Why are you cheap cunts refusing to donate to Blender Foundation? This is why Blender will never become industry standard.
>>1004225>donateB-but they are not interested in moneyhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qJEWOTZnFeg&t=1422s
>>1004225I'm literally a 3rd worlder living with my parents
Should hobbyists pay for their "industry" ambitions and their pet jannies? I don't think so.And it's the same with WIkipedia, Mozilla and Gnome. Don't donate so they can downsize and get rid of bloat and corruption.
>>1004225I have never donated to anything or anyone in my life and I pirate all software and addons I use
>>1004225They have millions in corporate donations and one of them is Adobe. No they don’t need money.
>>1004230Just like nature intended.
>>1004225blender isn't industry standard because you can't throw money at the devs to fix your problems, release updates for your 4 years old version, or make them create a custom version for youwhen you buy maya and max and other tools, you don't pay for the software, you pay for the service and support that comes with ityou have nothing like that for blender, you'll need to hire your own devstelling your shareholders that you threw money at the problem is easier and more benefical than doing this
>>1004240Who ever decided that Blender needs to become an "industry standard" instead of serving the hobbyists and semi-pro market like it's supposed to? When did I vote for that? I don't want to feed their pet jannies delusions of grandeur.
>>1004225I will as soon as they stop catering to grease pencil fags and start working on porting every other modifier to geonodes
>>1004225I would donate if I made money from it.
>>1004225Because money is tight.I'll donate when I make it rich.I'll make it rich when I learn how to use Blender.I could make it rich sooner, if Blender wasn't so difficult to use.If they developed a better product, more people like me would become rich, which in turn will funnel money back up to them.
Blender has some good ideas. But, I would rather give my money to sidefx
>>1004225I actually did donate after seeing a video about it, they make fuck all compared to proprietary shit and while Blender isn't perfect they've allowed a lot of people to use 3D modelling and animation software without any bullshit.I hope they see an uptick in donations and it becomes way better in due time.
>>1004284>they've allowed a lot of people to use 3D modelling and animation software without any bullshit.dude, the only decent thing is the modelling, and even then, it is only decent. The animation is not good. When you say "without the bs" that is simply not true. If you want to animate properly you need appropriate software.
>>1004284>>1004286the modeling would've been great if the underlying code was good, maya and modo handle ngons way better, try beveling a model with an ngon in maya vs blender, doesn't work wellhere's an example:blender.stackexchange.com/questions/269312/bevel-in-blender-vs-the-same-bevel-in-mayaInseting is also bad because it sometimes moves the vetices instead of just adding two cuts like maya does, you have to use extrude or add cuts manually, which just isn't good enough booleans are vastly easier to work with in blender...when they work.you have to switch between carver and bmesh frequently because they don't work all the time Having consistent booleans, or something like mesh fusion in blender would be a dream
>>1004284It’s been 10 years since any major news and they only upgraded the rendering. They will not fix anything or create anything.
>>1004309dude stay quiet. the more people that get sucked into using blender hobby shit, the less competition there will be for jobs.
>>1004225Even if i would have wanted to donate before, after the travesty that was EEVEE-NEXT i would certainly reconsider.Kill whoever the fuck decided it was a good idea to replace normal EEVEE with it.
>>1004225Blender does not cease to exist without the blender foundation. therefore, why should I donate? plus 4.2 and 4.3 have been straight up objective downgrades, and 4.4 is looking to be more of the same. why the FUCK would I pay for a worse product? they should just ask their retarded yuro government for more shekels I'm sure they'd fall for it.
It's more or less the fault of FOSS fanatics.They PROUDLY keep posting everywhere on the net about how FREE and OPEN SOURCE and most importantly FREE EVERYTHING is. This gets ingrained so hard into the cattle mentality that most of them just think >huh, but you said it's free so why would I pay a cent? that would be really stupid, right?They have to completely change the way they communicate. Completely change the way FOSS gets "advertised".Crowdfunded software development CAN work and for the most part it already does just fine especially for Blender but again, communication needs to be addressed and the Blender foundation seems to do just that now which was about time.
>>1004325>dramatic title and thumbnail really do help...Yeah no shit. As a semi-big channel they did exactly what Youtube wanted them to do and got rewarded for it.
>>1004325the funniest thing about this is that film stop is a quintessential blender youtuber grifter. produces absolutely nothing of substance whatsoever.
>>1004329Yeah, Eevee next is incredibly clunky. Last I checked anyway. I'm going to download the latest version now and check.(4.3.2)Same problems still exist. Nothing was fixed for me. Change a shadow step, and it takes a full 60 seconds to update. Change rays, and it takes a full 60 seconds to update. Clunky mess.
>>1004365i dont even care about performance even though that is also bullshit - it's the fact that it's now castrated Cycles that angers me.I have to fiddle for lighting 10 times longer to achieve the same scene i could on EEVEE, every alpha is now hashed instead of blended, i can't just change the shadow settings of material, and the removal of Bloom checkbox was completely retarded, but not as retarded as also removing its settings as well and saying "just use compositor lmao", the real time preview of which overblows it all the time.Even worse is that barely anyone even makes an argument about it online, so i have a feeling this isn't going to change soon because of this.
>>1004228I don't donate to Wikipedia because they spend a bit part of their money on DEI, and that's a waste of money
>>1004241This, I prefer it to be this way I'm a professional and I use blender outside of work and for personal projects. But I would never use it on my job.
>>1004225Not giving a cent to Blender when I am using student versions of Autodesk products for free for the past 5 years even if I am not in school anymore. It's been already proven your gacha waifus aren't professionally made in Blender anyway.
>>1004368They had a feedback thread up for a good while. Got flooded with a bunch of complaints. Eventually they closed the thread. But I think they got the idea. They know it's a mess.
>>1004227Can I move in with you?
