Thanks! I’d wanted to push the blueberries further and wouldn’t use this for production but I’m glad it held up for a few seconds. Sometimes it works and that buys time to do other shots lol. Yeah, geometry nodes… they change so often haha.

This is the way.

It’s definitely changed many lives.

@@KevBinge oh and I almost forgot, I hope that you too have a great day

You too! Thanks.

Thanks! Geometry nodes would be even better with random scatter and attributes.

Yeah lol!

Thanks! I love the process, and have for a very long time 😀.

Go for it! I’d love to see the results.

Haha! That went through my mind as well lol! Thanks!

That’s something I hadn’t seen or don’t remember lol. Thanks!

No problem 👍

Thanks again Kevin!! Check out the stuff on the inside, it’s better 😀. I’ll be uploading the Carmel and Candy soon, just because lol.

👍

Thanks!

Thank you!

Lol. I always try to type like that but never have the patience.

@@KevBinge Was worth it!

I mean, at one point that was 100% true. Blender hasn't always been as sophisticated as it is these days. It was literally the butt of the joke for almost 20 years. It's only in the past few years that it has really caught up to the rest of the industry, and started truly competing with the exorbitantly profitable industry standards

@@gloriouslumi true but why live into past

That’s very true, and part of the title of the video was speaking directly to my old co-workers, who still see Blender like it was even 8 years ago.

Thanks!!!

You got the reference, awesome! Thanks!

@@KevBinge Right on, Kev! Most welcome!

@@Katana2040 Seriously one of the best movies ever.

Thanks! Yes it is. Most of my video blend files are actually 😀

That teacher is wise. 😀

Photo scanning and lots of cleanup lol.

Lol, thanks Joe 😀

Haha, yeah, me either lol.

I’ll add: 1. In over 20 years of production experience, “big plans” checks out. Agreed. 2. Those applications have lots of legacy pipeline integration, and Maya still beats almost everything for character work, though Blender is gaining quickly, luckily. *Aside: “Soyboy” is a term coined by little internet scumbags who’s spelling is close to intel, or whom sell courses to them. Fanboy is better lol, though pipelines… 3. In over 20 years working in production, I’d never seen excuses (luckily) by those with jobs. Most use the tools the project demands. Blender is free so it usually goes the other way (based on interviews I’d conducted at work) but yeah… people like what they are comfortable with. That said, Blender is pretty awesome and getting better all the time.

@@KevBinge Haha tru that Sorry for using the Term "Soyboy" my Friends got me used to that bad Habit - I'll be thinking about it next Time But yeah I'm pretty much tired of them spawning under some Blender Videos or News Portals and looking down on us simply for the Fact that we use Blender and are Happy about how much it has grown over the past few Years It's no Secret that Blender will need more Time to even reach up to the big Players of the Industry and as someone who is working with Industry Standards from Time to Time myself, I have to say I appreciate them despite some of the Twerks they have But that's said, if I have the Choice and my current Project does not demand me to use ZBrush for Example, I'd do it in Blender Blender is just so much more welcoming and makes me feel like Home ZBrush has many awesome Tools, but I can't deny I hold a Hate / Love Relationship to it Blender is good enough for many Things and will do many Tasks just fine and at this Point it became really powerful, just gotta know how to utilise that Power It's not that much different from the Big Players anymore

It totally makes sense, though doing that type of sim in Blender would better be done in Houdini. You can certainly do it in Blender but what a headache comparatively at the moment. Worth a shot though lol. Thanks!

​@@KevBinge i don't mind it being on a Different software. im more curios on the how xD.... thanks will do some Searching.

Oh certainly! I totally get that.

Only if it’s the actual product, at least in the US. This is a glass of blueberries and is indicative of a product but not the product itself. You’d be correct though if they were selling an actual glass of blueberries and the image was fake. …Kind of reminds me of the scene with Michael Douglass in “Falling Down” in that fast food restaurant lol.

Jaded.

@@KevBinge ;(

Nah, it comes and it goes after years in this stuff lol. It’s all good 😀

@@KevBinge IMHO, your "grumpyness" is part of the charm of this channel. It's hard to explain, but it helps take the fear of the complex out of it. It never feels directed at the audience. It's much like my internal dialog when I'm working a problem. :)

@jimmeyers8960 Thanks! I’m not that grumpy in real life unless I’m driving lol. Maybe I’m just jaded about social media and it bleeds through lol.

Awesome!

The answer is on screen as the video starts 😀. That said, I tend to agree. I use Houdini at work, and used Maya for a solid decade before that. Blender is great as it’s free but yeah, for lots of things, it certainly does take way more effort, and time is money unless it’s a hobby.

@@KevBinge When you mean work do you mean like working in an industry or you do contract and stuff?

Industry for over 20 years. Maya, Lightwave, XSI, some Max, and now all Houdini.
