Autodesk is a company with employees who are willing to help (but don't always work out) as long as you pay "honestly" (the problem is that it costs more than my living expenses). Blender is *free(This is fucking important)* , but not everything is free (convenience plugins or plugins that save time on specific tasks must be purchased through individual Patreons). It lowers the hurdle for you (in other words, it means there are more content creators you have to compete with on the same program), program developed and dependent on the community with a UI that cannot be solved based on your intuition. and Adobe, I hate you, how dare you... *Arrrrr set on sale rrrr*

Big games studios use 3d max and its a really bad software

Idk I feel like the difficulty of blender is massively inflated where it’s almost equally downplayed for other programs when the disparity is actually much smaller.

First of all their style, I don't know what kind of estrus ppl get into with UE, which I love, but surely want games to feel different and I mis the sandboxy mess of the 2000s and CK provides that very well

I thought it's just a drink contents but omg it's a suprise Masterpiece.

The problems of blender is it lacks that final touches of the commercial software. The overall user experience of blender isn't very good compare to commercial software. That's why I don't like it very much.

Why this statement is actually false. game studios don't have anything against blender they actually love to not have to pay masive license fees. the problem is the education, the schools are payed to teach people to learn max maya cinema4d and else. not blender. So nope, it's just industry standards and it's changing it's been changing for the past 5 years already.

The companies that spend money in order to do tax write-offs are also the ones who fire their best designers because they found some mediocre one who cost less. These companies have people who crunch numbers until the actual value of the product or service they make goes down the drain. A long term successful company do not act like this, they balance the cost against quality and plan years ahead. Investing in Blender might require having someone in-house who's an expert in Blender, but the value is more than all of that, it's being able to use a software that is evolving faster, with an innovative community and easy ability to create custom plugins for. And the more companies start to use Blender, the more industry experts there will be and the better the exchange of knowledge that can be transferred. Just look at how Hideo Kojima and Guerrilla Games supercharged their development by collaborating with the engine. This type of collaborative attitudes between companies also cuts through the nonsense of corporate competition. Many of these number crunchers seem to believe that any collaboration with other companies would fail them a "win" on the free market. But all it does is locking themselves into a dark room in which they need to invent the wheel over and over, introducing bugs after bugs because they also don't spend enough money into investing in technical support. Using Blender is no weirder than a company using their own game engine. That's even worse in terms of technical support as that team might be extremely small. Having in-house experts as well as a well known software like Blender will have enough support available. Add to that the fact that LLMs are able to be a supercharged manual where you can ask specific questions about the software and I see no need for Autodesk's support. All of that just sounds like Autodesk marketing, creating a narrative that using anything other than their software generates chaos and problems, but with their support you "always have a friend". Nope.

With my experience with blender is a fu$king learning cliff.

People like to bag Microsoft, but their platinum support was awesome. Waking up a Redmond guy at 3am to answer some random Aussie's problem and getting a patch delivered a few hours later was absolutely a good experience.

The male VA did a terrible job (aside from when you take psycho), but the female was absolutely phenomenal.

aw yiss! I was hoping you'd do a curated summary. thanks 👍🏻

I disagree about the support argument. I mean yeah, support is important for management, but not because professional support can help with any problems (they don't), but for taking the blame. Production runs into a showstopper bug, management reports it to support and their ass is covered, regardless if it is about to be fixed or not. If they'd choose an open source software then they'd be responsible for any technical issues that comes up, and upper management won't be satisfied with an answer like "I've already asked around on reddit" even if that fixes the problem way faster. I'd also like to add an extra argument: if any management care about software license costs leave the company asap. Software is all about making your work more efficient. If management is soo short sighted that they care about one time costs more than saving money on making the workforce more efficient then the company is either under founded or led by idiots.

Heres the thing though, what they SHOULD do is take that money (10k a month!) and use it to hire two specialist programmers FROM autodesk to work entirely on reporposing and expanding the functionality of Blender. it will be worth WAY more in the end, and you could even spin off a small branch company later down the road that becomes the effective "House Support" for Blender. then you get to take all that money other companies are throwing at autodesk for yourself.

Open Source vs Commercial Sw. Same case as Linux vs the rest of the World. Big companies spent millions of dollars trying to stop it. Now its the most used Os on Internet, and Enterprise and Small and Medium Bussiness have adopted it. It's only a question of time. Microsoft and some of the most It companies around the world are gold sponsors of Blender because they use it for different purposes due to its python interface.

I think that the way blender is now, how it's evolving, and how many people are deciding to learn Blender rather than Maya, or anything else... In the future Blender will be the most used even by triple A companies. Hiring people that know Maya will be hard

90% of quests take place underground in ruins, caves, mines, house, temple etc. which is tbh very overwhelmingly annoying sometimes.

Enemies that scale to your level. What is the point of leveling then?

Thank you for the autodesk commmercial. - Autodesk

Let's all agree that Oblivion had the best game opening between the two. Rather than being forced into a civil war's mass execution, where you're immediately against the Imperials because they send you to the chopping block; Oblivion lets you experiment and see what you want to be, and actually grow connected to the emperor and the Blades.

its just works

Thank you! Every time I give advice to upcoming artists they're all like "Yeah I know blender" and I'm like "okay but do you know Zbrush, Maya, and Max?" and they're like "Uhh no. Blender does everything" and I have to explain why Blender isn't really reliable for industry work. Every studio I've worked at where we discuss Blender we end up passing on it because it doesn't inter-operate with other programs very well and it would take tons of money and work to setup custom scripts and plugins for Blender that we already have for Maya/Max/Zbrush etc. That said Blender is becoming insanely powerful and honestly as a Max user, Blender objectively runs far smoother overall. It's just a more polished, optimized, straightforward experience.

A bad artist would always point out flaws with his brush and not his ability

exact expression in the video - INFA(U)NTILE every time I try Blender with hope after 1-2 versions, I run away again in disgust, because STILL basic modelling is like in 1990 and everything basic is so UNNECESSARILY COMPLEX AND UNINTUITIVE.. it's like it's put on it's head, the last needed and detailed comes first and in front -- WHAT FOR ??? IF they are STILL NOT ABLE understand and implement the simple logic of Sketchup basic modelling and adding simple JS or Python macro programming for generation and control (up to point of creating living scenes), NOBODY cares about 'rendering capabilities and improvements' which come as last in production line and can even be done elsewhere !!! they should FINALLY - SIMPLIFY modelling copying Sketchup style - precise nondestructive parametric modelling to allow industry to use Blender as study and production tool - allow writing scripts on the fly (not using f@#$ nodes) to make own procedural objects and even games - add VR as standard feature to switch work/view in the scene and they will be praised all over !!!

When a corporation realizes how much money they would save if they forced Blender on all employees they would. All it takes is one manager to get an investment in creating a small Blender team and create some good assets and its over with.

Came in wondering why game studios avoid blender. Leaving wondering why game studios avoid blender.

Because it's shit. Blender is shit. The only thing remarkable about Blender is it's rabid fanbase.

yeah u say it hahahaha

Autodesk is to 3d as adobe is to photoshop

Some games, require pro software. modding cars in GTA requires 3ds max simply because the plugin cannot be made in blender

I felt it quiet difficult to learn Maya because I couldn't find much tutorial wise. The prof at university wasn't really helpful either so I was stuck with the scarce amount of good RUclips tutorials I could find. Blender on the other hand has a way bigger and supportive community with many problems someone faces already asked and/or quickly solved. And just a little side note, Maya's interface looks really ugly.

So you better use 5 paid softwares rather than 1 software can do everything.

Odd to hear someone say studios avoid Blender - in my experience that isn't the case. While it's not generally adopted into modelling and animation pipelines it's used prolifically in the concept phase for props and vehicles etc.

Godot has a direct connection with blender and live reimports when you open the project (if changes were made in blender)

i love blender

"After all it was EA who brought the concept (lootboxes) to videogames." Umm, sir, Maple Story and other such f2p titles were the origin of the lootbox back in the early 2000's and EA didn't have their first appearance of a lootbox until after they were proven to be successful due to aforementioned Korean/Japanese games, which in of itself, is just taking the idea of Gatchapon and putting it into a video game. Not sure if it was mentioned that EA was the one to bring them to videogames in the video as purely a joke or not, but it's just wrong information.

So 2 things. 1) every AAA studio I've been in or toured has people that use blender in some fashion. 2) Blender does have customer service and dev access support, it's called Canonical.

1. Blender has terrible UI, it does not support new windows or opening, so bad for in-company pipeline and tools. Outliner is super confusing compared to say.. Maya and unchangeable via scripting... Also there is always numbering thus makes almost impossible exporting with same names to different places. 2. Blender does not even support multi monitor setups. 3. Blender does not have an ASCII blend exporting so can be edited externally. 4. Gets too frequent API breaking updates even between minor versions, making it difficult to adapt on in-company tools.

Elegost at a certain point became very OP and perfect for farming skills point. He can attack all ennemies at the same time with sleep arrows and the ennemies cannot wake up

NGL Autodesk hurts me, but it is very convenient most times.

The major problem I see is people that get in love with old school softwares and resist to move on when something better is released 😂

Ngl….i was shocked to see how so many people actually liked the Sith Lords more than the first game. I mean…Sith Lords wasn’t “bad” imo but it felt so rushed, unfinished and unpolished. All the ones loving it so hard over the first one fail to ever mention that. I mean….its nice that they made some slight improvements along with you having deeper connections (influence) with your companions. Also Freya is hands down the most amazing character EVER MADE in Star Wars HISTORY imo. And still…..all those things weren’t enough for me to like Sith Lords over the first. Unpopular opinion I suppose…but I can go back and play the first game over and over and over again and again and again. Whenever I think of KOTOR….the first game is the only one that comes to mine. I honestly think they simply did too much with certain things with Sith Lords and the fact that it felt rushed and unpolished as well made it so much more worse for me. I’ll admit….i played KOTOR 1 back in 2004 for the very first time and KOTOR 2 for the first time 2023 on SWITCH! I don’t wanna seem biased with “nostalgia” but I really gotta play this “restored content” I’m hearing so much about. My opinion “might” shift idk. I had extremely high hopes and was very excited to finally play it. I honestly just wasn’t that happy with what was actually released. It looks and feels like a downgrade of a game compared to the first.

Also, it should be noted that Canonical offers paid professional support contracts for Blender for companies that want that.

Another reason not mentioned is that high-level executives like to wine and dine each other to get those support contracts and exclusivity deals. Basically, they bribe each other personally to make sure they get those sales.

Honestly, its totally the opposite. As a guy that worked in the industry, LOTS of people use blender. Its REQUIRED on a resume that you know a real 3d modelling program like Maya or 3ds, but once inside, you'll see most people use blender. First, because resources and tutorials are available to more people than those available from those "offical" forums exclusive answer people take days to answer to. The community overall around blender (especially the discord channel) is just so active and helpful, nothing compares to the support of that little free app. No wonder so many profesionnals makes the move from zBrush, 3ds and Maya to blender. I don't say that all other app are useless or have notoriety for a reason, but most things you claim in here are utherly wrong when it comes to its use.

I don't know, I work in game industry and I use Blender all the time. Hey, maybe it's just me. :P

TLDR: They do not

Homie exploiting Larian, they never even touched Unreal because the engine is ass... A pretty book doesn't always contain a good story...

To be honest i started thinking its becoz of the tax they have to pay, every single thing maya can do, blender does it better, there are tons of plugins out there for blender. blender is better in many ways... i don't see any reason not to use blender, fucking pipeline isn't a big thing at all as u guys make it look. I've been using all these plugins and software from years I had no issue at all putting the model in blender,maya,back to unreal...

Bethesda is worst game studio is ever
