Why did Autodesk introduce indie versions of Max and Maya just around the time when Blender 2.8 was released and became super popular? Is Autodesk afraid that Blender might take its market share in creative fields? Let's discuss it in today's video!

Indie animation studio owner here - We switched from Maya to Blender in 2021. We've saved thousands, and our creativity has gone through the roof. It was easy for us because there was only 2-4 people who had to retrain, and we didn't have massive ongoing productions built on Maya foundations to worry about. Switching is hard and expensive, especially if you've already got everyone and every project all set up in Maya - that is what prevents most studios from taking the prospect of switching seriously. Currently, most of the larger studios test Blender on smaller in-house projects or for segments of larger productions. If the Blender Community can overcome a couple of fundamental weaknesses, I think the software will gradually become a staple of our industry.

Switching can take effort, but in my Experience, it is always worth it. I switched to Linux 15 years ago and have not regretted it, I have saved probably 100k dollars in costs for licenses just in servers alone and opensource can be managed much better, it gives you unparalleled control and transparency. Blender is the same and anybody that is not switching has that choice and will pay the hefty price tag for it, some people don't know what vendor lock-in means and how it is a very bad idea to willingly enter it.

I am also the owner of a studio (with 17 employees). We made the switch to Blender in 2012 and haven't looked back since. Customization is a crucial aspect of open-source software in a professional workflow. Within our team, we employ a full-time programmer who develops custom tools and scripts for our creative team. The costs of licenses are negligible compared to the significant gains in productivity and efficiency we experience by creating tools tailored to our specific project or task needs. Additionally, our creative team is happier because they can easily automate mundane tasks and unleash more creativity using unique custom tools. As Ton says, "A closed-source software does what it wants; an open-source software does what YOU want." This is a key point if you want to be creative and not do what anyone does.

I think blender has made a huge positive impact in the 3D industry. I went to college and learned maya from 1998-2002. Its an amazing tool. I dont work in the 3D industry but i do still play around in 3D with blender. Blender is super impressive and can definitely hold its own in the 3D market. Im not sure it can replace maya, houdini, cinema4d and zbrush in their respective industries but it can definitely be the main software for indie studios. I love Blender.

And it is not just free, but also FREEDOM, which you have more than in any other software: Blender is a refuge from the stupid vendor lock-in tactics by Autodesk that hurt you as an user. Maya / 3DsMax for example purposefully change their file format so that older version can't interoperate with newer ones, so you can't just stop your subscription, you have to keep paying, because otherwise you can't work together with others that have an newer version. That is a pretty dirty tactic for which there is no technical reason (Blender does change the format rarely and only when absolutely necessary for new features)

Obviously when AMD give funds they want work done to make AMD GPUs run better on Cycles and Eevee, which benefits all Blender users current and potential with AMD hardware. Given Blender basically had nVidia support giftwrapped with OptiX combined with the dev teams preference for nVidia GPUs it's obviously more essential for some companies to give conditions than others.

It does not matter what users in their homes use. Professional studios (like movie industry) will always stick with the best. What people don´t understand is that the price of a license in Maya is nothing for a movie studio. 2000 dollars on a 80 million budget is literally nothing. They don´t even think about it. They pay more in coffee for all the departments than for the Maya licenses.

I am not in the industry, so I don’t really know what I’m talking about, but the way I see it Autodesk is worried blender might be a problem in the future. Like you said the price doesn’t matter, but if the next generation of artists only knows blender because that’s what they learned when they were just making shorts at home. They might pressure their employers to let them use blender. Right now this isn’t a huge deal because the majority of artists learned maya first, but what will be the case 10 years from now if Autodesk doesn’t try to compete with blender over hobbyists?

@@buzzy4227 the reality tho is that Autodesk offers a free license for students which are then if they go to a art school or getting any degree or program going to a institution that uses...you guess it Autodesk products. Its a loop and InspirationTuts actually mentioned it in his previous video. So its actually not true that the next generation of artists only knows Blender and is only exposed to it. Also even for non-students there are indie licenses for 3ds Max and Maya since 2021 so they are much more affordable than before. Autodesk isnt going anywhere.
@brotherhoodofsteel98 9 ай бұрын
@@buzzy4227 I agree with this to an extent. Having an open-source product that is continuously being improved might become even more competitive in the next coming years. Maybe not now since Autodesk has been dominating the industry for quite some time as the best product there is. The thing is, Blender is will catch up. Blender is already embraced by a lot of Indie studios and hobbyists alike, which may be the reason why Autodesk introduced a cheaper option for Indie developers to be competitive with Blender in the Indie dev scene. To be honest, I do think Blender will still need a lot of improvement to do since it is definitely a jack-of-all-trades master of none software. What I do have to say though is that Blender might be the de-facto choice for indie game developers for the years to come.

Blender is not a problem for Autodesk but as you mentioned it might have influenced Autodesk in their decisions. Indie licenses for Maya and 3DS Max was a blessing for us who are solo artists and dont want or cant afford nearly 400€/month licenses for the Autodesk Entertainment bundle. And dont forget all the add-ons for Maya and Max, they can be VERY expensive so the cost would not stop at nearly 400€/month (let alone other softwares on top of that), it would we eventually way beyond that. With indie, it gives me a lot of more room to build my software pipeline and put in other softwares like Zbrush and Marvelous Designer while being able to get both Maya and 3ds Max and even include those top tier add-ons like Forest Pack, Railclone, Animbot, Advanced Skeleton and more.

I'm in a vfx industry from a looong time. The real limit that it doesn't make possible to switch to any other software than Maya, it's "just" that Maya it's deeply integrated in the pipelines. A lot of asset are reusable, a lot of rig are reused across different shows. The main two departments that probably they will not like to much move to blender are rigging and animation. really often the entire rigging pipeline in a lot of most famous vfx firm still based on MEL scripting, plus A LOT of custom C++ plugins written in Maya API. The other big issue, especially for VFX it's that at the moment nothing compared to Ziva exist yet in Blender, and muscle simulation, flesh dynamic, it's difficult to achieve in Blender at the moment. That said, i love Blender, and i'm doing some personal research for some big clients about how to integrate more Blender in VFX/Animation pipelines. And the cherry on the cake it's that in almost all VFX houses that i worked on, if i was opening a Linux shell and write "blender", well, Blender was there in the last version. Anyway, luckly things are changing fast...
@3dMistri 9 ай бұрын
Actually the old pipeline will stick to their old pipeline but the new emerging Studio are adopting blender because they are experiencing wave of blender. Also i have seen old studios are also switching their partial work to blender (as Makuta VFX animation who has done vfx work for Indian oscar movie RRR has used Blender majorly is their pipeline despite having other work in Maya), also when you use API call from other software it always take little more time than to have complete control of source code and write your script directly utilizing source code.

I read my first book on CGI when I was 13, and went to college for Computer Animation almost 15 years ago. The industry standard throughout that whole time and for a decade before had ALWAYS been MAYA, so that's what I learned. Fast forward and for the past 3 years, I've been working to build up my own set of tools and eventually open my own studio. Maya, 3DMax, and Cinema4D are now no longer part of my pipeline AT ALL! Houdini, Blender, Unreal, Marmoset Toolbag, Cascadeur, and the Reallusion Suite, among a myriad of other open-source and independent tools offer more than enough to match or even outdo Autodesk, Maxon, or the Foundry's line of overpriced tools. Why would I ever invest in these legacy software suites with extortionary business models when I can build for the future with tools that are either a better value for money or open source and support open standards? If this doesn't show you how far open-source has come or how far the legacy DCCs have fallen, I don't know what will, but it does seem like a case of complacency, hubris and resting on your laurels and it's entirely possible more and more artists and studios will transition

I mean the market out there has softwares like 3dcoat or houdini that get gamechanging things but autodesk isnt in that place for sure, (maya still will be the best for animation, no doubts but that is not because of the updates)

My only issues have been trying to learn the UI, which I find insanely counterintuitive (even just for something as simple as moving an element) and that it seems that when 90% of people say "Blender can do everything Maya can and more!" they mean with dozens upon dozens of addons that I usually have to find myself and are NOT free. But I like it as a one-stop shop for individual 3D art needs.

My money is on Blender: It takes A LOT of time to learn a 3D tool and when you choose Blender, you know that your effort won't lead you into a vendor lock-in of steadily increasing rip off cost and subscription based endless cost that never stops. You own Blender in the way that you can't own Maya, you can do whatever you want with it and you even get the source code. Blender is now also developing much faster than the competition, it is getting more features faster. With the roadmap of the planed features for Maya, you can see that Autodesk is spreading out the features, so they can justify the subscription model, so the features that you get in one bang with Blender, they will release spread out over a year.

The main thing I love about Blender is the community around it. People are so helpful and there are very helpful free and also paid tutorials out there. I've taken the money I used to spend on 3DS Max and Corona render licenses and spent it on training in Blender. My skills have increased much faster and I'm having fun with it. It has become my main hobby learning 3D in Blender. I like how I can use Blender on my MacBook too when I'm chilling around the house. I spend all day at work on a PC at a desk, so it's nice to sit on my bed using my laptop and relaxing so I enjoy doing a little bit of 3D practice every day now. Then those little wins all start to add up.

This is something we talk about a lot in the studio (Indie Game Studio). When I was hired they got a Maya license for the new artist. I told them I wanted to use blender for the modeling and animation and they gave me complete freedom on what software to use for the character modeling and animation. A year and a half after that talk the art director decided to switch to Blender also and all the 3D content in the game was made in Blender. So yes, if we talk about indie and freelance creators Blender is the way to go and for what I can see now in 2023 is that even big game studios added blender to their required knowledge next to Maya. I strongly believe that open source software is the future.

I work in an animation studio and am an active user of Blender, but for work issues I sometimes have to launch Maya. From my feelings I can say that Maya is a decaying corpse sitting on a golden throne. There is not a single feature in Maya that is obviously superior to what Blender can do. And then, this “superiority” applies to simulations and working with hair. In everything else, Maya loses. There are only a few features that can be completed using third party plugins, but I believe it is a matter of time before the blender community catches up and overtakes Maya

I'm a media developer and don't care what tool I use as long as it's reliable and updated regularly. Blender is a GREAT tool, but I use 3ds Max because when I was at Uni it was the biggest around. Blender keeps Autodesk honest, and this is why I always try to use Blender on my projects especially the liquid and Cloth engines. I used to use the renderer but Arnold is very very good. An example why I love Autodesk also is that I was on a project and had a problem with the IK bones link tools in 3ds Max, The deadline was close so I reached out to the technical support, Within half an hour I had a specialist who walked me through the problem and remained professional and helpful. That really took the pressure off me, having this as a backup while on projects cannot be underestimated.

In my opinion vfx involves great expenses and one of them are software licenses. Nobody can use a single 3d package to do everything, but it has no sense paying for maya or 3dmax licenses for modeling props, rocks, vegetation, terrains, cars, buildings and so on. By the other hand when you choose commercial 3d package and due to the lack of core functionalities of them, you will incur on additional charges for gpu rendering, sculpting, particle systems, fx simulations, clothes and material libraries as an example. This is only one part of the costs, because big production studios hire hundreds of vendor companies to complete or make the whole project, who are also paying commercial licenses to Autodesk, and need to be profitable, therefore they will apply profit margins to licenses, work, shared costs, and the hardware that they use or will use for a specific project . You can do a lot of professional work with Blender and save tons of time and money. Blender, 3dCoat and Unreal Engine are changing everything. Lazy people always refuse to learn something new, but companies should oblige them to move from their comfort zone.

Big studios pay millions for education of their artists in a specific problems. They pay millions for a good pipline integration sometimes with own devs and own plugins. The price for license for the software is not very important. The employees are much more expensive. And if you have an AAA game or a big movie production you can save license costs if you mention autodesk, sidefx etc. in the credits.

Can we just stop with this dumb discussion? Just start learning on whatever software you can/want to. Most of fundamentals are the same in 3D software (except for something like houdini, bifrost and geometry nodes in blender, but still same base of procedural logic). Go after what is used on the studios you want to work for or what is asked more in freelance work focused on your specialty (or as a generalist). It isn't that hard to learn multiple 3D softwares and with time, most 3D artist can pay an autodesk indie license or 1 year of houdini license. If you can't do it, you probably need to invest more time in your skills (technical, artistic or even social, since networking and being able to work in a team is ESSENTIAL). I mainly use maya for rendering and hair,(arnold and xgen, got to learn v-ray and redshift as a freelancer and in a few studios) blender for modeling although I still use mostly maya for this, zbrush when needed and marvelous designer. Currently learning houdini for grooming.

Although I am glad that Autodesk made the right move to have Indie licenses available for artists who cannot afford to pay for their regular licenses, I genuinely think that it is still a step back. There are certain countries, like South Africa for example, that is not eligible for indie licenses, even though studios and freelancers use Maya as their Main 3D tool and have no choice but to pay over R20,000 a year for the regular license. I hope in the near future Autodesk can at least make it accessible to more countries and to artists who cannot afford to pay at that price.

@@CGSTUDENT15 There are a few examples that I could list, but there is one that always bother me the most. For example, using symbols to name objects or materials. Some of the symbols, such as the dash symbol or space gap, gets replace with an underscore. Yes, I understand this is to prevent any problems along the way when naming your objects or materials, but in some cases, there are times when it is necessary to use dashes if you are using a third party plugin or script that requires a certain naming convention in order for it to work. That's when blender comes in. Blender is not restrictive when it comes to naming your objects or mats with different symbols. Also, blender has a plugin for searching and replacing certain symbols. So I would often use blender to replace the underscore symbols to the dash symbol. Luckily, moving my projects files over to blender and replacing the symbols does not take up too much time. But it becomes annoying when I am informed about an error that needs to be fixed in Maya, meaning that I will have to re-start the process of renaming those objects again. So, this is just one example of what advantage that Blender has than what Maya does not.

I'm still a little confused even with the indie licences. Like, if I'm just getting my startup off the ground and I'm funding it out if my own pocket, We're gonna be working in Blender because that's what our team was able to learn on with a nearly nonexistent budget. So let's assume we launch the first product, it does well on the market, and now we have enough in one to afford the indie licences and training courses for our main artist and they'll pass that info on to any extra we may have to onboard later. Assuming we somehow manage to complete the new project within one year (unlikely) that's still another 300-600 USD of resources we could instead spend contracting freelancers to cover our weak spots, or money we can spend on food and shelter so we get a little extra time to work on the game. So... We'd just stick with Blender since we already have experience with it, maybe a couple new plug-ins. Maybe there are some things the Autodesk products are better at than Blender for a small team, but it very much seems like unless we get snatched up by a bigger Corp that already is in the Autodesk ecosystem, there is no reason to put the resources towards training and switching to their tech. It sorta reminds me of the role Unity used to have. Everyone trying to study game dev was getting trained on Unity in school, so hiring people to work in Unity and C# was more cost effective and intuitive for any group that wasn't entrenched with years of established workflow in other tools. When I was coming up, I believe they had us use an educational version of Maya for all of one class. Years later when I realized I wanted to do more 3D, I find out that Maya costed way more than I could reasonable budget for as an experiment. So I had to go learn Blender from free online tutorials on my own time. And now that I have my fundamentals in Blender, starting back from ground zero with Autodesk because "It's what the big studios use" does not appeal. (Substance Painter is cool Af though, if I had the budget and weren't allergic to Adobe, I'd keep that one in our kit. )

Animation is still restrained to hiring Maya pros, but modeling tasks are now accepted if you're modeling and texturing.

I work in transportation design, and I'm seeing Blender's popularity explode. For this industry, I don't think the cost had much effect; the OEM's still buy the same number of expensive CAD/3D licenses. Early on I saw Blender being snuck into studios because you can run it from a USB drive, and that meant you didn't have to get sign off from a manager and the IT department (which can take forever). Many studios rely on IT to do all of the updates, so being able to bring Blender into the office on a drive and run it without installing it was crucial to its viral growth. For me, it wasn't until they fixed the interface that I started using it more seriously. A strong default interface is way more important than a customizable interface because every tutorial uses the default UI. The right click to select thing was super weird, and I felt like they were willing to die on that hill until 2.8. I'm glad they've become less stubborn.

Programmers working on tools for Autodesk are getting properly payed where programmers for blender tools are almost expected to make the content either for free if not very cheap.

Blender completely distrupting their plans by just offering a better service with nearly no expense is a bless, as people can now start indie projects without literal paychecks being extorted for "the honour" of using a program functionally stuck to 2010.

Blender will not compete with anything that has a pass/take system. Blender can have all the cool tools a 3d software can have (which it does), but without a way to make subscenes inside the main scene it will always be looked at as a hobbyist tool. I'm not saying there aren't studios using it...there are probably some using it exclusively. But if you have clients you need a pass system, which Blender does not have...nor have I heard any rumors the developers are considering implementing a pass system. I don't know if they even know what a pass system is and why its so important to professional animators. Render buffers and AOVs don't count. By the way, I think Blender is awesome other than the whole pass system thing. I'd drop Cinema 4d for Blender quickly when they come out with a way to do takes/passes like Maya and Cinema 4d.

for that Blender will maybe first develope the everthing node system even further first , ...improve it make it stable, evolve develope new features,... to handle better f.e.the outliner ( Scene data) , Vfx & Viewport( Scene & Render data) .. etc.for single user and teams.... then a bigger step can happen.. .. then missing important part is a developer that comes around and present a qell thought out proposal maybe a unity style Subscene system that is worth to implement , that break not the vanilla blender rules for development , implementing stuff.. Like the CG cookie guys and blender market devs... The guys show on the last Bcon 2023, a new cool Retopo system,.. ...but that can not be simple implemented while it breaks rules, rules of GUI, UI, creat new dependacies have hacks it is code etc.. maybe a new Editor for retopo is a way to do it but nobody knows for shure what is the best way at the moment... So Subscene for lange data (delta) handling is worth to thing about, but thats maybe a big big project and challenge zhat at this moment way to big and break to much other dev. parts that the team work at the moment... p.s. alone for controlling the rendertime and data handling of large computational intensiv Scenes and Objects its totally valid to have SS system, no doubt.. .. great idea by the way and worth to do a Mini proposal on right click select Website...

I hate to play devils advocate but autodesk suite is industry standard because of scalable reliability. in short Autodesk is people. if I were running a hundred architects and engineers, I need them backed up by technical support and custom developer associates. movies maybe not, but for things like marine infrastructure. even in these arenas however Autodesk is no longer a monopoly. and many segments of the industry such as consumer product visualization now have numerous utilities in every range of price and features. programs like blender might erode their grip on broadcast graphics eventually or cinema and advertising vfx today, but industrial design architecture and engineering are what autodesk does. furthermore they have fully integrated with Unreal engine and AVID as well as becoming pioneering authors of 3d printing utilities both inexpensive and free.

Blender is great , but the inability to use double or triple monitor setups is very annoying.

Crazy how Blender use to be the joke of the 3D industry and now is the most popular tool not only for hobbyist but also for the majority of 3D artist working in games.

I feel like these type of videos are made only because you had to have SOME video to place advertisement of the course in. In the last decade this "is Blender making Autodesk SCARED? The TRUTH!" clickbaity videos were made thousands of times.

I abandoned 3dmax for blender. Even it is not architect ure oriented, I found that it is more fun to work with blender...and it is free
