I don’t know, again, I’m not saying your complaints are invalid by any means and by no means I’m trying to “defend” or “attack” any software, I do seem to read some of these complaints a lot and in my opinion they are more about the software not being like the softwere they are used to than it being “schezoprenic”, I like moving with ctrl and shift personally, and I can’t remember how it was in max but it was not like maya either, the difference in use is so minnimal that I think the complaint could go the other way around, I like using just one button on the mouse and not having to switch between multiple ones ore two at the same time to scale OMG 😉 see what I’m saying, it’s the same concept just a different execution. How so?, I mean I’ve used them all and nowdays blender seems pretty easy to pick up to me, other than qwert everything seems pretty standard UI wise, it has a good outliner, intuitive right click menus and customizable interface, it has a pretty standard and easy to use node interface, it has contexts where all works, maybe it is that I’m used to it, but even guys that have worked with maya for a while start using blender at the studio and in a week they are up and running, in a month they preffer a lot of the goodies it has by default, maybe this UI notion has just stuck frozen in time from the 2.7 days? I don’t know, it’s maybe something I’m not seeing but we used to be 3ds Max based, it tooks us more than 2 years to completely make the switch and nowdays Blender and Houdini have us completely covered and working pretty efficiently with absolutely no problen in getting new team members up to speed (on th eblender part mostly, we usually don’t get new people for houdini).īy the way, something pretty awsome we could do with blender was to make a google cloud deployment using OpenCue, this way we can make our own cloud based renderfarm that is insanely cheap (by cutting the middle man like rebus) and since we had no hoops to jump with licensing doing the deployment was very easy.
