..AHAHAhAHAHAHAHAHA

Blender as a Mainstream program? Keep dreaming. This is -the worst- 3D program I have ever had the misfortune of trying to use. You guys want to get real jobs, Learn softimage XSI, or 3DS Max. What takes several hours in Blender to make, takes a few minutes in either of these..

Oh whatdo I care, this post will be deleted anyway.

I've been putting Blender on my resume for ages - for all the good it's done me, it doesn't hurt to talk about it either.

"
But the UI work required to make those features count is never done.

Blender has a hard core of fanboys that will never accept that the present UI feels wrong to most 3D artists.

And I've lost patience with Blender because of those fanboys.

Very nice work on the trailer.

But anyone who dowloads 2.45 and expects to see amazing workflow that matches the technical features advertised will not find it.

Its been that way with every Blender release.

LOL.

*sighs*

Seems like they'll never understand us… lol.

I was forward a job listing here in Southern California that required Blender experience. I got the job. It's just a four month production for a dome theater project, but it pays the rent.

There have been 2 ads over here in Denmark too where "Blender" was an requirement, so yes…winds of change indeed.

I use Blender at work as a "VITAL" tool for product-visualization too, so it's sort of "required" at our place too ;)

Bet there's lots of places that use Blender in silence… since there are no required "endorsements" or any "ad plans" like the commercial counterparts have. They usually pick someone who've done something great with "their software" - give them a deal they can't refuse (usually price-deals on software & purks) …and they can use them in their ads. The reason you don't see this in Blender is because there is literally no need for that kind of marketing with Blender…

…you use it as YOU wish - for basically whatever purpose you wish as long as it is in accordance with the GPL license of course.
