wrong!
BOTH MATTER, although the artist and his ability is way more important in the grand scheme of things.
A great artist CAN do great work with a shitty tool, but if the tools ability is limited it LIMITS the artist, or makes things IMPOSSIBLE.
A shitty tool WILL demand more effort and time from the artist while a great tool WILL give more efficiency, speed and therefore quality in the same time / with the same amount of effort, but ONLY if the artist is able.
On the flip-side a shitty artist will NEVER be better by using a better tool, but potentially more efficient in shitting out crap faster.
People who try to appear clever by using this ancient saying, clearly never thought about it in depth and are obviously low IQ-retards.
Just so you get a grip on reality, this saying is a retort to people blaming their tool for their own shortcomings, it makes NO sense in using it as a defence/excuse for the shortcomings of a tool you absolute shit for brains.

This does not really matter much. If one wants to use Blender and does it well as long as the work gets done no one cares in what software the models was done.

Its not about the software you use, its how well you can use your software of choice. When I look at what my peers create I see nothing that I could not do in Blender.

>>861481
Agree with this dude, I have since three years made Blender a part of my workflow and people show much interest to it when I flex with my addons.

Its probably just that many people don't have the extra time or patience and feel like why learn something they already know how to do in another piece of software.

That can be a frustrating process and feel pointless so I totally get it. Tho I don't get the fags throwing hate at software when they can't even do shit in their software of choice.

Blender this, blender that..nigga fuck blender and it's not making it into industry EVER but these retards don't care because all they do is follow a tutorial and make some stupid shit and put that onto their fagstation or slutstagram and BOOM suddenly they're 3d """"'artists""""". I saw this faggot on YouTube comments who was criticising a really good CGI sequence done in C4D by rating it 3/10 and how a "Blender user can achieve BETTER with just one year of experience" and he also linked some vid which he thought was"professional" which was literally a fucking poorly modelled Corvette in blender with worst rigging I've ever seen and his own work was equivalent to shit i used to make when I got into 3d and guess what it said on his instagram that he fucking posted in comments being a poser as all of these blendtards? "3D ARTIST". Yeah, artist my ass. fuck blender.

Houdini is laser focused towards a very specific workflow, of course it's gonna be better than a swiss army knife styled program.

The fact blender has geometry nodes so early in says alot about it though, and development speed has skyrocketed lately with the release of 2.8, with us now nearly at 3.0 stable just because they don't have to rewrite the codebase anymore.
It's not perfect, frankly because there's still tiny things that frustrate me with it. (editing modes are not separated, so if you select two adjacent vertices it thinks you want to edit an edge. or just that ENTIRE texture baker, which can fuck right off.) But I genuinely never want to go back to working in Max.

Like, for gamedev related stuff, Blender is lightyears ahead of the others. Just being able to have a simple addon for 'set flow' and 'set linear' is alot better than like sifting through Graphite Modelling Toolset in Max just to Set Flow, End Corner, or other edge flow tools (which are basically the only useful things in that bloated POS.) The worst part is the blender addon is better at doing this operation than Max on top of this.
Or how about the CONSTRAINTS system in Max? fiddly ass bullshit with helper object chains for look-ats because you can't have something look at a bone, so making an L shaped IK control is a giant pain.
I can do that exact operation in Blender in 5-10 minutes, maybe less. because it's constraint system isn't ancient voodoo shit.

so what are some points against blender as a software? forget the userbase for a second. I've been using blender for years now and was curious about this. There weren't many reasons for me to switch to max or maya or whatever. I know that animating in blender sucks compared to some other 3d editors and I don't do that anyway - what are some other drawbacks?

the basics.

>bad high poly and subdiv performance
>terrible UV
>file structure and scene system that is not conducive to working in a modular fashion (they've been working to fix this since 2.8, the other two, not so much).

most of these are not a huge problem for personal work and is more of a thing that becomes a problem at scale, working with other people or really just when you get into more complex stuff yourself.

I don't consider bad rigging and playback speed to be a huge issue because maya is literally the only standout option for character animating anyway.

I personally wish they'd just focus on improving the tools or the one market that already likes them (game enviro artists) but nah we gotta get by with 2-3 different UV addons and shit.

Blender lowers the barrier of entry but does not lower the learning curve. It lets normies in but rather than climbing the learning curve, the normies half-ass it and demand things be easier for them. It's like smartphones and the internet, or 4th edition rules in d&d.

Blender user here. Normally I only hard surface model in blender and tried to get into sculpting however it is still shit. My theory is that blenders sculpting sucks ass.

What is the basis for this ? Dynotopo is retarded and was shilled yet not one of these fagots used it fully.

Then Voxel remasher is implemented and dynotopo is drooped like hot garbage.

So what is the moral here ? These gurus will shill what the new thing in blender is despite it being trash. I suspect sculpting in blender is ass and other tools do it better.

What about rendering ? I have no idea I'm a modeler not a fucken fagot !

Also this ads to my theory https://youtu.be/0oR6Hw08hH8?t=239 look at the end result. Yea I can not get anything in blender that does not look like its made out of molten plastic.

All brushes in blender suck and I hate them all.

Also very nice model. All made in blender ?

It has become something like a meme answer, a throwaway line people use to shut up opponents by implying their argument isn't worthy without proving how great their own work is.
If you post your work then, it'll get shat on no matter how good it is.
You're making a good point, that there are many LARPERS here, probably the same type of people who behave in such a way.
>All made in blender ?
Yup, 100% modelled in Blender, Textures done in Substance Painter, Gun rendered in Cycles, Corridor is in UE4.
>I like to see the topology especially of the holes. Are they modeled in or are you using some shaders ?
As you can see its all modelled in. Shaders would fail pretty much in this case as the holes are pretty deep and a shader wouldn't give the same quality shadows and AO, with the right angle you can actually see through some holes.
In regards to topology, I am not an autist who is obsessed with it, going for serviceable not perfectionism.
It could probably be better in some places, but I am more of an concept modeller than an production modeller.
>Good picture.
Thanks, I am currently waiting for my new PC to arrive, then I throw this whole environment into UE5, it will probably look much better when rendered with Lumen.

Not for modelling unless you want to do SubD modelling with high density meshes and need the performance advantage. Maya's biggest advantage is in animation, if you need a better program than Blender for modelling use Max or Modo.

If you have access to both, maybe get both and evaluate them yourself then decide, nothing beats first hand experience.
On the other hand I dislike Max for various reasons, I personally use Blender and Maya. Max is very powerful, but also kinda unique and absolutely fucking bloated.
I don't gel with its style of workflow/mindset nor its default shortcuts, but from ALL 3D software it is the most powerful when it comes to modelling, just like Maya is the best when it comes to animation. Blender is not really great in either, but serviceable and often enough (that's why I use it).

You're overthinking things. It's actually really simple. There's currently a lot of hype around Blender so of course this board's users have to be contrarian about it for the sake of it. They also don't buy shit. They just bulk-pirate everything ~industry standard~ they can find and sit on a pile of downloads of which 99% they don't even use. On top of it the majority seems to not even be legal yet to visit this site.
Blender lacks a ton of shit to make the resulting workflow as fast and efficient as with a lot of industry leading software but that is no secret to anyone and if you're a poorfag and still have to do some freelancing, it gets the job done if you know how. Again, most "hate" here comes from bored catch-phrase spouting underachievers.

I'll have you know I graduated top of my class at the California Institute of Arts, and I've been involved in numerous Michael Bay movies, and I have over 300 confirmed animations. I am trained in gorilla rendering and I'm the top animator in the entire US Maya forces. You are nothing to me but just another target. I will wipe you the fuck out with topology the likes of which has never been seen before on this Earth, mark my fucking words. You think you can get away with saying that shit to me over the Internet? Think again, fucker. As we speak I am contacting my secret network of clients across the USA and your Artstation account is being traced right now so you better prepare for the storm, maggot. The storm that wipes out the pathetic little thing you call your 3D career. You're fucking dead, kid. I can animate anywhere, anytime, and I can critique your work in over seven hundred ways, and that's just with my bare hands. Not only am I extensively trained in modelling, but I have access to the entire arsenal of overpriced software and I will use it to its full extent to wipe your miserable ass off the face of the industry, you little shit. If only you could have known what unholy retribution your little "clever" comment was about to bring down upon you, maybe you would have held your fucking tongue.

not gunna lie, i'm on a pretty old set up with the only updated things really being the PSU and GPU. everything else is about 7-8 years old, and i'm still having a pretty decent time making projects and scenes with higher vert counts. i get that some people can be obnoxious about what programs they use, but don't close everyone who uses that program under the same roof. and especially don't do it like that. as far as asset making goes, it's pretty on par with whatever you could ever want from a 3d software, sculpting is rough sometimes, but you can always just use another program for that, textures too if you so choose to. it all doesn't really matter at the end of the day so long as you're improving on your skills, as a 3d artist and understanding the tools that work best for you and your workflow. if this goes over your head. that's pretty well it, man.

i mean it's not really so much of a throwaway line as it is just a general call to step up. for 3d, i don't really thing I could ever care someone's criticism seriously on here till i saw what they could really do because i (and probably a lot more people) are used to seeing backwards ass explanations of how things could be done better without actually giving any incite or real opinion. so many people here just go straight for the throat like you've insulted them on the deepest level you could possibly do just because you posted your work and they didn't personally like it. fuck, some people probably just do it to troll. when i saw post one or two things from your portfolio, i genuinely mean it because i want to see if i can at least learn a shred of something from someone who's being an outright dick to me for no real reason. at the very least, it'd be considerate for some people during some situations if it's an actually serious thread or topic. you know what i'm trying to get at?

blender guy here. tried learning 3D a decade ago after pirating C4D and got nowhere. started again in blender 5 years ago and now i actually get work and my shit isn't too bad. whatever *it* is, blender makes a lot of things that are needlessly difficult a lot easier, yes it absolutely doesn't have everything that maya or C4D have, and Cycles can be limited. but you can get 90% of the way there in blender, 100% there if you have add-ons to replace other softwares' functions.

realistically speaking, there are two type of people here who shits on blender.
The first is the most pathetic one, is people that just endorse board culture, they have no artistic skills or maybe the try to learn Maya but they will never make it because they believe tools make the difference instead of mastering principles.
The second category is rare but they exist and it's people who started to use Maya when it was the best option, they're past 25 and possibly lost neuroplasticity so their brain can't build new neural links to accept something new, or accept something changing, they will probably lose their job the moment a new workflow comes out and will become bitter oldfags.

It's 100% the first one. A lot of oldfags like Vitaly and even the CGI director of the old Silent Hill games have shown fondness towards Blender even if they don't use it personally. Anons on here just want to prove something(to themselves via others) by displaying snobby elitism when in reality it's all cope from their lack of skills. I mean this is something that has been said well enough already on here.

Operate with large scenes and simulation for one.
Blender has terrible optimization and chugs with a scene that any other software would consider moderate.
Not having more in-depth tools that dedicated packages like z-brush and Substance have.
Being a general program is good for low to medium level work but you're really missing out on what specialized pro packages come with built in.
UV mapping in Blender really fucking sucks out of the box too, the only real benefit I find with Blender is the really strong community support and learning tools

High cost of 3DCG packages and incredibly centralized media industry with equally centralized cash flow generates astronomically high levels of sunk cost fallacy.
If there are two companies producing 3DCG tools and two companies producing 3DCG using those tools, working for one studio means your pay is reliant on half of the media industry and your tooling is reliant on half of the tooling industry. The same is true if you work for one of the tooling companies. If you work for "the industry", half of its cash flow is costs sunk into what you know. You may acknowledge the other half as the other half of the industry, but an open unorganized community of tooling developers and content creators that cannot be stopped with money will threaten your expectations of return on investment.

You don't know what the fuck you're talking about as evident by the fact that software cost is dwarfed by salary and hardware cost and only makes up a VERY minor factor on the cost list needed for production in the media industry.
High cost for specialized tools is offset by a the margin of profit for these jobs and is paid directly by the customer and only needed on demand when actually doing jobs.
Not to mention the fact that 75% of tools are being produced by companies that use them themself and become products after being successfully tested and applied in the industry for years.
>an open unorganized community of tooling developers and content creators that cannot be stopped with money will threaten your expectations of return on investment..
The industry is operating in an capitalist system, the fact that Blender and other open source tools are not used in the majority is evidence enough that your stupid worldview is far from the reality on the ground.
Thinking that the pencil pushers and profit oriented suits in the industry are all making a huge mistake in their calculation and all of them got it wrong but you know better should actually cue you in, but I guess your are just an retard with massive amounts of Dunning Kruger who has zero understanding of economics and the industry as a whole.

I lovED Blender 2.49; but Blender 2.50 was a 3dMax Wanna Be.

They change the interface all the time. I was very adapted to Blender 2.49; I made so many good works. But you know what happens in OpenSource Softwares, who comes one developer, once the opensource software is perfect, he comes to change everything and create thousands of bugs. One recent example: OliveVideoEditor - an amazing free video editor software, and its last version is bullshit.

This is a heart I did in Blender 11 years ago :D.

The only one good point about Blender, is that it contains 3d modeling, rendering, video editor and game engine - ALL-IN-ONE; and FOR FREE.

That's something the rest of 3d modeling tools can't compete.

Ive been using blender for nearly 10 years now. I also use 3dcoat and zbrush in my workflow. Ive recently started learning Maya as a side course from a few industry pros in my country so that I could change my workflow dynamically by the needs of the studio i'll be working with(most studios here use Maya). Here are my conclusions:
Maya:
Good for complex rigging, animation
Horrible for everything else(compared to blender)
Its very slow when it comes to uv and shading and crashes without any abuse so much that you fear making a single step without saving. I honestly dont find a sane reason to switch for any particular modeling or uving solution. You can also mimic the famed "Make live" mode with a few modifiers and snap settings in blender. Oh did I mention that its a nearly completely destructive workflow? No modifier stack makes it hard to prototype and work out proxies lightning fast(which blender and Max would allow).

tldr Blender is the best modeling solution ive used. Live unwrap makes UVing a breeze and Eevee is great for technical or game artists and is the best lookdev there is in the general market today. Its also relatively stable compared to other, non free suites.

It's good software but the userbase could finish more stuff and be less annoying about it and work on their own shit instead of being little blender cultists.

I use blender, love using it, it has shortcomings but I've worked with fragmotion and milkshape back in the day so im not very fussed with it. I ignore most blender news/youtube channels as they're shit and/or selling some addon or just don't know art at all. They know technology but their artistic skill are lightyears behind.

But Blender couldn't do a lot of what is capable now which other software has had for years.
The retopology tools and UV mapping tools are incredibly lackluster in Blender. Only when using addons and even then, it can get the bare minimum done when working on complex objects.
Blender is constantly updating and has a lot of community support but it hasn't always been the be all end all replacement of Maya, Cinema 4D, Nuke X, Substance, etc.
