good old difference between the bigass Enterprise, where your complaint was filtered through ladders and ladders of hierarchy to actually end up in a Representative's point of view VERSUS a community driven open-source one.

If you worked on Blender Foundation's demo movie, you pdobably would got response and fix in 24 minutes. :)

I think the reason no. 1 is more of a perception problem. The main reason why corporates won't adopt Blender is mostly the bad reasons.

I think the video above is a bit of a corporate shill fest. There's so many success stories about Blender it's easy to lose count

Right, and then you have half-assed, not finished tool like Extrude Manifold that should work equally good like smart extrude in max and maya, but from 2021 people are asking if it will ever by fixed and nothing happened.

but what if both are on the same speed but the other one is cheaper :O

​@@Jekiterio It's kind of hard to see the organizational challenges when you're an independent artist, but they're real and expensive. I'll start by saying that Blender is incredible for a FOSS project. I'm a huge free, open-source software fan-- I've probably spent 10k hours of development time contributing to free, open-source software-- and I also worked as a developer for a decade before becoming a tech artist. Before that, I worked in code-level support for some big commercial software companies. It's WAY more complicated than the cost of the software itself. Consider a big project with dozens of artists working towards a looming deadline: how many payroll hours for full-time specialists are wasted while some technical person tries to work around something? Let's say you've got a team of 20 in-house artists working on something which, after benefits, get paid the equivalent of $40/hr, and a pipeline problem holds them up for two days. That's about $12,000 of payroll money. How about the in-house team you'd need to do that? You can't hire some JS developer to work on Blender-- the skills to do 3d graphics programming are *expensive.* Like, a bare minimum of $150k per year in salary, plus way more in benefits. Then, consider that if you have more than one problem at once, you've only got one developer! You're back to square one. Even worse, if it goes on long enough, how many more contract artists will they have to hire out of desperation to try and make their contractually obligated deadline? At that point, the cost of the software itself is a tiny fraction of the equation. The video kinda glosses over the underpinnings of corporate software support infrastructure, generally-- not only do they have people who can answer support questions, they have entire layers of structure to deal with progressively bigger problems, right up to coding fixes on the fly. Suppose a bug holds up a company with many product licenses. In that case, they've got multiple levels of support to diagnose and troubleshoot the problem and, if need be, an entire giant team of developers to bang out a patch in no time flat. At the same time, their QA department can do some lightning-round testing to make sure it's not going to screw anything up. Since they have multiple big customers, they can justify having big teams do this stuff that can bang out these problems quickly because they will be helpful to many customers. It's not a panacea-- dealing with the support infrastructure of those big companies sucks-- but you've probably got legally binding service-level agreements and leverage over your licensing renewals because there are multiple competitors out there. But then again, what if your company can make use of those expensive in-house technical people for other things? What if the Blender project seems to be putting a bunch of development time into things that are critical for your studio and the corporate companies are moving away from them? There's no one-size-fits-all answer, here. And for individuals? It's almost certainly not worth buying a big-name DCC license, except maybe specialized tools like Houdini Indie Z-Brush or Substance Painter if you need them. However, you don't have to go far beyond that before the economy of scale in corporate vendors can be a huge boon. in most situations, the licensing cost of the software is just one item on a massive list of expenses.

@@Jekiterio I use both Blender and enterprise software like Maya and Max and while Blender is great for the things it does, the thing is, enterprise software are meant to do one thing each instead of doing everything in one software. So while if you compare everything in Blender with everything in basically any paid software by itself, Blender would always win but big companies have different teams each focused on a single task each and so they would rather choose a software that's best for the job. For example, yes, Maya and Max suck at sculpting, but Maya's animation and Max's modelling and simulation tools combined with plugins are on a completely different level. And the sculpting team will just use zbrush, which does that job at a completely different level than blender.

​@@JekiterioThen that's a bad investment

No, it works like the millitary, these corporations have to justify spendings for maximum tax optimization, it's a matter of loopholes

College is amazing in its uselessness

Outside of networking I dont see much that those game development programs bring compared to just doing things and learning from many free resources.

You legend!

What’s one of the best resources for learning Blender ?

Some said studios can't estafa investors with free softwares, like overquoting the number of licenses and their duration, but purchased less if not far less and for shorter duration. That's why they only use the most expensive versions of each type.

​@@MangaGamified doubt that's a valid reason, since that would be fraud - which is not something you'd want to get on a hook for as a big company. While samller companies may be tempted to try it, it's generally too risky for big corporations to do because their size is like a huge regulation and lawsuit magnet. You can maybe squeeze out a few dozen grand in fines from a small indie studio, or you can squeeze out tens of millions of dollars from giants like Ubisoft - all for the same exact thing.

I remember when Blender's UI/UX was a total disaster. The interface looked like the cockpit from a 1950s jetliner and it was a total unholy mess, switches here, buttons there, none of it labelled properly or made any sense. But they redeemed themselves very well indeed and it's now really very usable.

Also cause of custom key layouts, which are designed for ease of use, do have presets to be like other programs

Ubisoft switched to blender for animatics when the last rayman was in development, and they used along zbrush and the substance suite in the last 4 assasins creed, it's in their development blog.

I haven't tried Clip Studio yet, but I do really hate photoshop, what makes it worse is that it wasn't even meant for painting.

@@TheCantinaChannel I think CPS is a lot more user friendly. It has some less more advanced features but it's not a software meant for photo editing. It's original use is making Manga (used to be called Manga Studio back then). It's still full of numerous amazing features and oftentimes when my professors said "you can only do this in Photoshop" I'd go home, check on CSP and prove them wrong. Price-wise also, CSP is i think $40 (but it's very often on sale at $20), pay once and have it forever, whereas you need to sell your kidney, liver and testicles for a Photoshop monthly or yearly subscription.

I feel like as long as you can save as a .psd its fine, and the end result will always be a flat image i guess, maybe i just dont know enough about that pipeline but it doesnt seem as nuanced as 3D haha

@@nikolaievans2432 That's was said for Blender too. It's still true in many cases. I wonder, if Godot too will come of age with time.

It's basically the same for everything, not just individual tools, at least for older studios. Why don't they use Unity / UE more? Because there's been workflows developed internally for years or decades with in-house software. When Sega AM2, an arcade game developer, released their first UE game, it was almost entirely industry newcomers never credited in anything else before. Even in music production, people still hang on to 20 year old mac towers running ancient versions of pro tools and other software.

Exactly. The shift will happen when the older systems become so sclerotic that it makes sense to re-train a new group. This has happened before, I remember Lightwave...

​@@qoph1988Blenders major problem is that it cripples brutally with high resolution meshes where as in Maya or Houdini can handle those like champ. Furthermore, being donation funded greatly limits amount of workforce they can pour onto it, though they are doing amazing job with what they have, it won't ever be Unreal of 3D modelling

@@Navhkrin I will never understand how Houdini can handle so much high poly stuff going on at the same time. That software is magic.

I've been a maya certified instructor for 18 years, I've used zbrush for 20 and cinema 4d for almost 26 years. i switched to blender in 2018. I struggled a few minutes and then discovered the industry standard keymap. In 3 hours i was already doing the same stuff i do in Maya. it took me whooping 3 days to adapt my workflow. If it takes you weeks let alone months to adapt to blender coming from maya it means you never actually knew maya. And if you take months to learn something you supposedly already knew you didn't work for an actually big company. So, just mind gymnastics to justify maya.

there's a reason why these execs love AI so much

1. This only applies to governments that privatize their services so some middle-man can profit - e.g. the Norwegian government does a lot in-house, I saw Linux being used on general-use computers meant for the public (like a library PC) in government facilities there in 2012. 2. Canonical provides professional/paid support for Blender, so your point is moot anyway.

I am pretty sure that is how almost all FOSS projects get the large majority of their funding, through selling unnecessary support packages

@@5374seth Nah, you're dead wrong. They get the funding from other FOSS projects that need or want the project to thrive, and also from companies that want to use that software in the future.

What government? and even then, the government needs to adapt, like there used to be no jurisdiction of AI art, cyber crime, etc. literally all those laws was born within 2 decades. They don't conform into something if it's not popular, getting government funding and future bail-out proof just makes those companies even more greedier since gov = tax money and everyone pays taxes, they'll just get greedier and complacent. Try government services that's not in USA nor EU, they're slow as f*ck cause they know they'll never get fired as long as they do the absolute bare minimum.

@@BusinessWolf1 data?

Thats awful

I used 3ds Max and Maya in college. I hated Maya's layout so much the first thing I learned how to do was change the interface.

Kinda similar experience: I had an intro CS professor teach us Java by only allowing us to use packages he made instead of the regular Java stuff - we had to use his implementations or the auto grader would give us a 0 or not even run. It was a nightmare because there was obviously no way to google any problems you had with his stuff, you just had to pay extremely close attention in lectures / not miss a lecture and pray the TAs could help you. Withdrew from his class after two months and eventually retook the class from a different professor that did things the normal way.

might try searching youtube or google on how to change the interface

Most studios configure Maya the way they want, as do most artists. That's part of the learning curve and it sounds like you still are coming to grips with it. As a 20 year veteran of the VFX industry, and a former teacher at a well known 3D animation school, I can tell you that you probably want to invest your time learning another 3D package unless you are trying to become a character animator.

Very good, very overlooked point. It often isn't change itself that's the problem, but not expecting the change to ultimately yield benefits worth the upfront effort, inconvenience, and so on that the change requires. I'm not opposed to other ruts, but why go to to the trouble of getting out of my current rut, settling into the other one, and so on, if I don't first believe the other one will be any better? Not wanting to make an investment unless you think it'll pay off isn't aversion to change, it's prudence.

It's one of the most common and also one of the laziest arguments in any discussion. Frame your viewpoint as "change" and yell as hard as you can that the only REAL reason people disagree is because they can't handle change. The subject matter itself of course has nothing to do with it, it's not like you just have differing views and evaluate things differently for different reasons, it can't be that. That's insanity, it must be the fact they can't handle change, it always is!

@@Bladieblah Preach on, brother! Life is complicated, navigating it is complicated, and there are a thousand factors behind every personal decision. Only one of which is opposition to change.

Blender is indeed standard for those that can not afford industry software.

I had no idea about this, didn't even seeing it on their licensing page. I suppose it's better than 300 a month but I'll probably stick to blender still anyway.

if you're a student Maya is also completely free for you and you can pay smaller fees for temp licenses if you want to learn on the edu version and also work on something commercially

Consistency of UI/keys? It's one of the worst parts. Maya has been the same for almost 30 years.

@@nothankyoutube - Hmm, hard to compare. Blender is an "all in one" tool. So many parts, so having this consistency MEANS something.

Don't get me wrong, I love Blender, but I think the hotkeys are one of the most unintuitive things I've ever seen in any program. If I want to change a sculpting brush to the B key, I right click on it, assign shortcut, hit B, and... it doesn't work. I have to go into the menus, find what the B key is being used for specifically in sculpt mode and unassign that thing. If I want to use the B key across every mode, I need to unassign like 15 different things for it to work. I'm also not really a fan of nearly everything having a hotkey by default. I often press random keys by mistake and I'm left wondering what the heck I just did and how to undo it (ctrl-z doesn't undo certain actions). Hotkeys are useful for things you do constantly, but I think accessing everything else through a menu would be cleaner. You can get everything working the way you want, but it's a massive pain. Despite that, I do still think Blender is god tier software for being free.

@@unrighteous8745 Yeah but in Maya etc, the shortcut keys only change the mode, so pressing R switches you into rotate mode, but then you have to click on the gizmo (Which might not even be on screen, depending on how zoomed in you are) and then manually rotate. In blender, wanna rotate something on the Z axis by 45 degrees? Just press 'R' then 'Z' then '45'. Sounds complicated initially but once you get the hang of it it's super quick.

@@unrighteous8745 I remember Blender 10+ years ago when I first learned it... Hoo-boy... The interface was 10 times worse than what it is today! The software itself was still powerful, but it was like it was designed by left handed aliens from planet Mars based on a badly translated verbal description of what a computer interface is.

"So I think in 5 years we'll see a lot more studios adopting Blender for real." I'm going to tell you as someone who's been using Blender for the better part of the last two decades (and also has quite a bit of experience with other packages like Maya), I've been hearing this claim for as long as I've been using the software.

@@life4trinity ok but same thing lol

@@life4trinity no no, you go to college to get a piece of paper saying that you can do things (but actually not)

I was just about to say this. Some studios specifically made plugins for Maya or 3ds Max to hotlink between both their game engine or renderer and they don't want to spends months trying to reprogram it to work with Blender. I saw the OnRush devs on video saying that they had to make a plugin in Maya for track editing to work for the game.

This and parallel evaluation for animation playback are the only two reasons our team will stick with Maya indefinitely.

@davidlloyd1526 If you're thinking in terms of exporting from Blender to any game engine, you're right. But we're talking about custom editor tools and plug-ins devs need for their projects being incompatible to work with in Blender compared to other corporate software.

People rarely like change.. but change happens. It would be pretty disturbing if people were still using Maya in like 2050, that would be a sign of immense stagnation. I'm frankly astounded that people are still using it in the 2020s, I did not think I would still have relevance from my high school 3d packages two decades later.

@@SoPeLpc Using - yes. Everyone does, including Marvel/Disney. But replacing Maya in established workflow? Not yet, but Epic targets many Maya features in UE upgrades, making Blender gradually good enough for UE workflow.

You are right. I used to love maya. I didn't know much about autodesk before they bought maya. I thought autodesk buying maya was a good thing. But maya started to become very unstable. Very annoying. Many years after I left maya, I keep hearing the same thing. It makes me sad. Maya deserve better.

Blatant lie. Blender is FAR away to replace Maya and 3ds Max in their domains. You claiming that Max is only for architecture is a testimonial to your lack of knowledge. Max is heavily used in the gaming industry aside of Maya. Blender has a long way to come even remotely close to Autodesk software and you Blender cultists wont win anyone over with your mantra about how Blender is all over the world and how it is supposedly replacing Maya and Max and co.

As someone whose TEACHED both let me give you an answer to those reasons. 1. blender is open source, yes, but unreliable? If the company encounters a problem, they google the problem, there's even tutorials on that dark issue, from clicking a button to full "let's make an addon for that problem" solutions. And I've never got a straight solution from maya support beyond "yeah that's a known issue". Now, for unreliable, besides the removal of the game engine, what's a feature that has been removed from blender on the last 20 years? How many games do you know that were made on blenders engine?. Now, you have a branch that makes it work in the last version so even if you use it it still exists as a branch. even if they remove the tool they still offer it as a branch and that's true even for scrapped projects such as the web flash interface platform module. Now, unreliable would be Autodesk killing stingray in the middle of hundreds of game development cycles and not giving a single answer to the projects that were left to die. Or removing the whole 3d engine from autocad on Mac. So literally thousands of users were left with a crippled version and it hasn't even been issued. Also, Linux support for all softs was totally killed. Autodesk answer? Don't use a Mac. Or totally removing mental ray in the middle of a production without a tool to even adopt Arnold. Or stealing joe alters hair engine and killing all shaveandahaircut licenses because of the legal department cutting ties with joe. Or killing softimage just because. Or buying mudbox just to kill it slowly, or hasn't been updated beyond "bug fixes" since 2016. And don't get me started on Maxon buying pixologic and screwing licenses all over the place. Perpetual licenses now last a year. That's unreliable. 2. maya's workflow is dramatically similar to blender, as similar as you can even use the same shortcuts and add-ons. Nothing changes, you rig the same, you make nla tracks, you export to your game engines and usd scenes for offline rendering. What's so dramatically different?

Yes, in my city EVERYONE switched to something else than maya/max, most of them switched to blender and a few others even switched to something else completely like ai generated content. All my Autodesk classes since 2018 has been on either autocad, inventor, or besides that, blender, Photoshop, premiere, audition, or afterfx, there hasn't been a single (based on something like 6000 people that asked for courses with us) person interested on maya, max, indesign or illustrator since 2018.

Exactly, more companies start using Blender, because a lot of talented people can’t pay for maya or 3ds max while getting ready for real work… even I decided to go from maya to blender after working 7 years with maya, it’s difficult, but I just hate monthly/yearly subscriptions, and because of those subscriptions I’m done with autodesk… I’m ok to pay once even if it’s $800+ but paying $1000+ just to have maya at home?

@@tharoog it can but not with the same flexibility as Maya yet, believe me we tried, it will improve in future blender updates, I'd love to have blender as my core tool

This is the biggest reason why I barely touch blender. Let alone the hundreds of scripts that I've written to automate/semi-automate workflows in my pipeline, if the program cannot flexibly reference scenes, it's not going to be iteratively agile in the production cycle. Iteration determines polish so the faster you can reiterate the more polished your work becomes.

@@warmachine40k yep, the time factor becomes the backbone of any production and the flexibility with Maya allows for fine tuning that's not even on the map with other software

I did not know that about python. The more I read about Blender's pitfalls the more I recognise how much room it has for growth. And that honestly excites me.

I vaguely remember pipeline bridges and render engine implementations in B3D that used a python shell and the actual proprietary stuff as a binary, C++ most likely. Not an expert but that is a thing.

@@ronnetgrazer362 Yes, for example hydra storm has a python integration plugin, but the rest is still written inside of the native core of Blender in C++ Same goes for stuff like Octane, probably, since it still requires you to download a separate version of Blender

You can use c++ in blender

@@ProjectAtlasmodling I'm talking about using libraries directly, instead of hacking around with natives through python. From handbook FAQ for new blender devs: > While work is ongoing to improve the Blender implementation in this regard, realistically, adding support for a C++ plugin API is unlikely to happen anytime soon.

From my experience Blender has a lot of plugins/tools, but they're often bad even the paid ones that go for $20-30+. E.g. Plugins like animating people/crowds, animating/rigging cars, city generators ( e.g. Cyberscape Pro ) and more... basically if the plugin is based on Geo Nodes then it's likely going to be bad full of limitation, issues and bugs and I wouldn't recommend to buy it without watching at least 20mins of workflow using it or if there's no refund option. But there are also great plugins such as "Botaniq", "Construction Lines" and more, but even those good ones are no match for similar plugins for Maya/Max. Maya/Max plugins are dozen levels above and those plugins such as "Goalem", "TyFlow" and "Craft Director Studio" could easily become standalone software.

The biggest studio only ever use subs and the most expensive ones at that, so they can estafa investors, by overquoting the number of licenses and duration, but is actually less if not far less, like how can you overquote estafa something that's free? it's a deeper rabbit hole than you can imagine just read around, atleast the above ones.

@@MangaGamified See, I know nothing about the inner workings of companies like that. While I figure companies aren't always gonna be honest about their practices, this is news to me. What companies do you have in mind who do this? I'm curious now

​@@MangaGamifiedthe thinh is you can invert it to "we need more artist" if the studio uses Blender lol

@@ADreamCalledeternity They didn't say either out of fear maybe and being expandable these days like offshore / AI. I'm also new'ish to exploiting investors like wolf of wallstreet, FOMO, investors fomo investing Tesla but look at it now, china scamming investors in china, there's just lots. These happen alot especially in 3rd words or atleast in my country, maybe an overexaggeration but look up "China Tofu projects".

You sound like my cat! XD

freelancers are not the industry. Exactly as the video said, Blender is not on par with specialised counterparts, far from it. It's a really good diy tool for most basic or amateur tasks. It's a swiss tool. Nice to have on a tight budget, but not your workhorse knife.

@@palynodie5 Young freelancers will be the base for the industry in 10 years time when they are working professionally. My friend was contracted by disney and uses blender for everything.

@@THX-1138 in 10 years time I can garantee you that 3D packages will all be as relevant as analog phones are today.

@@palynodie5 They said this about C every time a "New Paradigm" dropped

@@THX-1138 There was no "new paradigm" before AI became an actual thing, mind you. VFX/animation/gaming industry has been rolling on the same one for a good three decades.

It's what I wanted to to professionally but now I do it more as a hobby

@@TheCantinaChannel why?

@@neozyykun If I had to guess, he is probably more free(in both time and visionary direction) to do what he wants as a KZfaqr rather than doing whatever your boss tells you to do for the entire workday everyday

True

smart move

Nah, they can't estafa with a Free software on top of investor money, some in the comments already clued in they got some pocket money out of estafa from investors, like over-quoting the number of licenses and duration of the licenses. That's why they only use subs many subs and the most expensive ones at that + overquote = lots of extra pcket money. Hype something with a trailer, people get hyped, VC and investor money starts puring in, overquote licenses and duration = lots of extra pcket money before the movie starts selling. Alibis of other softwares is just an afterthought. Those big and bigger studios already have the prestiege and portfolio but they can never ever have enough money. Read @fighter05 and @sm5574 comments.

Which version of PHP? I've heard the newer versions are getting better, but I wouldn't be surprised if the code was targeting an old and unsupported version of PHP even at the time 💀

It's called the invators delema, change never happens from the top it's always the bottom

"once it becomes popular" It's a free program with millions of users, it's already popular. I've been using Blender in some capacity for the better part of 20 years, and I've been hearing some variation on "it's five years away from being the industry standard" for basically that entire time. It's probably not happening any time soon, at least not in the way people who say that imagine.

"Because its convoluted and unstable and god forbid you try to do certain things, certain things only work with certain versions. Its also just plain messy and convoluted from a UI perspective." but enough about Maya, what's your opinion on Blender? 🤣

@@MrMargaretScratcher blenders use with a trackpad is still terrible

@@oo--7714 I can't argue with that, but then I've never tried to use Maya with a trackpad, so no idea how it compares

​@@oo--7714Why would you even use a track pad for modeling if you care about efficiency at all?

Into the spider verse and across the spider verse were mainly done in Maya with AI to make those brushes. Maya, Zbrush, Photoshop and Blender were indeed use in those films. I still think Blender + Photoshop is a very powerful combo. Maya and Max are outdated and glitchy, though, Maya is better when it comes to animating.
