With the new hair system introduced in latest version which made xgen obsolete, there is no reason to use Maya anymore.
Come home, white man.

I don't think it's about picking the software with the best tools. People learn Maya because that's what the job descriptions ask for.
I'd think Autodesk does whatever it can, business-wise, to ensure schools and studios keep using their software, even if it's not their preferred choice. But that's just conjecture, I'm a hobbyist.

He's right, though. With Blender you still have to pay to develop new features in your time. And boy, do the new features ever get developed. This is a crushing blow to XGen and whats more, it will likely end up being more stable as far more deveopers can look why it crashes in its early days as the source is avaliable. Thats the big problem I have with a lot of my paid autodesk apps and why I wont pay again and renew - crash after crash, unexpected behavior leading to a crash, you name it.
Paid software means you are poor and cant spend the time with open source.

It quite literally is. You have a specific idea in mind (for example, list every prime number from 1 to x) and the faster it completes without throwing an error, the (objectively) better it is.

anon - hear me out :
you want to create a program so you dont have to do something by hand every time such as color an array of pixels based on a specific condition.
speed is a factor, but there are more factors at play such as which method or methods to use to determine that final colored pixel, how legible and understandable your code is, and how well it fits within your current pipeline. This is my job. This is the artistry of what I do.
Other people such as UI artists do similar things. They are also artists. When you program a 3d application and you are potentially open sourcing it and putting it up on github that "result" is a "work" of art that other people can judge based on its
>1) speed
>2)readablity / legibility
>3)ability to be placed in their pipeline >4)uniqueness
Take your prime number example and give up.

Blender is still way behind on their features.

And i am a senior developer, no one calls us artist. You are a fake programmer, you can't handle basic programing. "Speed is a factor" my ass, anyone who tries to cheat with libraries instead of making it get's sent to PR to explain themselves why such junk is allow.

There is no such thing, if it's not on google and my years of experience and my corp overloads don't acknowledge the title, then it's not real. The title comes from Ubisoft developers who work on environmental and coding, not whatever you are saying.
>>924933
First major problem is that this: https://github.com/AcademySoftwareF
This is not ok with my Corp overlords I found an article explaining why: https://softwarefreedom.org/resourc
>With that in mind, the decision was made that Blender will no longer stick to the VFX Reference Platform.
If blender couldn't find a way to use it then neither can my actual job or jobs around VFX.
https://code.blender.org/2022/02/vf
No i don't care how you bully Blender to implant it again, No my company does not want to downgrade Python, you are crazy.
I dont know who these people are or what this program is, so i dig around and it was started in 2014 so ya it's a young unknown company. One article says only 60,000 respond vs 1 billion VFX users. Not a big number.
About this non-profit "Visual Effects Society", they just do dumb awards. Never actually heard of them from any profficanimal VFX artist i worked with. I hear the Academy Award is way better because you can on TV. Cant find anything saying they are legit non-profit, they do not release this information that they must do by law. So i'm not going to forcibly ask the IRS where the non-profit papers are and waste both our time. This is what i can only find on them: https://projects.propublica.org/non
You show me that you trusted a very suspicious company, if you were my employer you'll be under Incompetence.

You mean Sony Pictures you dumb fk: https://opencolorio.org/old/License
Then got brought by Linux community, ya you show how loved the project is to everyone. Dead project by it's creators.
openVDB dead project by Dreamworks, ASWF took it in 2012.
OpenSubdiv was O\owned by Disney Pixar, dead project.
Do you see the pattern, they are dead projects and were used as promotional "support". No common everyday folk is going to build these useless junk libraries.
- OpenColorIO useless color helper, oh boo hoo cant write your own simple code colors or you too useless to know why certain colors dont work in certain areas in your job. Do you job correctly not rely on one thing, my company wont hire useless people.
OpenVDB - useless old data math with a 50% of failure. That 50% is just enough to not be allowed to ever be used by any professional. I dont know much about the 3D arts since it's not my job but i never heard anyone use this useless thing. I'm sure someone at dreamworks would say many bad things about it.
OpenSudbiv again not something in my job because we only code not make films. Still it's straightforward to understand why pixar wants it gone. A useless liberty that removes models lines or faces which is almost what every company offers. The reason this is bad is because Disney license is attached to this project. No one is going to use it, no one.
>>925119
Blender was bully by the people to reinstall it, as i said, the blender developers are lazy. They will not do research on why such a thing is bad.
This still does not address the scam company you fail to notice, you fail to give answers to why someone must give up security and other supported optimized code for VFX platform, fail to answer anything about why you should be called tech artist.
The examples you give and the job you talked about are called Video Technician.
