Can we all just agree that if used properly... BLENDER IS ALREADY PRODUCTION READY... Like this was amazing...

[@ivanavalos3911]

Why wouldn't anyone agree? Blender is not just a toy, it's a powerful full-featured piece of software that is intended to be used for professional animation and rendering.

I'm learning how to use blender, just a beginner. This is real inspiring to know this could be how good I am done day. I hope with the power of blender, my ambitious project RUN will come under development. Thank you for being such an inspiration.

[@Gredran]

DO IT UP!!!! It's a big community too, and very welcoming, likely cause the software is free and we want people to keep coming back and showing off the beauty and power of it! Go by the subreddit for Blender, and BlenderDoughnuts. You see plenty of the infamous Doughnut Tutorial by blender guru by other beginners! I sound like a plug, but nah I'm just really excited to encourage you to keep at it and not give up! It takes a lot of time solo, and less, but still a lot of time with a team! But it can be done and I wanna encourage you! Also, feel free to PM me about your project. I work a 9-5 job, but I'm doing more art recently. I'm a beginner like you, so don't expect me to be this powerhouse yet either haha, but maybe we can get somewhere by encouraging each other! You don't have to PM me either, just an offer since you mentioned your project :D I got my own project ideas too of course that'll take time to get off the ground!

It's a total game changer for those who seek to make the best of it's free open source usage and amazing 3D everything capabilities.

Can charcter animation done in blender easily? And do you need any external renderer in blender? Or default render will give photo realism render.

I wonder why Blender hasn't gone mainstream in cg/animation studio/major company? It is more than capable in professional production, why such big companies/studios still use closed source and against foss, they could've just support blender development in financial and in return they can use blender for free without restriction, win win situation, I hope one day i could see animation film made in blender in theater
