On the contrary, your project just became even more relevant. Blender badly needs an alternative/competitor. Everybody loses if a single project dominates.

- kachapopopow 1y agoblender is fortunately open-source...
- bejd 1y agoSo is Chromium. But, like with web browsers, competition is always good.
- tickettotranai 1y agoBlender is nothing like chromium. It's not made by a big company, it sprung up in an extremely for-profit niche (and it has like 4 serious competitors that are all actively in use)
- kachapopopow 1y agoand chromium is (arguably) great. lot's of great browsers are based off it at least.
- SEJeff 1y agoMaya, 3D Studio Max, Cinema 4D... Blender has a ton of competitors. They're all commercial and have corporate backing. If anything, blender is the "little guy". It is utterly amazing what Ton has managed to do with Blender.

- gmueckl 1y agoCalling Blender an underdog isn't accurate at all. It has easily the most reach and biggest use base of all of them.
- shortrounddev2 1y agoI would think Maya is the most influential of all of them. Blender is popular among hobbyists and people who aren't able to shell out a few thousand every year, but Maya dominates in the commercial world. Plus many animators are using Unreal Engine just for traditional animation now
- SEJeff 1y agoAbsolutely correct.
- SEJeff 1y agoBlender is absolutely an underdog in commercial studios. It is used, but it’s the minority tool for professional settings. There are still several areas blender is lacking compared to maya or 3dsmax.
