Joining at the maximum membership level for companies, which means Netflix is committing at least €240,000 per year.
>>1025139Meaning they can pay 2-3 devs to fix shit
>>1025139oh god now they're going to waste even more time on eevee and grease pencil and other useless shit instead of fixing their animation system to be actually usable for games
>>1025143Damn yeah true that's why games are shit now
>>1025143>https://x.com/Blender/status/2016209378127352253>This support will be dedicated towards general Blender core developmentIt shouldn't be
>>1025143>for gamesThe blender team is not interested in games, or 3d printing or architectural visualization or whatever, most of the shits that they have done for these things have been paid directly, like the fbx exporter that it was paid by epic, the blender development is driven by the needs of the blender studio.
>>1025147Now the ceo can buy a yacht like other millionaires.
That reminds me, just read an article mentioning it was used for the Chainsaw Man movie's backgroundshttps://cgworld.jp/special-feature/2601-mappa-osaka-mouse.html
>>1025149>needs of the blender studio.for more free money from retarded cultists
>>1025162anon... 240k€ is not yacht money
>>1025169You can get a decent one for that price
>>1025163Everyone can clearly see there is no buildings in official movie poster. Why do you always lie!
>>1025143You can check this year's targets:>video sequencer improvements>3D brush, and the beginning of layered textures.> Non-Photorealistic Rendering >animation layers in the Action Editor>Cycles texture cache & Scene Layered Compositing>Project Setup>More node shits>Androidhttps://www.blender.org/development/projects-to-look-forward-to-in-2026/They ofc wont do half of this shit as always.
>>1025163It's very popular in pre-viz and I've seen it in a few anime credits like GQuuux and others. There were a lot of articles about how it was used in Cinderella Grey's development and I think some scenes
>>1025172blender always drops an update on the same day the new year's maya version drops in some weird competition or spite, so it looks like their development cycle is ordered around fucking with autodesk for some reason
>>1025180I would still use max/maya over blender. The material slot with submat system is soooo much more intuitive than blender for me.I was forced to use 3ds Max 8 for game modding about 2 years ago and I fell in love with it despite it's age. Rigging and animation made much more sense, everything is a smooth process, and animations played out smoothly with zero lag. Modifier system is great. Biped skeletons, hell yeah. Overall it felt like the software was made for games than Blender itself which I couldn't like. I'd definitely stick to modern Max/Maya when I finish the mod.
>>1025187
>>1025188I would only prefer if modern version kept the classy UI look of the older ones like this, looks much better IMO.
>>1025139>€240,000I hope they hire that faggot from Ucupaint to make the layers.
>>1025172>Multiresolution spike fixesI want to stay positive and optimistic, but it doesn't look good for multires if they're only focusing on fixing the bug
>>1025193they wanted to add atributes too > vertex colors, I suppose it will depend on the time that it will take to fix the spikes and the other bugs, no performance news afaik.https://projects.blender.org/blender/blender/issues/107118
>>1025195>vertex colorsAnd sculpt layers
>>1025187>The material slot with submat system is soooo much more intuitive than blender for me.It's always the most bullshit and complicated excuses that people like you give grace to a program for then shit on blender when it's not even half as complex for. Truly baby duck syndrome
>>1025212>Truly baby duck syndromei started out with blender for my first two years as a beginner
>>1025195vertex colors already exist though? what are you talking about?
>>1025220About vertex colors support in multiresolution.
>>1025139>Blender’s open-source software has grown from an open-source, grassroots tool into a professional-grade CG suite used across animation and VFX.Blender was a closed-source private company professional 3D tool before it went open-source. Do the tiniest bit of research before you start typing bullshit on your little blog ffs.
>>1025238>professionalit was an inhouse program used by the studio that Roosendaal has in the late 80s and that's it.
>>1025244Yeah that is it, it was a professional inhouse tool in a professional animation company. You argumentative smoothbrain.
>>1025245>Roosendaal was a professional
>>1025238>little blogcartoonbrew is 21 years old.
>>1025249That makes it worse.
>>1025139how long before they shoehorn woke shit into blender?
>>1025262Only black materials from bow on
>>1025276lmaoooo
>>1025262the start cube is replaced by a george floyd bust
>>1025193>but it doesn't look good for multires if they're only focusing on fixing the bugoh anon, if you only knew how long that russian faggot sir-gay has been trying to deal with that shit>inb4 it's another guy getting his ass kicked nowwho cares, mulitresbug 2 - openasshithole devs 0>>1025172aaaaaaand they still wont fix that damn brush even if Pablo the source code for it, fuck them>androidfor what purpose?????
