Re: Has anyone moved from a commercial modeling app to Blender?
I did the opposite. Blender is an excellent tool and on par with Max except for two things: -spline modeling is still a lot better in Max -lack of good scripts for Blender, and when you find one it will be broken with next update and god knows how long till it's fixed. So it really depends on your workflow. I use splines… -
Re: Has anyone moved from a commercial modeling app to Blender?
If indie got some of the more useful scripts (Seneca, etc.) along with Substance support that would go a long way to making it more appealing in my eyes. Also, I thought there already was a rounded edge shader in Modo? On the topic of Blender, one of my frustrations is looking for a feature and being directed to a custom… -
Re: Has anyone moved from a commercial modeling app to Blender?
Blender and Modo do not have the same heart. A company that attaches DRM to your scene files, disables scripting, and imposes strict export limitations is pretty much the polar opposite of Blender Foundation. -
Re: Has anyone moved from a commercial modeling app to Blender?
Yeah, this is seriously bothersome. It's not as bad with Autodesk products because there's only a new release once a year after which you have to wait for everyone to come out with new scripts. Luckily the plugins are open-source due to Blender's GPL license, so if you know what you're doing and the plugin is important… -

Pior, totally agree on working without clicking the gizmo, such a huge workflow speed increase, it also has the middle mouse button constrain to closest axis if you press it after you start moving (although I never use it). Have you got some way to visualize the action center with the gizmo turned off? Direwolf, Jed wrote… -
Re: Has anyone moved from a commercial modeling app to Blender?
I use it as a glue program. Over the last ten years I've watched the common workflow go from being very Maya/3DS centric to a string of specialized tools, e.g. ZBrush, Substance, 3DCoat etc. and I'm more glad I'm familiar with it every year. My pipeline is Maya LT/Zbrush > 3D Coat/Substance/PS > Unreal/Marmorset/PS/etc.… -
Re: Has anyone moved from a commercial modeling app to Blender?
My 3DS Max student license runs out soon, i'll be making the switch. Everything max has done since 2009 ver has been a poor showing for me. I can't see the investment value of buying a 1 year license for them to fix bugs a in the next release and charge the upgrade fee. That said i do love my max despite it's faults, i…
