Those are different niches. Not even Apple has managed to budge Window out of corporate environments, though it is a lot more present than 20 years ago.
I imagine it's similar with Blender and Maya: do they fill the exact same space? Or is Blender adopted by different types of companies (probably smaller)?
- underscoremark 1y agoI think the questions you ask demonstrate that you already understand the issue completely.
- oblio 1y agoI'm just a noob asking questions and I'm having a very hard time detecting sarcasm on the internet these days - can you elaborate a bit, please? :-)
- underscoremark 1y agoNo sarcasm. Thanks for asking (no sarcasm, again). You asked the right questions, IMO, and I think they are self evident. > do they fill the exact same space? No. > is Blender adopted by different types of companies? Yes. A company or institution that has money to burn will opt for more "professional" suites (Maya, Microsoft, ...). Smaller entities will use the cheaper alternatives (Blender, Linux, ...).
