[@manicmillennial3287]

Thank you so much for your tutorials man!

[@stephenchuksonah4080]

Thanks for getting me hooked in Blender. Thought Poliigon was just a side hustle till I saw it on Ton's slides beside Google, Addidas 😱

[@UnrealVirtualUniversity]

I was about to make the chapters myself, thanks for sharing

[@kaizze8777]

Seeing your messages is giving me some PTSD from too much donuts lol

[@mannyboy5922]

I love this man who giving me access to this most beautiful software for free... I love you Ton, I`m crying while writing this.

[@pranavpanchal7648]

Blender is not just a software it's a community 😍

[@OscarNebeAbad]

Its the most similar to a religious passion with a logical and artistically mindset. All love.

[@xox8717]

it's a cult with lots of kids in it who can't stop whining about this software.

[@Megalomaniakaal]

It's all of the above.

[@OscarNebeAbad]

@@xox8717 well, I didnt see so much kids in that Bcon, or our spanish-talking PuntoBlend community with 1000 users, most of us are artistic people updating their knowledges or old 3d people who was using Max, Maya, Lightwave or whatever, personally I've been using Max from 96 to 2014, then C4D until 2017, and from then Blender, I was testing Blender from 2.4x but I stuck so many years in my work pipeline, but the community here is remarkable, so finally I drop the other 3d softs. Stop saying that cliche of the "blender fankids whining or defending" dudes.

[@xox8717]

@@OscarNebeAbad online there is a ton of them & it's a fact, just try to make a critical comment about what blender lacks or not good in cetain areas compared to other Softwares & everyone will jump on you like hyenas, it's not cliché it happened to so many people including me even Professioanl Artists that i know had to deal with that.

[@DavidBoura]

What's been done in not even a year is unbelievable. Trying to follow the big train is epic! I demo'ed 2.82 to a friend who was used to 3D 10-15 years ago... he's been shaken to say the least. And then to totally blow his mind, i told him the installer file size.

[@prathamsaini9294]

I love people's faces when they come to know about the installer file size 😂😂😂

[@MrMargaretScratcher]

Forget the installer file size - the fact that you don't have to install it all and you can just run it from a folder still blows me away!

[@mihailazar2487]

[@forcews]

I am happy that Blender is only C + Python and it is fastest of all. Say no to bloat languages that cause bloating and stress to development and compilation.

[@مقاطعمترجمة-ش8ث]

​@@zed5449 I'm 100% agree with on last point , addons developing was hard as hell I ask many time to add or fix feature on their addon and they reply me they can't because of API limitations , I'm not C++ developer but I work with PHP and I know how non user friendly framework the let other developers control it behavior an make changes that out of the box , Python is not suitable language to be uses as addon language on real time 3d software everyone know how slow Python is ,they were should develop their own frameware middle language long time ago than relay on Python and extra API layer to talk between .

To hear Ton say, "we won!" I just about lost it! It's so true! Blender has come such a long way from when I started using it years ago and it was "that free software" and is now held in the same light as Maya, 3DsMax, Cinema4D, etc. Congratulations Ton and all Blender Devs and us Blender users!!!

[@josephbrandenburg4373]

The video and audio quality is much improved over last year. Thanks! Such an exciting time. Ton is so charismatic! It's always a joy to see his talks.

[@spamone]

Ton and the blender team can be really proud of what they do since all these years. Thank you to them for what they brought to us, really. 👌

[@artsiomshemiatavets8886]

When I see Ton, I sincerely rejoice for him! It is such a person who should manage such a project as Blender. His story is inspiring. Good luck, Ton! And I congratulate everyone on the bcon 2019 and a happy time in the history of Blender community! (sorry for bad english, I am from Belarus, and English not my native language)

"Maya is for old people." xD "We really care." ❤️

[@wceinar]

Iam old, still use Blender. Don't forget with age comes wisdom. Hey From Icelander in Sweden :-)

[@xox8717]

*Maya for the Pros Blender for the Amateurs*

[@pixunPL]

Although Blender has come a long way, it's just the beginning. This year they have gained a lot of additional development funds, interest in the program is growing rapidly. I dare to assume that the coming 2020 will be even better than in 2019. For beginners, now is the best time to start learning this program. That it will be an industry standard is only a matter of time. For now, the competition is asleep and does not yet know that their multimillion corporation will be overtaken by a handful of people with passion and care. BTW the business model represented by Blender is the best that could have happened to the creative industry. The program raises funds because it is well developed, if it stops being developed it will lose funds. This is a complete opposite of a subscription (Autodesk, Adobe) so popular since recent years.

[@xox8717]

@@pixunPL not going to happen, clearly you don't know what's happening on the other side,Autodesk is making huge leaps with Bifrost 2.0, impressive improvements to Animation systems ,production scenes loading from hours to seconds ...etc & they are working on even bigger stuff for USD,MaterialX,Arnold GPU that Blender can't even handle, so Blender probably will never be an industry standard for a long long time :)

[@xox8717]

@ Blender is not even close to Maya, Performance Sucks, Undo Sucks,Rigging/Animation Sucks, Import/Export Sucks,UV unwraping Sucks,Retopo'ng Sucks,Edit mode Sucks, you want me to keep going? having a new UI and Eevee is nothing, it's like more of old thing with just a new skin.

[@christophsaborowski7642]

One of the last non-capitalistic minds left, precious and rare nowadays!

[@valpodesideromontoya2097]

@StrangeLove Ton doesn't care about the profit and power, but about the community and freedom.

I am impressed people think Blender is not about politics either.

[@stillfree47]

Gotta love Ton. Nothing else to say. Thanks for all you do and the team behind it.

[@vain3d973]

WE WON!!!

[@dudepersonvids]

I only had a few minutes to watch, and the first part was a guy at a conference asking where everyone is from and what other conferences they went to, then he showed a clip of another guy giving another talk at another conference, and I've heard nothing about blender almost 12 minutes in, and now I can't watch the rest lol

[@iamton20]

Blender community is already a bigger community than you imagine. Thousands of people already using silently, including me. Before, i thought im the only one interested using the app here in our province. Until one time, some teens here scanning a head using a camera. I ask them what they are doing and they told me, They will make a 3d of it using blender.. If only my alma mater will also teach blender. It will help students a lot cause it free. Forever free...

[@jm_draws7253]

yes, it IS an unstoppable force.

[@nicolaselhani]

My only concern as a blender user and longtime Mac user is that blender doesn't drop full Mac support. With apple foregoing OpenGL and OpenCL for Metal. It makes me happy that Ton has thought about the whole organizational structure and institute supporting the application for the future and hopefully those concerns (although Mac users are a small portion of blender users), will not be left by the wayside.

[@d.v.4899]

Well, he already said that they will be moving to Vulkan and that concerning that Apple is not willing to work on bringing Vulkan to Apple products they can't do anything to help. Supporting one more (and honestly pretty useless api) would mean a lot of work that can be invested into development. You can check this by watching Blender Today video where he was the guest. The episode was after Blender got 1,2 Millions from Epic.

[@nicolaselhani]

Covfefe Dk I was waiting for the comment and now that it’s landed, well it wasn’t so bad. Yeah but in all seriousness, Apple have been a**es I just am so entrenched in their system and there are many benefits it’s just this Metal transition is a pain. I must say big developers who have the resources like Blackmagic and Adobe going to Metal have seen amazing performance bumps. It’s just blender that I’m worried about... but apparently MoltenVK translator to Metal performs even better than native OpenGL. So hopefully they can at least stick with that due to lack of resources. Just crossing fingers

[@nicolaselhani]

@@d.v.4899 my friend just sent me that. Yeah exactly that's actually pretty good news because in a silver lining way because Vulkan is obviously the future of cross-platform and MoltenVK is working great so far and will only get better. It's the tool that translates Vulkan to the macOS architecture. And that's crazy from Epic how far it's come...

[@Tokamak_9]

@Nicolas El Hani Unfortunately Apple is getting more and more closed with they OS-es. I have two Macs, one MacBook Pro and a Mini, and on the Mini I installed Linux to be able to use my Nvidia eGPU. I can run the most demanding Windows games even better than on Windows! Apple is isolating in a bubble, so I stopped to invest in Mac software.

[@nicolaselhani]

Alex Coc 100% I actually uploaded a video a couple months ago discussing the whole Apple NVIDIA thing amongst other things that annoyed me. Hmmph. Wish it was just as easy as ditching it all. But I spent the last 20 years in the ecosystem. Guess I’ll see how things move forward. So annoying though. “Just works ” my a** Apple...
