hahaha, great comments. Blender is so brilliant. I met Ton Roosendaal last year when conferences were still a thing. He is awesome. Those guys/gals are amazing. They got a huge grant from Unreal, its great to see software like this just crushing it.

- pabs3 6y agoThe corporate patron rate seems like about 1-2 engineer salaries, so is huge the right way to describe these grants? https://fund.blender.org/corporate-memberships/ https://fund.blender.org/corporate-memberships/

- ingenieros 6y agoYou are thinking in bay area figures. The blender foundation is based in the Netherlands and engineers make far less in wages over in Europe. And lastly by open source standards those grants are quite significant.
- n4r9 6y agoFirst link says 100k euros per month supports 20 core engineers. That means 60k euros per engineer per annum, which is a decent salary in Europe.
