With almost every young artist prefers Blender over Maya and considering they'll take the role in the future; blender will be integrated in professional pipeline and be industry standard in the future. It's just a matter of time

I love seeing everyone in this room. All three of them just missing Ian Hubert. Truly amazing and beyond talented gentlemen. Thank you all for what you do!

Blender Labs sounds exciting. I'm glad to hear Blender is adopting a more visionary approach to the future and won't let themselves become obsolete.

I started using Blender 4 years ago as a side hobby, now I am a professional 3D game artist. Thanks Blender, Thanks Toon Roosendaal, Thanks Blender Devs.

Andrew chasing Ton around with the mic is my favorite memory from the entire conference 😄

I always love how Ton is both Open, but stubborn....while still being generally right....as long as I've been using blender 2.27, he's been like this...the kind of guy who calls you an idiot, but tells you how to be better...he's just awesome.

1:12:14 Blender feels like the last program not asking for updates/analytics...which is a blessing...

There are no minimum requirements to use Blender on my PC. But I have been using Blender very smoothly and learning since last eight months. Alhamdulillah very powerful software for low budget PC. I don't actually have an external graphics card. Still, Alhamdulillah, Blander doing well. I don't have F_HD display but it shows better screen than other software. Thank you for creating such a perfect user friendly software, and many thanks to Blender for giving it away for free.

I really enjoyed this. It would be great to have more podcasts from Blender institute, and @Andrew, it would be great to have more Blender folks on your podcast.

Ton is a total riot, greatest sense of humour in the 3D World

Wonderful talk. I've learned a lot from it. Ton is a visionary, a true leader. Although he is not a billionaire, I consider him to be up there with the Steve Jobses and the Jeff Bezoses.

As someone works in the car design field, after about a year switching over to Blender, I wish Blender in the future would add more flexibility to the edge crease adjustment for high poly work flow. To be specific, if there could be controls that let you manipulate the change of mean crease values on an edge between two vertices to make the crease gradually fade out, that will be a game changer to automotive design, currently Blender is on par with Alias Sub-d but not fully blown it away because it still lacks a lot of the precision controls, a lot of automotive designers are still being skeptical about switching over, but it is already the most effective tool to create good visuals I feel.

Really enjoyed the chat. Toward the end it was funny to see capitalism and socialism go back and forth in nice respectful way on different topics.

just three of my favourite blender personalities. no biggie.

The three of them here are amazing humans, as always its a treat to listen to them. Battery charged !

How inspiring to hear the creators and employees of such an awesome software. I hope that they work on making our creations look as professional as possible.

I wish Blender would make metric units uniform, so we can finally create things at the correct scale; this would help tremendously

Ton is very wise about Hollywood market.

It would be super cool if this podcast with these 3 could be a yearly occurrence

Here in Bharat (India) i work with a anamorphic 3d advertising company that is completely based on blender pipe line. As much is still to be made better in blender, i think a lot is already production level atleast 60 percent.

Ton is ahead of his time.

For me in my college I learned maya now in industry i had switched to blender since companies where asked me to switch and i loved that I made a switch from maya

THIS AWESOME U GUYS ARE DOING BIG STUFF TO THE WORLD

Pablo you are very much appreciated

I quit 3DS Max for Maya, and then Maya for now... Blender, and never going back. Love it for my archviz projects.

THANK YOU.

used max for about 16 years, now i use and love blender and im not going back.

Great to see Ton's vision! Cannot wait to see Blender provide the plugin points to emerging interaction devices and technologies. There are already a lot of creative tools that let you create in 3D more efficiently, collaboratively. Here are some that I have been using for a couple of years now. While they are not opensource, they are really well designed products. Zoe, FigminXR, Open Brush, Multi Brush, Gravity Sketch, ShapesXR.

Ton is freaking awesome! :D

Very nice Conference and nice podcast 😃👍

Thankyou B.

I would love AI to just take care of the retopology part in my workflow. Or maybe having AI doing the topology part under the hood when I bevel a corner or doing a boolian operation like in a CAD modeller but still working on a poligon level. AI could theoretically give us the best of both worlds.

I use Blender at my day job daily. Ecommerce product rendering and lifestyle renders. I introduced it myself, got people impressed by the visuals and now it is part of the process.

this is wow!

Exactly Ton! Re studios

i love this

For East and West - Blender is the best!!!

In the future I don't see hand gestures replacing the computer mouse, because the mouse allows you to rest your hand on the desk and conserve energy, where as holding your arms in the air is very energy intensive. Eye tracking does have potential and direct brain interfaces.

* BTW big thanks to Ton for giving us all Blender for free forever ! we are forever grateful for it..* I ditched 3dsMax like a year+ ago after using it for years (about 16 years) because it was too expensive for me to ever make money from it and also it was getting harder and harder to keep getting updated cracked versions of the latest 3dsMax for just learning it as a hobby (it was hard to find it online and its heavy GB size wize and sometimes contains viruses so having a great free 3D program like Blender is so great which also opens up very quickly and its very light compared to 3ds Max..and I can always get updated easily with the latest version of Blender so thanks)

Blender is on my daily use.

What an interesting and great Talk with such great and open minded brains!..... and hearts! The Future will need more like you

Let's Go!!

Great Podcast! Thanks guys! And I love that they served vegan food :)

A mouse is a precision tool. Mice are never going away.

That fiddling with the cable, i saw it and thought, "that is exactly what i would doo".

So interesting that you guys are talking about AI for Blender, I've been learning how to integrate it because, it's become impossible to make a team of cohesive people. AI will be powerful in giving the power of a pipeline to one artist.

that table almost looks like geometry node group.

I totally agree and appreciate the opinion that you need the access to the basic things rather than using AI to give you some built models etc. If you are doing art your goal has to be being unique ultimately, although it's hard. Keep it up and that's why Blender is different

I‘m very happy to have the opportunity to lern and evolve as a small freelancer in the 3D industry thanks to blender. It‘s also an honor to have the software on Mac as well. Sadly the support for Mac is always a big chunk behind Windows. I‘m stuck to Blender 3.0 because on Macs with AMD GPU there is a Mac freezing Bug still not solved after a year 😢

Autodesk probably bought Maya and 3Ds max for visualization. Especially with 3Ds max, many architect bureaus were already using that as their main render and lighting tool. IIRC, parts of the old render engines were also later used in their CAD software.

Blender basics asset library: user chooses which libraries they want to work with. A.I generated housing blocks. Define basic house parameters. can even add a reference eye dropper object/scene for easy sizing.

Huge thanks for the insight. Keep it going guys ✌ About knowing; Send a mail to all users with a link to a website to drop a simple creation. Call it the "Blender World" with a counter that would shows how many users are active. And a simple mail with the info that a new relaese is available will keep the Blender Group on the right track. Dont go the "analytics way". In my opinion, Blender, it's all about the freedom of creation for everybody online and offline. What if there is no internet for a while? One thing is certain, all connected software will become completely useless. Side note: Make Blender Movies more available. There is a way and not everybody wants to be a creator 😉

"Thanks for helping out."

the silverlining to the Covid time was that I learned Blender and it shoot me into another level of my being

I just feel unfair for using blender for free.....but I really respect blender creators and their community...blender is a first software that makes me want to donate with all my heart... wishing a good luck to all the future creators

Dude I remember when Alias|Wavefront was on top :)

Best

It would be great to see nVidia invest into a modern geometry kernel that will combine mesh, solid and nurb geometry all in 1 kernel. Maybe OpenCascade will become the common geometry to which proprietary kernels need to build translators for.

One feature that would be really useful would be to bake animated texture from fram a to b

Is there an audio download of this?

Concerning the analytics system, i would personnaly love to see it happen, would share the data and be curious to see my own stats if possible!

I think the hard part with off the cuff podcasts like this is when your given a question like what would happen if blender didn't have ton, i think its hard to give a correct answer to it that everyone would be happy with, I think what would have been nice would have been asking Ton that question on how it would be structred after his retirement, i think getting that answer would have been better then from anyone else.

When we get better Support for linux and Amd Gpu?

There could be an analytics addon to solve the security problem and give some analytics from at least a portion of the userbase.

Do the analytics!!!

How are 3 of the best people ever in the same room

I would love to hear from all three of you really. In what ways you think blender can compete with game engines like unreal 5, which has a built-in rendering pipeline?

58:00 - As for when Ton will stop managing Blender as a leader...it could be really good to have a deep neural AI that could get the essence of Ton's personality and way of thinking so then they could talk to this AI (which would have mimick Ton's way of doing things with Blender) to get the best decisions for the future of Blender..which would go hand in hand with Ton's vision of Blender.

Just put in a bug in the nurbs for instance and you will get bug reports if somebody is using it :)

👍‍

I work at Moving Picture Company. We have Blender here alongside the mostly used Maya

An easy mode to Motion tracking ☺️☺️

I heard that 3ds Max was first owned by Autodesk and than they made a mistake and sold it. So that they had to buy it later on from Discreet.

It is pronounced Envidia, not Nividia (Read this with Hemione's voice)

About the Xmaterial that will takes much more time because the problem will come with render engines code interpretation a unioversal uber shader that is far away now.

06:48 RRR... Love from INDIA...

Blender should bring Architecture users in, i hate they use Sketchup as default for 3d modeling.... With some simple tools Arch students would benefit from blender enormously!!!

Is 8 gb vram enough for environment design in blender ??

I use Blender sporadically at work and like it but i don't get why the hardcore fans are always so emotional about it being "industry standard" and as Ton said, what industry exactly? The few thousand people working for Hollywood mainstream movies? I rather have Blender being targeted towards small teams and individuals and I don't think this mindset of "For Blender to win, all the others have to lose" really leads anywhere... plus the Blender community has been saying "Blender will be industry standard in the next few years" for like 20 years now :D :D Anyways, just my 2 cents.

54:39

Sorry! What is USD in their context?

In Hong Kong most studios specially games, are using Blender

16:10 😂

Something that would be useful are more nodes

It's unthinkable that Blender doesn't have analytics built in. How do they know what works and what don't.

@30:41 I believe interface is a big on not just simple hot key switch in my oppinon. I love what blender is doing but the interface and workflow keeps me away. I use Zbrush but till this day hate the way it works it doesn't function like other 3d packages. I think the interface developers need to pay attention to this and not scoff at it.

he says im quitting i go huh nooooooooooooooooooo

MaterialX does have proper shaders, USD preview is another thing...

Subtles not ?

so now with AI boom... does it make sense to learn 3d and blender? i am not particularly talented or hard working....the though that AI will do it all before i even learn basics is devastating.

Im not teaching a course in Blender at UCLA Extension!

Sir please iclone lipsyng future add blender

6:35 The Fact

haha its dougnut man

If blender is still not included in pipeline...its a good thing...we can start developing new Blender from scratch.. Blender AI with everything real time on d cloud..

navidia

To squash any competition... buy any successful similar product that could tear you down. Simple business move. Bentley just bought PLS-CADD. I think they are buying other products as well. If Blender had engineering interfaces and common tools, it might be attacked by Autodesk. Seeking to buy it out. However, they'd just kill it in order to make money. It would not have the required support behind it for engineering firms.

Sir belnder best software but lipsyng time teking iclone character lipsyng fast and esay

Autodesk is trembling

Hi sir please blender add new future lipsyng seem iclone
