Im not seeing getting back to Blender anytime soon tbh. I use 3ds Max for modeling and minor rigging and animations, Maya for animation, rigging and grooming (hair, feather, fur), ZBrush for sculpting, Marvelous Designer for clothing and so on. Blender still has a long way to go although its really good, not gonna lie considering that it is freeware. We will see where the industry will be in a couple of years. As indies we at least get to use what we see fitting in unless we want to make sure that our portfolio is attractive enough for future job in the established studios for example where 3ds Max and Maya are mostly the software of choice for the workflow.
Awesome video, I'm a firefighter that does 3D stuff in my free time (Not trying to become professional just a hobbyist). I also use Blender and just bought 3D coat for the same exact type of workflow you mentioned. Also invested in Liquigen and EmberGen for water and fire/smoke simulations.
This was in no way to belittle blender users. I came from a perspective where maya users will wait until they are old or fired before they realise the potential of Blender.
I've been a Maya user for 15 years as an Indie user. Honestly, most of the stuff I do is now totally doable on Blender. I have never liked Maya for animating, always bogs down especially with mocap data. For this on regular aniamtion, I have always used MoBu. Now there's Cascaduer and the physics engine seems better than MoBu. So now, I continue to use Maya, but given the massive expense and all the catch-up blender has already done, looking hard at making a permanent switch. However, this old dog is not looking forward to learning yet another piece of software.
I know this is unrelated but give the Quran a read, blender is certainly going to be the industry standard in the next 5 years especialy of how fast is the developpment going

@PlusHappylab Yes but i will specialize down the road ^^

It's kind of cool imagining a firefighter doing 3D fire/smoke simulations in their spare time as a hobby!
@The3Dsmash well we get a decent amount of down time so might as well learn something cool!
Blender is best choice for fired or retired Autodesk user- made me chuckle a bit. Hey, even if they join the team late, at-least they joinin.

Blender is the best choice.
It's hard to give up 3ds Max.

Great explanation thanks a lot man
You don't have to use Blender or Maya. You have to use Blender and Maya. Otherwise you aren't a good 3d professional.
Are you a Ghanaian 🇬🇭?...
@@muhammadsketches8590 how did you know😂😂😂
@@Gearsolid3D you know blood is thicker than water...lol, Just felt the vybe bro...
@@Gearsolid3D keep up the great work bro, am really glad to see your effort.... SUBSCRIBED 👍🏾
@@muhammadsketches8590 😂😂😂
Sometimes I missed Maya Fatal Error :)
You have to buy a new pc. The problem is not from Maya. It’s your hardware.
