The studio that had built a pipeline with Blender as a major component, and took part in a few productions distributed through Netflix. It was also building the Hydra implementation of Cycles and a forked version of the renderer for use in different applications.

What do you expect from a company that used Blender? The fact that they switched to Maya showcases the heightened trait of insecurity in a Blender user. It accentuates the dimwitted buffoonery that the Blender user holds. This is a good thing, not a bad one - Blender users being genocided by Capitalism is one of the greatest hallmarks of Darwinism there is.

There's going to be growing pains in any pipeline that has a major shift like this.
This was just retarded timing. It has nothing to do with software.

Look at the shit Bioware got for Anthem. it was absolute trash because they were forced to use an engine they weren't comfortable with, and they weren't given time to get familiar with it. So they had to build a game while getting familiar with the engine. By the time the deadline rolled around, all they had was a fucking alpha that they released to consumers.

That's right, those Blendoids didn't care about showing blender can be good because they switched willingly to Maya and Houdini: the industry standards to almost all media. If they actually cared, both corporate and worker alike they would have stood their ground and used Blender. But because Blendoids are weak and cowardly individuals, the company died due to a wishy washy attitude and poor Blendoid leadership. Had they just developed it on the side and then brought their workers up to speed like any sane regular corporate overlord, these Blendoid users wouldn't be out of a job, and this Blendoid company may very well still be up and running.

It sounds like mismanagement, as others said it's a bad, bad idea to switch core elements in the pipeline in the middle of production. Why they switched, I don't know, but I guess it might have to do with the limitations of Blender regarding complex rigs, fur, and cloth.

Anonymous at Thu, 5 Aug 2021 15:57:17 UTC No. 842757

>>842748
there are far more limitations on dealing with fur, cloth with a second software since the pipeline becomes one way only. maybe you can get away with fur but cloth can go wrong in many ways implementing houdini only for that is shooting yourself in the foot as you’ll bleed more money in each iteration. houdini cloth is not that special as blender does the same and more already, id argue even maya cloth is a better option if your rigs and animation are done in maya.
jumping between software with cloth is absolute masochism

I know all you blendlets want to blame the change in software for the closure, but the reality is they HAD to change software in order to support a big enough pipeline for all the work they took on. The real mistake was taking in more work then their blender pipeline could handle. This wouldn't have been a problem if they had switched from blender much earlier.

If you need to hire more professionals you need professional software, they couldn't take 1-2 months of training to make them work in blender, you have to add that the program is slow as fuck doing lots of things like Driver Constraints, Animation Layers etc....

what an utter nonce take. You can see the fake and gay artist is just that, a phoney faggot desperate to blame everyone else but himself. That Netflix movie was total trash with the animations being the most failed abortion I've seen in years. Their art was literal copy paste globohomo cancer and there was literally nothing, not a single thing, special or appreciable about them. They failed because of mismanagement, mediocre artists, and switching important software while there were deadlines which obviously destroyed any capacity the midwit workers capacity to output anything since they were just modern boomers, used to one single way with no flexibility whatsoever.
I'm glad they're gone and any company producing this absolute disgusting piece of fake ass globohomo 3d animation deserves to be jobless and much worse.

Lived in the area that Tangent was in, all 3D courses in that city only teach Maya, Cinema4D, and ZBrush. Not a single school will touch Blender.
So if anything, they probably decided to go with the software that all their hires were already taught in, instead of spending months training them in something else.
