Well it does matter which software you use if you care about efficiency, speed, performance amongst all.

Are you serious??

which one have better playback is better for animation?

@Red_Paper6495 why?

🤣🤣🤣😂

This is were i least expected to see someone villain origin story🤣😂 sorry you had to go through that, really sucks

Wow! Thank you.

That's awful. I am currently working on a comparison between blender and 3ds max. I'm planning on adding stability as a new category, but I would also like to include your story as part of it. If you have anymore information regarding your experience or that of your colleagues, just leave me a comment. I would love to include where you are now, and possibly other details of what happened.

Support doesn't care about for no one, they just optimize their work prioritizing quota, you're just a number to them. Once you show a noble reason to be blacklisted, they will not hesitate to do so. They all have the belief of "There's plenty of fish in the sea".

does any company nowadays not have a half-assed support system

they are funny

@@VectorDev frfr

Artificial General Intelligence won’t need to use either Blender or Maya to produce work as a human would with these software tools.

@@Kenxstudios I mean no one is stopping it from doing so, if anything it'd be easier to learn from blend files and using blender than placing each single vert by the AI. same thing with AI image generator not using stuff like gimp or krita, open source software, to make the image creation process more authentic and simpler to digest for the AI itself. its just that AI bros are so up their own bum, too egotistical to realize that they're trying to replace people they'll never be able to fully replace, that they cant figure out basic optimizations. not that'll matter anyways.

​ @IPlayKindred My comment was about AGI, not current AI systems. AGI will replace every facet of human capability. I'm a designer so I'm not exactly enthusiastic about this, but it is going to happen and a lot sooner than everyone might think.

Autodesk was killed Maya, when buy it from Alias/Wavefront :// To this time point Maya was realy far front of Blender or 3ds, and similar sws. Only sws like houdiny etc can be compared with Maya

they also get major dedicated support. blender is now starting to offer that with studio release editions

​@@mmmuck Nope. Even the enterprise folks don't get that kinda support as they advertise. I've seen bunch of critical bugs that go unfixed for 5+ years. Few exceptions being companies like WETA that have their own custom MAYA.

@@AyushBakshi that's what I'm saying major productions get hands on support. yes autodesk is the worst for leaving bugs in for years

1/nth of the price of subscription goes to support, 1/nth goes to lawyers & PR, 1/nth goes to marketing(like youtubers) and 1/3-digitth goes to development. Their support is good cause everyone's mostly paying for support. The software is just resting on it's laurels.

Whoooaaaa really?

You are right..... Chat GPT details sometimes go wrong... 😅🤣 I'm sure he is grabbing info using GPT.

I agree. Also, the raytracing is more precise. So that is a point for Maya.

Really? I've found the complete opposite, Maya user for over a decade but moving to Blender I found it way more intuitive and user friendly. Out of curiosity what is it about Maya that you found easier?

@@philmehrart bevels just work how you would expect; retopology is a click away; animation and rigging is a breeze. Uv work comes with very robust tools. Cylinders can be changed after you place them. The only area that I think blender is like 1000 times easier is rendering.

“If it were free I’d use it daily” then get a cracked version.

Yeah, I couldn't agree more. I had already made this comment on another video but I'll repost it here since I think it's relevant. In maya it takes a click of a button to activate the checker map while Blender takes an entire minute. Deleting polys takes mere seconds while Blender asks whether you want to delete faces, verts or edges even though you're in face mode already . It's also a hassle to retopo in Blender without addons. To drag and select faces on your entire mesh in Maya takes one second while in Blender you have to be in wireframe mode. Maya lets you have full control of making an edge loop while you need two functions to create edge loops in Blender. If you want to merge verts in Blender it will create a weird blotch effect and you'll have to reboot the normals or leave the edges as sharp. Meanwhile in Maya, you merge the verts and you're done. While exporting, you have to make sure "selected materials" is checked before exporting otherwise it won't work. Maya doesn't need that. If you're weight painting in Blender and forget to turn on symmetry, you have to go to each vertex group and copy paste. Maya has a mirror weights button. To go to bind pose in Blender, you have to hit "alt+g" and "alt+r" to achieve this while Maya once again has a button for this. Even simply deleting a mesh in Blender with "x" it still asks you if you want to delete when Maya simply just deletes it. Having to enable numerous addons in Blender is also repetitive as well. It's a lot. I like modeling and retopoing in Maya. Blender does a WAY better job with assembling textures on your mesh than Maya and Evee is pretty cool. I also do like animating more in Blender since the interface is a lot prettier than Maya's. Blender's top view and side view functions are amazing and way prettier in Blender than Maya's also. Blender also boots up faster than Maya. The main issue is that Blender doesn't have much. The sculpting results are the same as Zbrush but Zbrush has well over quintuple the tools. Same with the texturing. Blender barely takes up 1g of storage space while the other programs on average take up 4g so you know it's not working with much. Zbrush's navigation sucks but that's the only downside to the software that I can think of. Not to mention Blender can barely take over 500k polys compared to Zbrush that (according to an artist that worked on the dragons from Game of Thrones) can take over 14mil polys. Blender is a Swiss army knife but a Swiss army knife is no use in a sword fight.

​@@Kenxstudios agree

I am unsure, but I think since blender is licensed under the GPL v3, you have to commit private changes to the source (blender itself) upstream if you use them commercially.

Thank you! I really appreciate that

Thank you, I really appreciate that.

​@@hamidzarts that's still a lot when you're squaring up to a free software that can already do pretty much whatever you can

In my studio we use blender for gamedev, ty for the tip tho!

@@wisemysticaltree568 first if you want to work at a big studio you have to have knowledge of maya and maybe zbrush, you have to spent money or maybe go to collage. second when i swtiched to maya from blender i realized Maya have alot of features and alot of them are actually better. Third Maya is made for a studio environment which means it have systems to work colabratly between people. and build extremely heavy projects that won't crush. Maya is used more on big projects, i mean look at your what ever favorite movie its made in maya from marvels to sony, Blender well be able to to the same thing it won't be as efficient as maya

@@wisemysticaltree568 You want 3D package to be free?

If you are going to be an industry pro... you need to know both.

I really hope so. I’d prefer not to hunt down the worldwide web to find a cracked copy of Maya

hahaha what??

you can always 🏴‍☠Maya and make a resume and portfolio from it, and maybe buy a sub once you're hired. It would be a shame you paid subs for years and never get hired. The only winner will be autodesk.

Yeah this is the whole point of maya, at large scale its still easy to use and modifiy hundreds of scene files with one users input, the reference system is its most valuable feature as well as the fact the scene can be read as text, so if a guy has to change the color of a prop thats shared by hundreds of scenes he can just change it in a reference file once and it will update across thousands of scene files, Im not sure even Blender can do this yet without opening everyfile to do a change like this, maybe it can but maya is king with scene file changes across thousands of files with one change.

Thank you for your comment. I didn't get into all of those things because I didn't want this video to be too long. This video is meant to be informational but not the end all be all. The results I drew are from my own personal experience so you're welcome to disagree. Thank you for taking the time to add to the conversation.

@@buda3d2007 I should also add that exporting the AOVS on blender is paiiiinnn...

These videos are hilarious. They’re both amazing. Maya is cheap for indy developers. I prefer Maya but I use both. Sculpting in Maya is useless though.

Some of this isn't quite right. Setting a project in Maya is necessary since it often relies on external files being referenced into the mb or ma file, such as image textures or reference images, or multiple different scenes, and so on, but Blender keeps everything inside itself. In Blender, you go to File > External Data > Automatically Pack Resources and everything is stored inside the blend file as it's loaded in (with the exception of strips pointing to external data in the VSE, for obvious reasons). Same with scenes, all inside the blend file. Blender stores an entire copy of the file inside itself as well, which is arguably Not a Good Thing for certain reasons, but does allow for unnoticed auto saving in the background, as well as 256 undo steps. Maya has no concept of modifiers at all besides smooth preview, which makes modelling very tedious by comparison. Boolean workflow is all but worthless in Maya, as everything is permanent, unlike Blender where booleans can be transformed at will. And changing the origin of an object doesn't require the 3D cursor at all, though that has it's own uses for precision. But you can just hit ctrl > period/full stop or go to the Options menu in the upper right hand corner and tick on Origins in order to access the pivot. You don't need to use shortcuts if you don't want, everything is in the menus and toolbars.

you can now. 🏴‍☠

And You'll not miss anything with 🏴‍☠ You can always make a resume and portfolio with a 🏴‍☠Maya, it would be a shame you paid a sub all those years only for never to be hired.

I'm on vacation this week, but that video should be out within a month.

It's a new video, but in the same format as some of my others.

This is the never ending fairy tale by some basement hobbyists without touch with the industries.

@@hound_of_justice Isn't what Maya if not Autodesk is famous for? making fairytales like Marvel? If Maya replaced an older app / analog, it will also be replaced.

Thank you for your comment. Very good explanation. This fight between blender and maya goes for sometime in my head. I guess blender will always be there, and it's better to learn industry standard tools first.

If you are only wanting to learn blender for that specific use case then you'll save a lot of time as compared to trying to become a full 3d generalist. You'll need basic modeling, texturing, and animation skills so that will take some time to learn. The amount of time it will take to learn very much depends on the level of quality you want to achieve. I would say, and this is just from my experience, that if you spend 5 hours a week, you should be up to a decent level of quality, at least in your specialized area within 3 months. I'm working on some new tutorials that will help you guide you through that whole process.

@@filmstop7828 Thanks a lot. God bless you. Can't wait to see.

Someone said Blender has a paid support(just ask someone in the blender reddit), speaking of paid, that's what you're mostly paying for, the software is just resting on it's laurels. Also, I've been using a 🏴‍☠windows and never once needed support.

This is like asking "how much is the annual salary of a BMW driver?" Employers will want to know how good/experienced a driver you are, not what car do you drive. What tool you use is dependant on a lot of external factors that might have nothing to do with the craft itself, like finances, etc, but if you are really good and your output shows it, they will hire you anyway, knowing that you would adapt your "driving" to whatever tool you have at your disposal. A car is a tool, and a tool is just that, a tool you use to achieve something. How good you are at achieving that something is what will drive the salary, and that might vary greatly from person to person, even when they both use the same tool.

Streat vendors are also illegal but who are pursuing people just trying to put food on the table? college is no different learning to try to put food on the table. These peopel are not trying to buy their 3rd car or something.

What was wrong with blender to make it not good for professionals? Other than most people use maya?

@@MrFrost-xh6rf I can share my own experience. I attempted to transfer a metahuman to Blender, which involved converting 700 facial expressions into blendshapes. While this setup runs smoothly in Maya at 60 fps, in Blender it drops to a sluggish 1 fps. It's pretty impractical-how are you supposed to animate with that? There’s no scripting or anything extra running, just the geometry with blendshapes, and it still doesn't work. Also, the viewport responsiveness is lacking; there's a noticeable delay in response to mouse inputs, and navigation feels awkward. This might not seem like a big deal, but it’s quite frustrating, especially when I'm used to an immediate response. If Blender struggles with basic tasks like handling a high-res character with many blendshapes, I'm skeptical about its capabilities for animation, which often seem overstated. There are tons of plugins created by various developers that don't seem very useful, possibly because there’s no real profit in it. Many plugins try to mimic features that work seamlessly in Maya, but they just don't measure up.

@@Metarig I reckon you are not a good 3d artist. Seems more likely?

@@davidlloyd1526 How did you figure that out?

Aren't you and the veterans just Sunk Cost Fallacy and fear of change? You try to quickly find as much noble honorable reasons why it/they are not up to snuff, rather than trying to find reasons they are up to snuff? Question, if you're replaced by AI, would you still buy subs?

Bro is on to absolutely nothing

Open source doesn't equate to piracy, however it does present a lot of risks. it is accessible to everyone, which means competitors can easily access, copy, and reuse the code to create similar plugins. This can significantly undermine the originality and competitive edge of the software. When competitors can replicate and distribute similar products without the same level of investment in research and development, it diminishes the value of the original work. The time, effort, and resources that went into creating the original software can be bypassed, allowing competitors to quickly produce and market similar solutions. This not only impacts the original developer's ability to monetize their work but also reduces the incentive for innovation and improvement in the industry.

@@Claniel Imagine the prices of 3d programs and pluggins before blender 2.8, even the release of indie license is because of blender 2.8. Also, GitHub which contain even source code of top 500 companies is open-source. Now those who don't want to become part of open-source then they can develop their own separate software like embergen. And I agree that research and development is required to develop something but that should not be so costly that other artists will not be able to purchase it and only corporate players can buy and use it. If you keep reasonable price then people will buy happily.

What do mean by "not fit"? Barnstorm used Blender for Man in the highcastle, multiple studios come with blender on every machine. One of the Captain Marvel movies used Blender for its pre-viz. Blender is certainly present, it just depends on the artist at that point, as they have the option to use it or not.

@@deuswulf6193 Matchmove with blender takes ages to finish a shot, there are no matchmove tools for blender we have do it manually but there are lots of matchmove tools for maya and without using those tools it's easy to matchmove in maya. Blender has inbuilt tracker and that's good and Maya has only external mmsolver plugin

Ai is a useful and powerful tool, but when working in professional video creation, it's really not viable.
