Blender is that cute kid in class that keeps shouting “Im gonna be an astronaut!” and every teacher just wants that kid to achieve they dreams ❤

no other software has such strong and supportive community as blender

BLENDER 2.8 was the SMARTEST MOVE made by the Blender Foundation. Before 2.8, I had little to no interest in using Blender... but they finally decided to LISTEN to the criticism and make the change. Well done indeed.

Me too! I saw Blender 2.79 and it seemed so ancient and unintuitive. It was so hard to navigate (Partly because I had little to no idea of what I was doing), but 2.8 was beyond incredible to use. It was the version I started with, and their UI overhaul and general improvements to their workflow is what gave me the reason to start in 3D. I love Blender and the community ❤

Before 2.8 it was a nightmare. Coming from Maya that specialized using smooth mesh preview aka subdiv, blender using ctrl+1 is very smart move though I don't remember how I do it in blender 2.6xx. One aother thing I wish the symmetry is enhanced to Maya level, using coordinate system world, object and point based - dunno if bender already has this if it's exist please lmk.

I've been supporting Blender for over a decade like many others in the community. I think it's great to see these leading tech companies contributing towards the betterment of Blender, it's amazing to see the Blender community growing, I am excited for the future of Blender, the community and the creative pipelines.

After blender 2.9 I haven't touched an autodest product and i've been working as a game artist for over 15 years. There was a clueless viewer on the Zbrush stream saying Blender is for hobbyists. Most people are just to lazy to learn Blender and are missing out on one the best 3d packages that has ever been created. I'm using blender and unreal 5 every day now.

It’s free and it makes images without killing your wallet. Maya is great but I’m broke so Blender.

Nice video!

We like Blender because it is helping us succeed for free. Autodesk products are meant for high budgets and low neuron counts. Besides there are more integrations and lots of learning material. And like UE (also free), programming in python gives great versatility.

In many of your videos on why the industry does not use blender, you say it because blender has no software support. Then today you say one of the main reasons these companies donate to blender is the transparent nature and better software support of open source. Do you personally think open sourse support is worse or better?

@MaheerKibria

This guy just is talking out of his ass as usual. The thing is that support is usually done in house. These guys have their own engineers and developers and support staff. Always had. Watch some of the blender con presentations from actual industry people and you will see that support has never been their concern. The things they talk about are lack of certain features or lack of adherence to industry standards that blender has been actually moving towards fixing since they started getting industry funding and then off the record if you actually talk to these guys is legal. The GPL license while nice is not compatible with all other licenses causing them to have to do work arounds or make their own in house integrations. I was talking with some SideFX engineers at a meet and greet and they were like we would love to have a plugin for blender but the GPL license has created legal issues. And these guys use a lot of software. It's never just one.

@MaheerKibria This makes a lot more sense. I've heard quite a few of my veteran colleagues talk about features in max or maya saying that's been broken or works weird for years and they wrote autodesk and never heard back. Blender is far from perfect but I really wish I could hear genuine practical criticism about it, real comparisons. Most complaints I hear boil down to, "it's weird, I just don't like it and It's not industry standard.", which is fine but not that helpful.

​@@MaheerKibriaI don't see how the GPL license could create problems, since it does not disallow proprietary modifications built upon the software when using its API. It does only disallow proprietary modifications of the software itself. This shouldn't be a problem either since the license only requires the people using the software to get the source code, which in the industry would just mean that employees of the company would have (readonly) access to it.

@MaheerKibria

@@0xfadead Blender's GPL license means add-ons need their license to be GPL compatible. This means Houdini, Substance, etc do not have add-ons because their licenses would conflict. This means that in a world where you use 10-20 different softwares blender cannot talk to all of them which means moving between softwares is inconvenient. So the question is do you hire more engineers to build and maintain integration or do you just pay for Maya. Most of the time Maya is cheaper.

coz its the road to have a cheaper in workforce and software availability that are free for legalities and lawsuits

It's becoz of python. Everybody can do it since it's not venomous like viper sidewinder or blackmumba. Kids these days already learn coding in kindergarten unlike me who just flipping girls skirt until high school.

who wouldve thought people likes to support public services than private ones.

why? thats because Blender is Honorable, helped the startup, beginners with free software compare to the greedy others.

TBH, I'm worried that those huge corps are helping Blender. For those companies, nothing I free and things can change at any second.

blender just like other software's need money to grow and success they are a lot of cool features about this software but when it comes to exporting fbx/obj files it suck ladyboy booty hole , specially when exporting animation the bones don't export properly or they just don't at all I have tried different version of blender but it didn't work but what I have found was interesting there was a paid addon called better fbx import/export which even that doesn't fix the bones exporting issue

I would use everything else in Blender besides rendering with it.

@luciox2919 I use daz 3D studio software to render because it is a better render system software due it has iray Nvidia built-in to it. Most blenders users use daz render only because it's realistic render with iray and denoiser. They set up their scene in blender, then bridge it into daz and turn on iray Nvidia and render their scene. I wish Blender had iray Nvidia built in it with Denoiser. Honestly, I wish all these animation software had iray. The render would be looking like Krispy chicken. Metaphorically speaking. Smooth and crystal clear, no noise. Realistic looking animation. There's another software called onavore . It also has iray built-in it but I have never tried it yet.
