The trick is not to obsess over Blender or what Blender users are doing and just doing what works for you. Simple.

the cult of anti-blender on this board is just as bad as the cult of blender users.

i have to imagine its sunk cost jealousy or something. mad they're paying 5 sub fees for their software licenses and """ annual license maintenance fees" and shit and blender users just trundle their way along with clunky freeware that does all the same shit somewhat less efficiently

Not all. For my animations, I typically use Blender for modeling; Inkscape for graphic design (making things like signage and logos); Substance Painter & Substance Designer for texturing; Unreal Engine for scene assembly, animation and rendering and then DaVinci Resolve for editing, audio post and encoding. I'm interested in getting into Houdini as well.

blender is a trap/containment for those that do not have what it takes. thinking about it, debating its users and so forth is unhealthy.

you should very much treat blender like the "something happened in a brown people country"-part on the news: crack a dadjoke, maybe masturbate to the plight of a lower caste, then immediately forget they even exist.

Blenderuser here. I also use GIMP, Krita, Inkscape. If you do realtime 3D it's hard to get around Substance, would'nt recommend skipping it. For everything beyond simple image editing PS is still hard to top.

that 270$ in two days faggot had to start out too some day. Noobies can start without cost which makes blender appealing to hobbyists

It's all the same concepts. All tools suck. You are the professional.

Stop bitching and just do what fits best for you

PS: Maya users be like "oh no my animation is done but i need to change the bones. time to reset : (" and "let me apply history so i can work again :("

The irony is that this post is a cope.
The only Blender use that was seen in Spider-Verse was from custom scripting they did with the grease pencil. They used it to create geometry for speedlines, etc, then imported back in Maya because the animation tools in Blender suck.

I think Blender's fine for people just getting into this kind of work to make stuff, but I don't know any studios who will hire you if you only have Blender experience.

...when autodesk gets hijacked by trannies and shit, not so uncommon this days, and start to bring down the software more and more, all my invested time in the software, all my tools i programmed, everything will go down the drain too.
when the guys at blender HQ think that trannies are a good deal, i dont need to worry, because the whole code gets forked by tons of people who think different, and what ever the trannies at blender do in damage doesnt affects me! ...

...thats litterally my major point to stay at blender! when ever i like, i can install it, and keep on working on it, even when i am a fan of old school versions and shit!

...in 20 years, i can still work on 20 years old projects without any onscure payment plan, ... i realy doubts that can be sayed for most ot the other applications!

It's just a hassle to me desu. Exporting/importing isn't exactly a one-click process like you said. You still have to deal with scale issues, and the most important part is how long it takes to export. It took me ages to export a zbrush mesh to substance for baking, and sometimes it just crashes. The issues multiply the more programs you use. That's why I stopped using topogun and rizomUV, because blender already does a pretty good job with their tasks without adding more issues to my workflow. Maybe I'll ditch zbrush or substance when blender's sculpting and texturing improve.
