Look @savvas, there are areas where Blender doesn’t compare to Maya. There are areas where Blender excel. Blender is constantly improving. So much so that they changed how Meshes are stored in blend files and breaking compatibility to allow for higher poly count. All these software are just tools. The techniques and principles apply regardless of the software. Ton wanted to inspire and allow artist to create their own art. That is why Blender is free and will always be free. That’s why you can download any version of Blender. That’s why Blender is a Swiss Army Knife. For people who can’t afford a subscription or a new computer there’s Blender. I mean even in Blender 1.8, TAB for edit mode, G for grab/move, R for rotate, S for scale, and E for extrude are all still there. Any serious studio is going to use multiple programs and yes Blender is one of them now. I mean if I had to put in a hundred screws would I prefer a drill will a screwdriver tip over a screwdriver? Yes I would, but if I can’t afford a drill the screwdriver will get the job done.
