its all fun and games till the day comes where an AI can create a game within minutes that are as good as some of the best selling games like baldur gate 3 and is made by one person

Additionally paying for software produce costs. Such costs can be tax deductible, can lower your income and in result there will be less tax to pay. Additionally some comets here said that blender is not in pipeline and it's true. Everyone on team has to know how to operate within it. Nevertheless there are a lot of indie studios that use Blender so the future of it is right there.

deepseek

nice

Unreal Blender 5 should become a real thing

so if this gets 10M views, will we see a $10K check sent over???. i'll watch this 100 times to do my part

Man... everything is going to be extremely generic and boring

why does everything need to make income? i really dont get the human requirement that everything needs to be profitable. its retarded

I am just a starter at blender. I am blendering for maybe 4 months now. I hit the like and subscribe button so just donate 10 cents from me now. Once I earn I will surely donate money to blender. I promise brother.

Why not sell a commercial license for industrial applications and have a free license for personal and individual users? In this way, they can have some sustainability in inward cash flow.

2:02 damn blender made only 3 million from donations compared to maya’s 5 billion??! jeeez, poor blender 😢 😔

*clickbait*

Respect bruv❤

Blender <3

When you support Blender you stick it to Autodesk This is a good thing :)

I love how this software was made free for artists to learn and hone their creative skills. Blender is the goto software for anyone stepping into this industry. I will definitely donate if it's for a good cause

Huuuuuuge bias on this video!

Learning geometry nodes covers most of the stuff, but it makes it a bit complex ?

the thumbnail is completly clickbait you put "its our fault" when it was not

They deserve even more...

Guys hold out, when I start making money, I’m donating thousands.

Why should we pay for it if USAID pays for dances in Irelad? Epic and Nvidia should make another donation. I bought the Creature Factory DVD back in the day, that's as far as my support will go. I don't the recent changes to the software which added annoying mouse clock UIs and the changes to the rendering engine. Blender 2.71 was the best version.

$Blender$ just donated 25,00€ How much do they need, or is Blender in serious trouble in the foreseeable future?

Blender is just more accessible. But maya at least doesn't require different version for specific models

Embark Studios uses it and they're creating some of the best things out there.

He is a legend

It's about the pipeline

5-3 to Blender. Lol! It’s got nothing to do with the reasons you give. As a cgi industry company lead I would need ppl committed to deadlines, to be in close contact with the supplier, having a key account manager allocated, a single point of contact, outstanding support for my cgi artists preferably around the clock. But most important of all: No worries regarding a production pipeline!

‘We’re on a dead hard headline and need to deal with a bug within 24 hours. Can you give us the name of our Blender account single point of contact, and our key manager for our account? No?’

Oh come on, it’s quite obvious. I don’t even know where to begin.

You have to think bigger. You have to have a larger vision for yourself. What will never get you money is: hopelessness fear Pessimism and Lack of creative adaptation.

It's pretty obvious that business/entertainment industries don't care about quality any longer. Today is quick, cheap and move onto something else to maximize profits/clicks/views. The race to AI is a 2 trillion dollar prize. The results? As more and more people loose their jobs to AI (and this will exponentially increase when AI powered robots are perfected) , more and more people will not be working. Less people working means less buying and increased tax roles. More AI = less human activity. When 60 percent of the people have been put out of their jobs, those people will have to compete for what is left, lowering wages to the absolute minimums due to supply being high and demand being low. Less buying, more taxes to keep people from starving. Who is going to buy products when they have no job? Who is going to be able to pay taxes when they have no job? How can the government give stuff to people if no one is paying taxes due to no jobs? Watch some videos on the danger or AI. Look past the "free" stuff we will be able to do. Think. We are flirting with disaster.

I like tiiktok more

Deepseek is comparable to the paid version of Gemini from google.

Blender has made an incredible impact on society, I hope they get all of what they need and more

Pay and keep this community going you tight arses

But if the current generation is learning 3d modeling in Blender, wouldn't they need to learn Maya and all these other programs when starting a corporate job? I can see how they could allow specific hires to use blender for modeling and stuff. And as time passes, they could phase out the other programs :P Especially as Blender keeps getting updates, becoming better. As a side note, I had downloaded blender 2.79 for... reasons. And it was indeed terrible. It felt like a program from 2003 +/- 2 years. You couldn't even move the camera, or select objects in an intuitive way.

skynet has risen☹️ now we need a Terminator

I mean... yeah, they can take your job. But I do hope that then we would replace capitalism, so people wouldn't NEED a job in order to survive. Meanwhile AI can enable small teams, or even single developers/producers to realize their visions much faster and cheaper, so someone who has an idea, but no resources, can still make it happen.

Bro, this video holds a ton of info this is like a gold mine

I dont understand the psychology of these ai corporation. who do they think they want to sell to at the very end when everyone doesn't have money because of unemployment? sell robot to robot?

Dom studio uses blender 💀

I love if you realy donate

$Blender$

I always thought open ai was suppsoed to be originally open source anyway

donate guys blender needs us now

Unfortunately, I read today online in the news that the United States is trying to ban DeepSeek. They are making it a criminal offense to download it. It will be a twenty year prison sentence and a $1 million fine for individuals to download it. Institutions and other organizations that download it will be fined $100 million and get 20 years in prison. So much for the land of the free!

It may be a Nazi opinion, but I just wish Adobe could buy Blender🤣🤣🤣💀💀💀!

People are cunts
