Ton has my eternal respect too.

[@indago1]

Ton is such a legend. He changed lives of so many artists lives including mine with creating Blender and I will for ever be grateful for that :)

[@anubis8370]

I met Ton Roosendaal back in Siggraph 2019 and he is one of the most humble and coolest dudes you'll ever met. Love to talk shop and tech which is awesome.

[@tapikoBlends]

I want to shake his hand 🤝🤝🤝

[@gold_twisted]

I remember the release of Eevee being included in 2.8, it was the first update that not only competed with the industry giants but surpassed their technology then which gave Blender publicity and more credibility as a competitor

[@Mac_Daffy]

36:00 love Andrey's smile when Ton tells him "I'm unstoppable".

[@Highcastle_of_Geek]

Ton is describing the precise reason I have pursued 3d and other creative disciplines. It all goes back to the early inspirations from childhood.

[@sohailamahmoud3444]

for me .. blender so awesome and the best software I've ever seen .. i have used it until now

[@motionfigura]

I am glad taht you return to youtube, i missed your videos.

[@JureMali]

Switched from Maya to Blender years ago. One of the best decisions ever. Blender is evolving and has become really nice application to use. Big fan! And this guy is a living legend. Big thank you, from a daily user. 🙏

[@lucensius]

He's our hero!

[@millie2079]

What an amazing person. The world is so full of greedy corporations and people with bad intentions, who's sole purpose is to just make as much money as possible, that having characters like Ton is inspirational. Think of all the people around the world who genuinely cannot afford to even purchase addons yet they can use vanilla Blender. Look at young artists like William Landgren who was too young to earn the kind of money required to buy an 'industry standard' dcc when he started making his amazing creations. Blender is a gift to 3D artists thanks to this man.

[@betterfosset]

Damn good times, even Blender skeptics are getting on the hype train and I'm glad to be along

Nice to see you again, Andrey! I’ve lost touch with your work, when you took your break, but so glad to see you with new quality content. Me personally - blender user since 2.8 and loving it ever since. Made a huge amount of commercial work in it for past two-three years. Respect for you and Ton! 3d legends ;)

[@xanzuls]

Thanks Andrey, been following your channel before I got into VFX. Really happy to see you talking about Blender and even making a podcast with the founder of Blender, hope to see more Blender content in the future from you (and with Houdini as well since I love both)

[@GaryParris]

i love Blender and Ton has really made an impact and is he will go down in history as one of those rare people to change minds and hearts through through a software project and inspiration! thank you for doing this interview! Respect to you and your team and for using Blender as part of the community, that was a really respectful interview!

[@AndreyLebrov]

Glad you liked it. I'm super happy I had an opportunity for it :)

[@motion.igorrocha]

Thank you, Andrey! This was a heartwarming interview! Ton is such an inspiring person, showing patience and never giving up on his goals. By the way, keep up the great work with your videos, your content is awesome!

[@alekseynedovesov770]

Hey! Andrey! Glad to see you again.

[@chosenideahandle]

Andrey! Wow, you haven't seen me here for awhile (because I switched to Blender from C4D a few years ago)! This was an amazing interview. As usual, you do everything at the highest level.

[@PaulOlusola]

Ton you have my eternal respect!

[@fazalfazi2141]

That's quite impressive! I was a video editor, and after discovering Blender's free availability, I began exploring 3D modeling. Now I'm able to create things, and I truly appreciate your guidance. Good luck to you as well.

[@JZ1403]

Bro you are one of the reason i got into motion graphics. Now you are going to blender too fk lez go!

[@Bentamitouhaminourine]

I'm an old C4D user, and I've fully switched to Blender. Huge thanks to this legend! I really love his unique perspective on tool development and programming. Big thanks to you, #Andrey_Lebrov

[@SeonStronghold]

I've been a follower of this channel for a long time. I learned about Cinema 4D and Octane from it and got into taking pictures with my camera and turning them into textures because of Andrey. I've been into Blender since Day one and it's good to see it here now.

[@_Love_And_Peace]

Heartily admiration and respect to Mr. Ton Roosendaal

[@AlexisRivera3D]

Blender was and it’s important for me, I was jobless and I worked as CG Generalist freelancer and it was my main revenue at that time.

[@autotopnig1400]

Good to have you back bruh been a while

Glad you're back.

[@dhirentravelvlogs7275]

Congratulations #Blender Your Love Always with us ❤❤🙏🙏

[@andres4SD]

Muchas gracias Tom.. eres el dador 🙏🏽👏🏽 Blender es cada día más y más revolucionado.

[@rano12321]

Really happy to see you at the blender conference and talking to the guy who planted the seed of Blender. Really looking forward to more Blender related videos in the future and really glad you switched to Blender for the modeling stuff, it's by far one of the best when it comes to poly modeling, if not the best if you add some of the add-ons, and they are also revamping their whole animation system with Animation 2025 and project Baklava, so would love to see you take a look at that and maybe make some videos on it.

[@eddiexx]

Ton! Please remember we not only animate in Blender. 3D printing and manufacturing is a huge port of the community and we still cant even get the diameter of a circle when in edit mode, after creating a circle forget about about diameter radius. We need some kind of "cad"-like solution, there are germs of it but they are all crude and never updated, never developed. Look at stuff like Plasticity etc. Cheers

[@rajendrameena150]

Use geometry nodes for such things.

[@rano12321]

Blender is for animation, games etc. Blender also had a game engine before but they removed it because focusing on too many things ultimately lead them to mediocrity at all sectors, so id say if you are doing cad stuff, blender shouldn't be your choice, use something like freecad.

[@eddiexx]

@@rano12321 i would like to see a combination, i dont think it would be too much of stretch, specially when i see how many people who use Blender for real world design

[@eddiexx]

@@rajendrameena150 interesting, looks like overkill but ill see if its something

[@98clb]

Never hit like so fast before, Andrey?! Blender?! Fireee

[@PaulOlusola]

Blender the joy of freedom 😍 😍

[@PackwellSandjong-q6m]

Exactly. 8:10 I which blender has a real time multi-user option as many other creative app do. It's gonna save alot of time to many studios.

[@rano12321]

There was an addon made by Ubisoft a long time ago for that.

[@VFXCentral]

I switched the Blender 2 years ago. It’s been amazing. I still use Houdini of course for sim. And bringing them over as USDs has been no problem

[@AndreyLebrov]

Appreciate your opinion Aaron. Means I have nothing to worry about haha

[@AL3XFPV]

Blender is the way to go, its got insane good now, I started out with Maya which is very expensive for a hobbyist, and tried blender in the early 2000s but it was soo hard to learn compared to Maya, but now its soo much improved at every level. So now I only use Blender. The plugin system and community, blendermarket makes this have unlimited features and easy to use

[@tropicalvirtual3D]

Damn, been using C4D for like the past 5 years. Blender catching my attention a bit more everyday and now Andrey drops this video with Ton, whew boy. Might be time to add it to the tool belt.

[@Zaqariyah]

One of the greatest men ever!

[@ahmedshakib3883]

Andrey I left c4d too , I love blender , its so artist friendly , I love the docking panels and some of the built in tools are amazing.

[@ivansemchuk]

Oh wow. I was about to switch or semiswitch to it. But not fully forget c4d render queue and take system. Maybe tutorial about it in blender?

[@furtonb]

I recommend the Photographer add-on, you can set cameras, resolution, which cameras to render with ease. I think even changes can be replicated with View Layers to an extent, but I don't really need that feature, so I can't comment on that.

[@manavisuals]

Amazing quality btw, what camera and lens have you used?

[@AndreyLebrov]

Sony A1 as master, A7SIII and A7IV as B-Cams. I got my A1 when it just released, was surprised it actually can overheat on this interview. Discovered I'm several generations behind on the firmware, updated, hopefully will never happen again :)

[@manavisuals]

@@AndreyLebrov Thank you for the insights Sir! Much appreciated! I teach After Effects on this channel.

Yes. Andrey has a video that goes over making the firefly jars too.

Muy interesante. Me hubiera gustado que el audio en español tenga el audio original (en inglés) de fondo, como los documentales es decir que se escuche el audio original más bajo que la traducción, las voces ia son monótonas y algo aburridas.

Been using Blender for nearly ten years, it's finished. AI will replace the need for it in no more than 2 years max and not a moment too soon. There will always be a use for applications like it as a niche creative tool much like a canvas, pallet and paints but as a main driver in digital creativity it's over. Why come here and say something so negative? Well the way I see it, I've spent far too much time sat in-font of a computer screen, trying to wrestle with bugs, dodgy interface issues and waiting for renders, you know the drill. It's bad for you, corrosive in many ways. Trying to bring what are essentially your dreams and stories into reality. If you drill right-down into the fundamentals; anything that allows you to create faster and get to a final result that allows you to experience more time in the (real) world and enjoying it's riches then so be it. I truly think there's going to be a paradigm shift away from digital tools like this in the next few years and towards traditional art and less screen time. I think the developers of Blender, Unreal engine etc. must see the writing on the wall but they're trying to pretend it's not happening.

[@BonChan02]

Are you creating media now using b3d. Now this is to watch every day

camera over heated? like it had to make you coffee on top of recording? It has one job and we are in 2025 lol
