What's the work flow for mega budget 3D animation like?
I can't imagine they're using stuff like blender

I'm curious if industry veterans help blender catch up to features that are in the cutting edge software but not open source beginner friendly stuff. It seems like that should theoretically be possible, minus the raw rendering power big companies have

You mean try to help blender but the developers refuse to update blender to more stable version and allow amature people to add random broken code because the main developers are too lazy and old to admit their mistakes.

i know that they all use their own software to lock people in an ecosystem, but is there anything publicly available that could even theoretically make something that looks this good?

What, specifically, do you think should be changed in the codebase? Can you link me to some source files and explain what the more effective architecture would be?
I strongly suspect that you're talking out of your ass, probably parroting somebody else who was talking out of their ass.
If you know what they're doing wrong, explain exactly what they should be doing instead, and what changes in particular you want to make to the codebase.

If you made your changes and pushed them upstream, then that would indicate that there isn't a problem, because you got your changes integrated.

All tools that studio use are available to public in most cases, except some renderers(pixar, or soon dreamworks are exception)
but you can achieve anything with correct shading and post production anyway.
Just lookat job offers at studio positions and watch what they require in knowledge.

Well the first clear problem for any programmer is having blender code be clean, when a developer expects something like buttons to be next to other buttons but it doesn't go to the button area.
Blender has security problems:

Blender has not fix anything related to your security. It's amazing that blender fans have not been attacked by someone they trust so much. It's only a matter of time until someone does find a way to control though open source only programs.
Lastly, the developers themselves as explain, they do nothing, it's the community that updates it not them. They need to be removed from power.

I am a programmer. Can you give me an example of what you mean? This doesn't read clearly to me. I can easily make a button next to other buttons. I don't know what "the button area" means when the interface has tons of buttons.
> Blender has security problems:

"has", as of 11 years ago. Sounds like a general trade-off of having scripting available. How do Maya and 3DS bypass this while keeping scriptability? Is this an open problem in Blender?
> List of known Security Vulnerabilities (by remote control): https://www.cvedetails.com/vulnerab
two within the past 4 years, and they're a bounds check and an integer overflow. Not a serious concern, really.
> Blender has not fix anything related to your security
Blender can't fix anything. It's a 3D graphics program. It's not a programmer.
> It's amazing that blender fans have not been attacked by someone they trust so much
If you download random blend files off the internet, one could possibly be malicious, but how many people have "google for a model and download and open a random blend file" as a part of their actual workflow? That's basically the attack vector for all of this.
> Lastly, the developers themselves as explain, they do nothing, it's the community that updates it not them. They need to be removed from power.
This makes no fucking sense, given that the developers are the community, and the community is the developers. It's a community project. This statement reads
> Lastly, as the developers themselves explain, they do nothing, it's the developers that updates it not the developers. The developers need to be removed from power (and replaced by the developers).
It's nonsense.

You're the nonsense, what do you mean you cant understand clean code. Every programmer who has actual experience knows the awful coding becomes random at sometimes.
Just today i had to fix MediaWiki by removing the warning text that appears in 1.3.1 with a code that isn't part of MediaWiki. Then upgrade it and remove it. The code is never clean.
Maya and other 3D programs fixed it: https://www.autodesk.com/trust/secu
https://metaseq.net/en/release_note
Blender has zero acknowledgement about it
The concern is the people believe the blender files are safe. They are not safe, they are the most easy way to get people to download remote control access without knowing. People believe blender too much to even second guess the blender file.
Blender has programmers, yes they can fix it.
Blender is only for hobbyist, the number of times this happens us unknown because again people believe in blender too much to second guess. Autodesk and other 3D companies have real responsibilities to deal with. Actually compare to it, Blender doesn't even protect you because in the terms of use, you will take responsibility for blender mistake, just read it, you'll hate blender for it. Maya software agreement has something in the lines of protecting you because you are paying them $5000 a year so they might as well.
Oh yes people in blender do copy of each other, way more than i seen in other programs. They held contest on youtube, give it away in deviantart, forums, etc. So yes. it's a real problem that can happen.
Do you not understand basic programing leadership 101. Think anon think, someone has control of the code being added to the main software, why would anyone let an entire world mess with it every day to the point of breaking it.
These are the developers, the leaders who are holding blender back.

their storytelling is horrible. Also, no one and I mean no one is interested in buzz light year anymore. I think Pixar is facing an existential crisis - they have no ip that is even remotely considered cool, especially by young males
