I LOVE Blender, like, a kind of love that's embarrassingly too much for a software. No to mention that my work or hobbies don't often interface with 3D modeling.
So I have been thinking about what makes this project so special. I think it's the fact that the community owns it. So you don't have to ask for permission to do anything. Mix that with inherently creative people who approach the tool and you get:

- tdrdt 5y agoI have been using Blender for over 15 years and I also love it but also for different reasons. When I started using Blender I came from 3DsMax. Max took almost half aminute to start, Blender maybe 2 seconds. And now, years later, Blender is still fast. The architecture is just very good. And maybe it's one of the best in the wold. A lot of people hated the UI, but I always loved it. I love that you can arrange the panels the way you like. I wish programs like Photoshop could do this as well. And yes, since v2.8 everything became even better and the learning curve was lowered. I also love all shortcuts and user interactions. This was really made for users. And maybe that's because Blender is mostly made by users. And now v3.0! I am excited about two things: Cycles X (very fast rendering) and the overhauled Geometry Nodes. I believe Geometry Nodes are the next big thing because this is Blender's answer to Houdini. Edit: if you are interested in Geometry Nodes you should check out Erindale @ YT https://youtube.com/c/Erindale https://youtube.com/c/Erindale He creates complete scenes without modeling a thing. The models are all procedurally built.

- jansan 5y agoIt has been a few zears since I used Blender, because I don't do 3D modeling anymore. But I am following its development and man, this has become such an awesome project. I would not say that I "love" Blender, but I highly admire what has become of this software that when I worked with it was actually quite hard to use.

- xmprt 5y agoI really enjoyed this talk by Captain Disillusion at the Blender Conference 2018 where he goes over some of that - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1qSTcxt2t74 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1qSTcxt2t74
- oceanghost 5y agoCaptain Disillusion is my hero. He is a fantastic storyteller, artist and skeptic.
