the studio responsible for monument valley appears to be based around blender: https://www.blendernation.com/2014/04/23/monument-valley-a-stunning-ios-game-designed-with-blender/
It seems with the price Autodesk charges for things that people might start switching to other programs. I'll be interested in seeing if more small studios start adopting Blender. Already a few have. It seems as more professional work is done with Blender the more development will be put into making it fit with other…
Take your finger off the trigger guys, nobody claimed that zero studios use blender. Chris rightly pointed out that Blender accounts for a very small percentage of the professional sector, and teaching courses in Blender rather than Maya or Max at the university level would absolutely put the students at a disadvantage vs…
@radianceofOrge @Grimwolf @Bellsey Haha, there might have been some confusion. I'm not teaching college. This is elementary - high school after school stuff (And a lot of the decisions are made due to cost). Yea I don't know of any colleges teaching Blender right now. What I do see are people picking up Blender on their…
Source please. Why? This is simply not true. You're putting your students at a distinct disadvantage. Legacy tools, new tools and tech determine pipeline not someone who used blender because it was free in college. Unbelievable.
My advice to students would be that no matter what software you choose, be prepared and willing to adapt and learn other stuff. I would expect an education establishment to keep pace and understanding with the industry they're serving and train students in tools and techniques that are a known and agreed industry standard.…
please dont. You will simply make them have to learn Max\Maya\Modo since its what most studios pipeline are tailored to... You surely understand that the percentages of studios that use blender as their main pipeline packages seem to me very small (altho i am basing this on my professional experience so i only got "word…
Mmm..not completely true... I think it depends of the level of education we are talking about. I mean if it's like a 3D full paid college program, of course using Blender is not a good idea since it doesn't prepare and teach you the main tools used in the current filed but if it's introductory teaching to the magnificent…
If Autodesk is shedding Jobs due to restructuring and minimum wage increasing in some states and provinces across North America (that's when you want communism) then Maya should be more affordable; odd are it won't. It's what you know, if you're comfortable with Maya; then odds are you'll stay with it, if you are or…
