I think blender was created to keep the bewannabes from real 3d artist and professional. Real artist use any tool at is disposal.

due to poor management at autodesk, the blender community has grown beyond what anyone had imagined it would back in the day. Blender is by far number one, despite the hundreds of millions of dollars thrown away by the capitalists to try and block it.While others continue to fight AI rather than embracing it, blender will eventually dominate.

I was stupid enough to try the university route for 'game design' and can tell you that the system just doesn't work for a field that changes so quickly. It's a waste of time and a sign for employers to avoid you, if anything.

When the AAA community is nothing more than corporate slop, w0ke propaganda, ESG diversity hires, and multi Billion dollar Bombs. Then a Professional is a competent artist with a good portfolio, with enough high quality work to prove that he knows what he's doing.It has nothing to do with what software you use but for the record Blender is doing a lot better than Maya in several ways. Maya out of the box is not even comparable to what the clowns at Disney use.

Is ok, but you have to use plugins is you trying to make real projects (anything that is not just an image to show off your "mad donut skills")The main problem with Blender are the "teachers".
99% of them are part of the "mad donut skills skool".and 1% that know what they are doing are in IRL art schools as a side job, but work in the industry as main job.
you can find some online, but ~200$ classes on Coloso.

Blender and Godot are built around being promoted like a community cult. I've spent more than 300 hours on Godot and what you can do in Godot for 15+ hours can be done in Unity in less than 20 seconds. Gdscript is NOT a beginner's language nor should it be considered that way. The same applies with Blender.

It's free and can do 90% of everything you can do in the paid, non-perpetual licensed programs.> Real artist use any tool at is disposal.Blender is a tool so therefore someone who uses it at their disposal is an artist, regardless of the reason they use it. You're an actual retard

I can't believe people are still having this discussion in 2025.Blender isn't good at everything, but is a very capable 3D modeler in particular. Its incredibly popular in the industry rn for concept art, hard surface, and environment art.I would go so far as to say Blender + Zbrush + CAD(usually Fusion or Plasticity) is current meta for industry hard surface pros.Blender isn't perfect, but it integrates very well with other pipeline tools. Go to artstation and you'll see a shit load of working professionals using Blender these days.I just don't see how you can still be talking about this.You all need to stop living in 2018.

Reading this thread, it's funny to me, how there is so much hate towards blender. Why is that?I could get it, if you were forced to pay a licence fee, which are often in the price range of around 3000€/year for a single user licence and you discover that the software you pay so much money for doesn't fulfill your needs so you have to rely on additional applications with additional licensing fees to finish a project. Ending up paying half a fortune to tinker a but with 3D can be infuriating. I get it. But you are not paying a fucking dime for Blender and nobody is forcing you to use it.Blender still does a good job in providing a multitude of functions in a single application for absolutely fucking nothing. I don't get the hate towards it.

I know this thread is just one mentally ill guy but... if they implemented vertex paint for multires objects (polypaint doesn't work with subdivision levels, for the zbrushers) then Blender sculpting would be enough to replace Zbrush in many applications

There are more bad zbrush artist than blender artist. Zbrush users are carried by using all their assets and all their artwork has a samey look to it. Adding more wrinkles in their sculpt doesnt mean their artwork is better.

It cracks me up when buttmad trolls compare blender to zbrush/maya
This software that's so expensive you either pirate or you're pretty much have to earn your main income with it.
If you have to compare it then compare it to something like 3dcoat. And surprise surprise that's jank as hell.

I work in an international company and we do product visualisations (not as a main service, but it's a big part of our work). We have an abroad team who is using Cinema 4D and Substance as their main tools and recently Blender was introduced to us too (like a year ago or so). Blender allowed us to do certain tasks not only much cheaper, but also easier and faster due to its open source and procedural nature. We were able to automate certain daily tasks and processes that previously were impossible or would required large investments into Cinema 4D through plugins, licenses etc. The tasks that required the C4D team days, is now being completed within minutes in Blender and it has been welcomed with open arms since. The render quality was initially much better with Octane Renderer with C4D, but as we gained more experience with Blender and Cycles, the difference in quality is barely existent. So, from the POV of an employee working in visuals and actually generating money, I am not sure what the discussion here is about. Blender is a great tool and opened so many new doors for us in terms of efficiency both in time and money. Significantly.

I'm heavily experienced in Blender and using Blender for a professional pipeline, but I've seen some people in and out of this thread saying that Maya in particular is good for animation. Animation is something I've struggled with "improving my pace" on in Blender, can anyone with experience in both software actually explain why Maya would provide some benefits?
I'm considering adding it to my pipeline, in Blender animation tasks beyond rigging feel far, far too "manual," and the interface makes it very clumsy to use poses, templates, share animations between assets, animate two different armatures to "react" to each (wrestling, machinery, etc.) Would Maya provide substantial benefits in these areas? Is it worth the cost?
