Which license change? Last year? Blender technical and financial situation has changed very much since then.
Last year was the transition period to the new UI, new renderer and everything else. 2.80 was not polished at all.
Since then they got access to way more funds from major FAANGs (NVIDIA, AMD, Microsoft, Intel...) and announced and release the first LTS which are the ones intended to be used by commercial studios for long-term projects.
Now they need the time to use that money to hire and speed up things. Future looks very, very bright for Blender.
- krautsourced 6y agoThe Cinema 4D licensing changed to subscription which caused many people to look for alternatives. I'm not arguing against Blender being an alternative eventually, it has great features. It's just not there yet as a complete replacement. For me at least.
