I will jump ship in a heartbeat if it suits me to do so. There are way to many variable in this crazy mixed up world in which we live in. I am at peace with the fact that I will never expect any software to stay the course. I carry this way of thinking over to software purchases.īlender has turned my head for sure, but then Maxon turn it back again. I am a tradesman too ( in real life ) and expect to pay for quality tools and have a good warranty. Money is not a concern for the right tools. I am an artist first and a technician last. I use Cinema because I was looking for ease of use. Well from my perspective, as a hobbyist who gets the odd paying gig aswell, I have no loyalty to anyone. Big studios will not use Blender but this may not be the case with individuals and small studios. I believe that their customers are small studios and individuals. What i mean is that i do not believe that Newtek or Maxon expect to sell their products to ILM, Double Negative, Animal Logic etc. Is there anyone else that considers the same thing? Do you believe that smaller companies such as Newtek and Maxon will survive.ĭo you know if there are studios out there that are using any of these tools as the base of their pipeline? I might had a different opinion if i was doing just freelancing and i could undertake larger projects along with 1-2 people. But i keep thinking if this is the right thing to do? I mean yes Lightwave is considered better than Blender right now and it has some really powerful features with version 11 but on the other hand let’s face it when you take freelancing work you usually do some minor staff and you do not use the full capabilities of your software. I am a Lightwave user when i do personal work or freelancing work and i am considering upgrading to Lightwave 11 now. (Houdini is a fantastic software but it is considered more of a specialized software, although i saw some fantastic staff at Asia Siggraph 2013 even for gaming purposes). There doesn’t seem to be anything else in the horizon that will compete with Autodesk. That’s the way it was and that’s they way it will be in the future. At my work we are using Autodesk products.

I was wondering if the rest of you people are thinking the same with me on the following topic.īlender can kill all 3d applications not under the Autodesk umbrella.įirst of all let me say something that i believe is true for most of the 3d guys in here.

Blender to c4d
