For the community financing I wish Blender Foundation would make at least same effort for getting money to hire new devs as for getting money for making movies. Sure some things got coded along but I would rather see all that go into development. My unpopular opinion is that in the end it would help blender more than a movie. | |

We get more when we invest more. And depending on how you're using it Blender may be all that you need, for example if you're doing archiviz or game assets Blender can be totally sufficient, but if working on Hollywood VFX maybe not so much. There are also areas where Blender outranks paid alternatives and there are plenty of people switching over to Blender too. Don't pay for other software until you're sure it can't be done in Blender. | |
| Aug 25, 2015 at 17:53 | comment | added | Jaroslav Jerryno Novotny | @Mentalist That's true but till blender will have usable tools and workflows on the same level as paid software, the openness is for nothing and blender will stay mostly between hobbyists. There comes time when blender is not powerful or fast enough and that paid software actually saves money because it saves time for the companies/you. So in the end the expensive tutoring is also worth it because you will get nice paycheck when you are good. | |
| Aug 25, 2015 at 17:36 | comment | added | Mentalist | "Know-how in paid-software communities is very guarded" ...That's funny since while those so-called communities are busy creating a scarcity of knowledge Blender will just be expanding its user base more and more. The other guys are betting on a business model based on lack, while Blender is based on abundance and openness. Anyway, good call-out about the 3D Printing Toolbox add-on! | |
