Nobody believes that.

Blender is a do-it-all generalist program that satisfies the entire 3DCG pipeline. It's never going to be as good for a specific task as a specialist program that's focused primarily on one single aspect of production.

Its strength lies in fact that the user doesn't have to jump between a litany of different programs and formats to get something done, and that it can step in to replace any piece of specialist software that a production is lacking for whatever reason.

For free.

Have you never heard the expression "jack of all trades, master of none"? That's exactly what Blender is while Zbrush is the master of one, jack of none.

I'm a Blendlet and I call bullshit, you can get some work done but who the fuck thinks a generalist tool is going to be better than a specialized one?

OP, you need to get gud, lmao pleb.

1 million polys is a perfect vertex density for a character sculpt.

>but I need 10 million
You can fake high density surface with a normal map from a 2D textured painted on armor paint.

While Blender still doesn’t have a feature complete, functioning USD import and main hope is Nvidia doing it instead. It’s not just an important feature, it’s a very fucking important feature, extra important for Blender so it can slot itself into any pipeline where you don’t need all the specialised tools in existence and can do with few/one of them while Blender covers the rest. This is so fucking laughable it’s unbelievable unless Nvidia is willing to do the lifting, and it took Houdini some time to get things working afaik so it might be yet another endless tale of “open software” not working with anything but itself and bunch of other no name FREE toys.

It's not that it's "as good", but it's prob good enough for most peoples purposes.
I've Tried it out a lot recently and I'm impressed.
Always hated using Zbrush because that fucking interface so I used to be a mudbox user.
If it's all you do being a sculpt monkey it's prob fine because you get to live with it.
But if you are a generalist that does everything jumping around whenever you get back to it after a few weeks
it's beyond horrible.

Recently I find myself firing up blender for all my sculpting needs.
If you're doing something hyperdetailed that require you to go past the 10 million mark
it's no good, blender has poor performance, but for detailed character muscle anatomy and such it's perfectly fine.
I like to do my skinwrinkles and fine detail in texture rather than geometry anyways.

What I lose in capability I gain back in sanity and satisfaction from the "Pixol-can-go-fuck-themselves"
smile I get from ear to ear on my face whenever I'm sculpting outside Zbrush.

Yeah sure retards you can cope all you want with the "it's a generalist software!!", but in reality there is no professional work out there that only use one program for their entire workline, every software focus on a specific aspect, which is why there's a shitton of "industry standard" programs out there, that doesn't make Blender "not as good but capable of doing all of them", it makes it shit in all the categories in which only amateurs would find "good enough".

You will never be a real troll. You have no punchline, you have no beliefs, you have no creativity. You are a memechud twisted by lack of hygene and friends into a crude mockery of nature’s perfection.

All the “validation” you get is two-faced and half-hearted. Behind your back people mock you. Your parents are disgusted and ashamed of you, your “friends” laugh at your morbid appearance behind closed doors.

Trolls are utterly repulsed by you. Thousands of years of evolution have allowed trolls to sniff out frauds with incredible efficiency. Even shitposters who “pass” look uncanny and unnatural to a troll. Your bone structure is a dead giveaway. And even if you manage to get a drunk troll home with you, he’ll turn tail and bolt the second he gets a whiff of your diseased, infected brain.

You will never be happy. You wrench out a fake smile every single morning and tell yourself it’s going to be ok, but deep inside you feel the depression creeping up like a weed, ready to crush you under the unbearable weight.

Eventually it’ll be too much to bear - you’ll buy a rope, tie a noose, put it around your neck, and plunge into the cold abyss. Moderator will find you, heartbroken but relieved that he no longer has to live with your unbearable shame and disappointment. He’ll bury you with a headstone marked with 9gag logo accompanied by stolen overlay, and every passerby for the rest of eternity will know a humorlet is buried there. Your body will decay and go back to the dust, and all that will remain of your legacy is a skeleton that is unmistakably not a troll.

This is your fate. This is what you chose. There is no trolling back.

/prod/ thread argues about DAWs, and FL Studio is at Blender's status while big bois use industry standard tools. /wdg/ fight each other over different different frameworks while on top of that non-webdev programmers act superior towards webdevs etc. etc. /p/ is especially disgusting though, I stopped visiting it fairly quickly.

Wha... What?

I don't really care about what software you use, but I know for a fact that cost is never really a deciding factor for any kind of software unless you just don't know how the internet works.

I've pirated Zbrush, Maya, Topogun and about 10 other programs and never once had any issues whatsoever.

What are you talking about, I'm saying you need to buy your licenses when you freelance for serious studios, not pirate them. Blender is one (and only) pieces of the pipeline where a lot of freelancers can save some money, especially when the alternative is ridiculously expensive in comparison (Autodesk). Adobe, Zbrush, Marvelous etc. are fine, can't really beat those anyway.

Nobody says Blender is better than any paid software, the one delusional is you to think we say shit like that. What makes Blender "better" than those softwares is that you can achieve very close results for free through lenghty and extenuating work, although you still end up paying a shitload of add-ons to actually get (yet close) but easier.
