI should be given a chance in coming to the industry of content creation but we should also know our limitations on when and where to use it..,

My reply to all those comments would be "Sounds like a skill issue"

i think blender was the quickest I’ve learned how to use a program
