Thanks so much!!!! :)

What about 3Ds max

it's great that you recommended FlippedNormals, those guys are great, they taught me everything I know about Zbrush.

AAAAH!!!!, In future it might be the alternative to Adobe Illustrator When it comes to sketch with grease pencil

Downloading Blender 2.0 right now! :D I always use Blender for Architectural constructions for fun, but now Im gonna try rendering some animations as well with these improved 3D graphics and the controls becoming a little more easier to handle! :D

it was configurable all this time

you could always do that lol just change the settings

Its configurable, but changing the default left click option signals that the developer(s) are finally willing to think about UX instead of just ignoring people.

Same, even though it was configurable before, it wasn’t the same. I went to school for animation, learned maya, and blender seemed like a whole other species. I’m excited now :)

Yes and not only free of cost. Owned by it's users.

All the more reason to support them for their good work with $. They actually earned it for all they've done for talented people who couldn't foot the bill for such a program before blender existed.

I know right. They deserve an award or something

I like how they progressed but honestly I'm kinda lost rn because I moved on to Maya and now when UI is changed I can't get used to it. I must though 'cause Maya educational version won't get me anywhere. Houdini is also a promising piece of software, paid yes, but gives a lot more features as a paid program than both Maya and 3ds Max for a lot lot less money.

I'll have to relearn this think, but Im ok with that. My understanding is the workflow is still fluid with the keyboard so were good to go

someone should follow suit in music

It is actually.

open source is the best

It's the IBM fallacy: "Who would want a _personal_ computer? Mainframes are for big business." Fundamentally, they misjudged the potential quantity and thus the marginal cost of their product, making it completely inaccessible to most people and creating demand for an alternative. Whoops.

To have access to V-ray and/or Corona. Also, to access lots of assets available mostly for Max. I use Blender 2.80 and it's great, but Cycles still has a long way to go. I'd love to have an option of using Corona with 2.80, even if it costs money. Yes, I know about a version that kinda works with 2.79, but it's experimental and the workflow isn't much fun.

OH MY AARONGROOVES REPLIED! I'm shaking right now...

sorry I got a little over-excited there 😅😅 I would go to the livestream if i can! and thanks for checking out my channel!

Lets not get carried away, there are things other software has and does, that blender doesn't,or does't do as easily, I know as I've been using MeshMixer for 2 yrs and its incredible, so is blender2.8 as we've see while is incredible. Mudbox also does tons more things blender can only dream of right now. can't speak to maya or 3ds max, as so few can afford those,,we'llsee over time if they have a 'free' version ;o_0

blender can never reach maya's level for just few reasons one of them is accessing data like DG & DAG nodes..etc,maya's dependency graph is one of the most robust and powerful on the market while blender is the weakest .. just this reason will keep studios using maya no matter how many new features blender adds not only that blender devs are against exposing these to users or providing a C/C++ API to expand on it, so if u use blender and run into dependencies quickly u have no choice but to use what comes out of the box or bang your head that's why blender is not widely spread, maybe nice to use for basic tasks like modeling,layout..etc but further in the pipeline you'll suffer, it's a nice tool for small teams but not for big production with a large team, that's where maya excels.

@The Vader that is Darth bad analogy, unless blender devs are willing to dig deep into blender guts and do a whole re-write of it's core systems, it's unlikely to happen but will take them many many years and i know for sure they are not willing to change that because people like me have been asking them for years but they are even against exposing some dependency graph functionalities because they are afraid of instability at the cost of more power, which people who don't have time to waste won't wait for :)

This is a huge improvement too what blender used too be, I use maya and have used max too both paid but you can get student versions for free... learning isn't a problem, maya is really powerful and I doubt a free software would ever get too the level auto desk have got it too... it's one step in the right direction though. Another thing, industry standard is too use things maya, max.. you won't be in Naughty dog using blender lol.. freelance possibly or certain indi companies possible too..

@The Vader that is Darth and like i said " unless blender devs are willing to dig deep into blender guts and do a whole re-write of it's core systems, it's unlikely to happen" you have to understand this well to get my point....... blender is not even at the level of commercial softwares, people keep brining epic, ubisoft and tanget examples..etc and yet they don't know facts that it's not the whole ubisoft that using it but a new small departement who makes tV shows which are thiniking to use blender instead of their costly in-house software, epic gave a grant through their mega grant system nothing mentioned about using blender and the only valid example is tangent studio which they used other softwares like zbrush, substance, after affects,nukes..etc not just blender and struggled like hell to make it, my point is blender is not ready yet for heavy production something like what ILM,Weta,Disney,LucasFilm...etc are doing huge production scenes with complex shots, heavy sims, rigs and files. blender was built for small production in mind and still lack even basic tools for studios to use it properly also it's GPL prevents it from working well with other softwares or 3rd party plugins...maya was built for this exact reason and not only that Studios also built their pipelines around it and they are contributing directly to it's developement so i doubt blender will ever replace it in big studios maybe indie ones but autodesk is making the move with indie license and talking to studios to improve their tools...etc u can dream all you want about it but reality is reality even after many years from now.

the amount of effort put in this software alone is way bigger than the whole autodesk have ever put on 3ds, it is unbelievable that blender is actually free.

last time i used blender seriously was on 2.5 >_

I think I had 2.71 before *never going back*

A better place.

Yes, besides losing the game engine, the radical change of the UI is a very questionable, in my view unwise, move. Blender is such a complex program to use that you really need those KZfaq tutorials. But with the 2.8 UI most of these are suddenly useless! This and the missing game engine in 2.8 make me (and many others) choose to continue using 2.7x.

@@muhdiversity7409 - I've spent my entire Sunday today learning Blender, and trust me, I was the same as you (re not taking to it previously), but what I've learned today my friend, is that we've become too used to AD launching new version numbers with next to no difference. 2.80 is almost like a new version with a very MUCH improved interface, compared to 2.79. In just one day, I'm now totally comfortable with Blender (whereas before I was just like you, I couldn't take to it). Heck, I don't even think I'm going to bother buying an alternative render engine (eg VRay) - I'll just stick with Envee. It's all FRIGGING fast man and complete !

I think I'm leaving my Maya comfort as well... Yikes!

*My* reaction: snap install blender

sudo pacman -S blender

Lmao 😂😂

Maya is the worst. At least, as a modelling program (it's fine for animation). I know five 3d packages (SoftImage, 3DS Max, Maya, Modo, and Blender). I've used each of them for a minimum of two years, and Maya is without doubt the slowest and most cumbersome package to model in. I hated it. Maybe if it is the only thing you've ever used you might think it is fantastic, but it is horrible. 3DS Max is the best package for sophisticated modelling tools, but Blender I find the fastest to use because of how much I can do with its well designed shortcut keys.

@@graemevaughey7432 I find max horrible to poly modeling, Blender feels so fluid and smooth to me I can't model on other softwares anymore lol

@@henrique-3d I'd agree with that. All the Autodesk packages are very mouse and menu driven (Maya being the worst with sub-menus inside sub-menus), so until you learn exactly where every option is you spend ages searching around for what you want, while Blender is very keyboard driven and intuitive. Max is a little cumbersome, agreed, but the individual tools which it has are very powerful, and i like the non-permanent modifier stack.

@@graemevaughey7432 I haven't tried those other ones yet, but I'm currently using Maya and I'm not a huge fan either. But I do have to say Maya is way better to model in then Cinema 4D lol.

Yes I was a Max user 1998-2006 and changed to Maya in 2006 ... I tried Blender 1.xx and later 2.1 .... I always wondered why is this software not use any of the basic industry standard on UI. This is why any pro left this software after a try. Now time to check again and hope this time I can dive into this beauty.

If you're new and starting out, you don't need to jump into a tutorial with all the new features, you need basic tutorials on modeling, lighting, etc. However, I agree, the interface has changed enough some beginners may get confused. New tutorials will be coming out in time.

@@JedioftheRose 2.8 is very much released. Very recently (like two or three days or so since release)

He said “future blender 2.8 tutorials” Andrew knows that it’s different, but it’s also not THAT different. Maybe he recommended it because he’s showing off this fantastic software, and he knows that people wanna jump in, but he hasn’t updated his beginner stuff. Maybe a slight disclaimer like this woulda been nice though. If you run into an issue, like how do use collections(the new layer feature), google is really helpful. It’s nice in a basic tutorial, but in the future when people are on their own, they gotta google ANYWAY to do what you want. Until he updates(seems like he may) then if people wanna taste the software, it just takes a LITTLE more work to see where the tools have moved(they haven’t moved too far from their original places!)

Let alone Epic.

@@ZenoDovahkiin Well, I'm not personally a fan of epic but people don't know how much has epic been investing in things like this, these money came from a $100 mil budget which is meant for anyone (you don't even neccessarily need to use their product in some cases) making games or anything around it. Before that they had a smaller one but again any indie and well anyone could put together a proposal and ask for some little financing and there was a chance to get it - with the $100 chances are quite reasonable I think. They also have a basically open source unreal engine which is quite something too. Now whether it can also be used as a marketing move or not is someting I think quite alright - like no company is going to give so much many away just for nothing. But yeah they make a lot of other decision a lot of people are not happy about no doubt about it xD. Well I learnt about this because of getting into game dev so I didn't know before too - and I'm kinda hoping they will renew this into a new project again ;).

I’m trying to do all three as well, blender is the last thing on my list.

Heard they are trying to make "indie" versions of Maya and 3DMax for hobbies/students and young artists, I go to check them and I'm greeted with "this version isn't avaliable in your region"! Thanks a lot Autodesk for reaffirming that my choice to use Blender was the correct one.

You are totally correct. Autodesk is a behemoth and the artist tools aren’t even their main focus 🤣. The overhead just for marketing alone could be “insane.” Duncan used to do these awesome tutorials back in the day, and when you see him later on, after the Autodesk buyout, it seems his morale, at least on his face, seems to wane. I know SideFX picked up some devs from XSI when Autodesk killed that awesome package. I honestly like seeing the competition from Blender here, but it will still get money from Studios that have pipelines built on their software. 😀

@@KevBinge RIP XSI

They won't be worried one bit. Because big studios will continue using their products. Big studios will never use blender as they've been using Autodesk softwares especially when they invested years and millions of dollars on R&D departments to develop their own tools for 3ds Max and Maya.

Blender 2.83 (which is still on alpha) rewrote the whole Grease Pencil engine, making it about 200% better regarding performance. At 2.82, part of the grease pencil mechanism relied on 2.7x tech, and so, as of 2.83, at least according to the developers, it is not the case anymore.
