Blender has gone from being a tool professionals scoffed at to one that professionals are stressing over themselves to learn by binging tutorials. It is quite the sight, I remember in 2008 wanting to get into game development and being poopooed on forums from picking up blender and instead pirating maya instead. I obviously dropped the idea completely because of it.
Idk, I think there might be a larger lesson somewhere in there but regardless it's amazing to see the shift that has occurred.
- a1371 5y agoThe larger lesson might be that most people see a product's status and not its momentum?
- cthalupa 5y agoI'm a daily blender user, but I'm a daily modern blender user - the pace of development is rapid, but 13 years ago, you might very well have been painting yourself in a corner if you wanted to do 3d work in the games industry and learned it instead of maya or max
- brewtide 5y agoholds true for people, too.
- edanm 5y agoYou can't use momentum if you want to get work done today. Blender's advancement has been an amazing thing to watch, and it is deserving of enormous praise. Today it is afaict a really legit option for learning 3d. That doesn't mean that saying it was a bad idea to use it 13 years ago wasn't correct.
