It’s not their tool, it was developed by Disney a long time ago and Autodesk has integrated an old version of Xgen in maya (don’t know if they bought it or whatever) but they don’t update it as it’s not their tool, that’s why our Xgen doesn’t evolve. From what I heard, Disney continues to upgrade Xgen on their side and the version they have nowadays is far from what we know actually (if I am right they use different tools between Pixar and Disney). If you’re interested, there are some free plugin developed by some groomers like Jesus FC and more that can enhance your experience, or you can make your own tool/scripts with mel/python 🙃
Thanks... Yes.. I was jn Jesus Petreon site for a while. I was always wondering why Maya had not made any update about Xgen. Your thought has given me some insight.
Recently bought EmberGen because of this. So nice to see everything in real time, no weirdness with arnold rendering something completely different etc. Sure you can do these things in maya but its pain. Arnold is amazing for what it is, animation and modeling is really good. Basic stuff is great but thats about it. It feels like the potential is there to make it way better with updates. Things like sweep mesh and live boolean are nice but should be accompanied by more stuff.

Your words are very funny Houdini software has had more than 115 updates from version 16 to version 18.5. Has this caused the stability of the pipeline in Houdini to be lost? Can Houdini users no longer work with new versions? Have these updates made Houdini lose its efficiency and power? َAlso your words are not logical at all. If the update is malicious, then it is better to work with Maya version 4 and leave other updates aside. It's your kind of thinking that made Maya never improve - no one is against stability in the production pipeline, this is an important thing that all users of professional projects care about. But what you don't understand is, increasing the speed in calculations, modifying old expressions and replacing them with better tools, optimization and... Maya has hundreds of serious problems that you seem unable to understand After 16 years, Bifrost has not entered the production pipeline 100% and is still undergoing testing After 11 years, Xgen still hasn't been updated, and its complex computational pipeline is one of the biggest production problems in animation. Procedural computing still has no place in Maya After 16 years, the Nucleus system is still based on CPU calculations, and for example, you have to wait hours for the cache to be completed to simulate hair and fur. Are you really unable to see these problems or are you trying not to understand?
Also fluid simulations is not updated to something like a sparse in Houdini, or Axiom kind. Fluid sims is very very very old. Maybe about 20 years old(

Theres a reason Mudbox is so cheep compared to all their other products. My guess is Zbrush left it in the dust a decade ago and its probably more cost effective to keep Mudbox as a cheep and barebones little alternative than actually try to compete.
viewport - 10 years old, any improvements. shader graph editor - 20 years old, any improvements. ui - still very bugy and the same for 10 years. smart extrude should be introduced 5 years ago, nowdays every program have it. very very bad autodesk, as always

they should really get their sh*t together, if money is the thing they're after, Throwing more exciting Features will give them more money instead they would rather sitting around and enjoy their money collecting activity are there no more good talent working on Maya or something?
Even after solid updates, blender is behind Maya. Maya doesn't need to move fast. It is already ahead. It would be better if Maya takes its time and properly program new features. If you go fast, then you'll compromise on quality and end up like Boeing.
Welp blender had Maya's, Houdini's and various softwares' example to create their so call industry breaking updates not here to diss any software but this is a fact would not want Autodesk to create a fall for themselves by forcing updates...
😂😂 what is good in blender? I think only modeling and some sculpting and even there it is lacking. MAYA overall is better in Rigging animation. Uv editing, simulation,grooming,retoplogy...etc I give blender a + for having nice viewport with realtime rendering but the problem is performance. Maya viewport is very powerful but outdated.however there are plugins to improve it, and they are working on a new one for the future. Blender won't be able to compete if it happens.
Autodesk knows how to kill or make software mediocre. It's shameful but still for animators it's one of the best options. Modeling, vfx and other functions are completely obsolete or just more of the same
are you able to make animations using nCloth or using dynamics with maya 2025? i can't. maya only renders the first frame for the whole sequence. im using arnold. Any advice? i called autodesk and they haven't figured it out either. :( so frustrating.
@@wallacesousuke1433 mess? it's the opposite. Houdini forces you to be extra-organized or you can't do anything substantial. But once you get it, it's very fast and efficient. Maya is a mess after adding 3 objects and a few effects - not to mention it's hard to do anything without using plugins.
CAN YOU PLEASE ADD GROUPING/FUNCTIONS AND CONTAINERS WITH LABELS IN THE HYPERSHADE/NODE EDITOR. It is a nightmare to work with complex shaders when there is no way to organise it and it's baffling that every other program be it Unreal, Houdini, Mari, Substance Designer and even Blender has this basic functionality. Maya is a joke.

lol. updating 3ds Max? Go watch their update video for max, and see their dislike bar. then go compare Max and Maya what's new page. Max got 6 totally useless updates. You should be thankful to at least get 1 or 2 useful features out of like 12 updates for Maya.
Please update the real-time renderer that everyone hopes for. It is similar to Unreal Viewport, as well as game engines and sculpting functions. UE is also implanting Maya functions. Failure to implant UE functions in Maya is a death sentence.
Completely unrealistic and unfair to the Autodesk team if you think they can keep up with UE features. Epic is raking in billions of dollars every year that is pumped right back into the funding of UE. Please watch one of the Epic Dev deep dives and you’ll see how they are basically pioneering the future of computer graphics in games.
@@caden6305 they had Stingray, but killed off the project. So not really unrealistic nor unfair to ask for it. If blender can do it, then why not Autodesk? We dont need them to catch up with UE, just so that we can roughly understand how it will look in game engine, is already fine. Their realtime shaders are terrible and inaccurate.
@@Potatinized This is directly from the AutoDesk website on why they cancelled Stingray, "Artists are increasingly standardizing on other game engines for both games and VR/AR authoring. We continue to invest in building better, more interactive authoring tools for both games and design visualization, but will be pursuing stronger partnerships with third-party game engine developers rather than building our own engine." In other words, they realize if they were to build their own engine it would still end up being surpassed by other game engine developers. I know it's stupid to predict the future but with the direction Unreal is going in, I think in 5-10 years there will be little need for 3rd Party Apps in game dev. Everything will most likely be handled in engine.
@@Potatinized It is unrealistic though if they haven't already started working on it. Blender can do it because it is open source, Unreal also allows the community to contribute code, whereas Maya is closed source.
@@xox8717 it’s just pretty annoying to be minding our business and having people rubbing you blender in the face like, no Maya or max users is going on a blender subreddit and do that for example, like everybody got it man, it’s free and the UI is good looking, but let people work ffs aha (I use blender and Maya myself)

@@wallacesousuke1433 The cost isn’t the issue for me. I think Maya is fantastic, and I continue to use it. What seems to be happening is everyone had retreated to their trenches. The original trail blazers have vanished or don’t seem to care. Maya is best for animation, Houdini is the best for VFX, Cinema 4D motion graphics, Zbrush sculpting. Etc etc In my opinion all this has happened because the creative industry has been desperately lacking in vision. Users have made it too easy for software companies to stop having vision. After Effects is a classic example. Anything you actually want to do is a 3rd party plugin or script. They’re all great, but some are such obvious concepts, it’s mind boggling to think why they are not part of the main software. For the seven million, four hundred and thirty three licenses we pay to various software companies, it would be great if they made some effort. Or am I alone in thinking this? (Number of licenses are calculated on how it feels to my wallet rather than actual numbers)
I would like to add to maya the operation in text field like in blender and cinema ,for example you want to set the radio us for the sphere the half of 0.75. Open the calculator should not been needed just to write 0.75/2 and maya does the operation.

Thank you for the VDB. retopo is a great feature that no other software has. Other updates not for game dev, but others might need them. Pity that updates slowed down the last months. But I am very happy with the amount of updates since. Max was better at modeling when blender launched 2.9, and the updates since only widened the gap. Little perplexed with the attention Arnold is getting. Even among max users I don't know anyone who uses it. It seems it is so far behind that it's not even worth resuscitating it. I use it only to bake textures.

Maya viewport is actually very capable and can handle more than what eevee can in terms of huge scenes, complex rigs, animation and simulations, it needs PBR workflow but they're trying to incorporate materialX & Hydra for USD since this is where the movie & VFX industries are heading to.
@@ALGHOTTE In fact EEVEE is a raster rendering engine, just like lumen in UE5. Maya viewport like workbench in blender, can't rendering, only preview with limited functionality. P.S. It’s notorious in maya forum.
Where’s REAL modeling updates? Where’s sculpting updates? Where’s viewport updates? Where’s XGen updates? Where’s UV editing updates? Have you finally integrated Bonus Tools (which has nothing to do with Bonus in it so many years already) into the interface? Will Maya get some REAL UPDATES in the nearest future? Are AUTODESK aware of what is going on in other 3D packages at all? Because what they do to Maya last years is LUDICROUS! In real world it would be Maya 2018.12 and definitely NOT Maya 2025

I’ve been using Maya since v4. It was magical at first, as I got older, it’s still brilliant though more as a reliable work tool for me now. But seriously, Autodesk, if you don’t start marketing this product better, and I don’t mean getting down with ‘the kids’. I mean, What is this mess of a video? What serious professional would buy this product from this video? Start talking to ‘the professionals’, and actually asking them what they need and maybe try to become the ground breaking but if software you once were. Maybe come up with an idea or two we can all play around with. The excuse of ‘all studio pipelines are Maya based’ will only last until ‘all studio and pipelines are Maya no longer based’ and believe me, that may be sooner than you think.

@@smashedlegends"fine tuning", may be that's what autodesk wants to believe but it's very far from the truth that they've done very little. And the migration issue. First, if the program is not capable of running a old setup, most often times it's fault of the program unless the setup is like more than 10 years old. Secondly, studio is the one who decides migrate or not. If they really want some kind of fancy function that the new version provides(even tho there is none in here) they would rather make the function as their own plugin rather than migrating their entire pipeline to the newere version. It's a very poor excuse that this is the reason why Maya hasn't made any progress for past 10 years.
@@greenspeed666 tbh as an animator i barely use anything besides time editor,motiontrail ,graph editor and layers. what else would you like there to be?
Structurally as a 3D artist: 1. The modifier stack is useless, all it can do is turn it on, off and change places. Why is it needed if I cannot directly adjust the settings of these modifiers in it. 2. Smart Extrude, the idea is good, but the implementation is lame, there is not enough control over rotation and scaling, you can only move it. 3. Boolean Bevel did not live up to expectations, the bevel rests on points and cannot expand further by correcting these points, it still does not replace the slow-moving hardmesh plugin. Autodesk obviously doesn't keep up with what its competitors are doing. The blender annoys me, I don’t want to work in it, but I’m forced to, now I sit and study it, I hope I’ll get used to it, many of my colleagues have already adapted to the blender.

Theres a reason Mudbox is so cheep compared to all their other products. My guess is Zbrush left it in the dust a decade ago and its probably more cost effective to keep Mudbox as a cheep and barebones little alternative than actually try to compete.
I hope implement character animation without rigging based on Pixar's paper that called character articulation through profile curves
It seems a user developed a plugin to do that.
I'll try to find where I saw this.

Did Maya 2025 changed something to pyside 2? A lot of plugins aren't work anymore
viewport - 10 years old, any improvements.
shader graph editor - 20 years old, any improvements.
ui - still very bugy and the same for 10 years.
smart extrude should be introduced 5 years ago, nowdays every program have it.
very very bad autodesk, as always
they make it again = total garbage
When it comes to smart extrue, no program performs better than 3ds max/maya;
Amateur.. I bet you use Blender and gimp instead Maya and Photoshop eheh
@@smashedlegends yah extrude along normal exturude indvidualy lot of features boender have in free i like blender and cycles is better then arnold in my opnion
they should really get their sh*t together,
if money is the thing they're after, Throwing more exciting Features will give them more money
instead they would rather sitting around and enjoy their money collecting activity
are there no more good talent working on Maya or something?
i cannot see any new feature
Sorry to say am almost 8 years of experience and no solid updates like blender is moving fast be aware Autodesk u are losing ur costumer s
Not to mention being overpriced for almost no real updates isn't helping their case either
Even after solid updates, blender is behind Maya. Maya doesn't need to move fast. It is already ahead. It would be better if Maya takes its time and properly program new features. If you go fast, then you'll compromise on quality and end up like Boeing.
Welp blender had Maya's, Houdini's and various softwares' example to create their so call industry breaking updates not here to diss any software but this is a fact would not want Autodesk to create a fall for themselves by forcing updates...
Maya is still industry standard and can deal with large scale rendering which blender can’t. I can use both but Maya seems so much smoother to use
Please try not to stress out the four programmers they have working on annual updates. Thank you.
so funny.
these updates cost nothing.
what have you been doing the whole year?
very good question.
I think they are just took our money and just relax on some islands...
Autodesk really need to build and entire new software, this looks too old and hard to work with. Please make it more accesible
Out of desk mean Autodesk
PLS DO BETTER THAN BLENDER
they make only 1B in 2023.
it's too few to bit the Blender :D
LMAO Blender? They already destroy it in everyway, in fact, Blender has yet to come close to competing with Maya
😂😂 what is good in blender?
I think only modeling and some sculpting and even there it is lacking.
MAYA overall is better in Rigging animation. Uv editing, simulation,grooming,retoplogy...etc
I give blender a + for having nice viewport with realtime rendering but the problem is performance.
Maya viewport is very powerful but outdated.however there are plugins to improve it, and they are working on a new one for the future.
Blender won't be able to compete if it happens.
hi i do subsurface crystal engraving and need to convert a photo to 3d do yopu have any vidios on how to do this
Autodesk knows how to kill or make software mediocre.
It's shameful but still for animators it's one of the best options.
Modeling, vfx and other functions are completely obsolete or just more of the same
are you able to make animations using nCloth or using dynamics with maya 2025? i can't. maya only renders the first frame for the whole sequence. im using arnold. Any advice? i called autodesk and they haven't figured it out either. :( so frustrating.
I have already joined Houdini, and I no longer have to work overtime to create clear logical relationships.
What? You say that after moving to that mess of software that requires tons of nodes and VEX scripts?
@@wallacesousuke1433 mess? it's the opposite. Houdini forces you to be extra-organized or you can't do anything substantial. But once you get it, it's very fast and efficient.
Maya is a mess after adding 3 objects and a few effects - not to mention it's hard to do anything without using plugins.
I have already joined Maya Bifrost, and I no longer have to work overtime to create clear logical relationships.
CAN YOU PLEASE ADD GROUPING/FUNCTIONS AND CONTAINERS WITH LABELS IN THE HYPERSHADE/NODE EDITOR. It is a nightmare to work with complex shaders when there is no way to organise it and it's baffling that every other program be it Unreal, Houdini, Mari, Substance Designer and even Blender has this basic functionality. Maya is a joke.
problem is keyboard functions after the latest update from 2 days no longer work
I used maya, But 😢? In the future it looks like Maya users will have to move to Blender 😢. Because Autodesk company is updating Max more than Maya.
Are bhai aap bhi ho is comment line m bhai kasam se biforest hug deta h yar bake krne m per blender shi h mentaflow modelling m bhi blender hi best lga
lol. updating 3ds Max?
Go watch their update video for max, and see their dislike bar. then go compare Max and Maya what's new page. Max got 6 totally useless updates. You should be thankful to at least get 1 or 2 useful features out of like 12 updates for Maya.
@@Potatinized considering that net income of autodesk in 2023 make almost 1B dollars.
How many programmers they can hire to make something else new :D
max got mew coplors ahhaha
I feel like Maya is still a dinosaur like in 2013 :(
Please update the real-time renderer that everyone hopes for. It is similar to Unreal Viewport, as well as game engines and sculpting functions. UE is also implanting Maya functions. Failure to implant UE functions in Maya is a death sentence.
Completely unrealistic and unfair to the Autodesk team if you think they can keep up with UE features. Epic is raking in billions of dollars every year that is pumped right back into the funding of UE. Please watch one of the Epic Dev deep dives and you’ll see how they are basically pioneering the future of computer graphics in games.
@@caden6305 they had Stingray, but killed off the project. So not really unrealistic nor unfair to ask for it. If blender can do it, then why not Autodesk?
We dont need them to catch up with UE, just so that we can roughly understand how it will look in game engine, is already fine. Their realtime shaders are terrible and inaccurate.
@@Potatinized This is directly from the AutoDesk website on why they cancelled Stingray, "Artists are increasingly standardizing on other game engines for both games and VR/AR authoring. We continue to invest in building better, more interactive authoring tools for both games and design visualization, but will be pursuing stronger partnerships with third-party game engine developers rather than building our own engine."
In other words, they realize if they were to build their own engine it would still end up being surpassed by other game engine developers. I know it's stupid to predict the future but with the direction Unreal is going in, I think in 5-10 years there will be little need for 3rd Party Apps in game dev. Everything will most likely be handled in engine.
@@Potatinized It is unrealistic though if they haven't already started working on it. Blender can do it because it is open source, Unreal also allows the community to contribute code, whereas Maya is closed source.
@@Potatinized just use both, bro
Autodesk, a SHIT company. Good luck in 5 years.
Autodesk really think, what if they feed their customers with excrement and no one will notice

Both have strength & weaknesses but your comment seems very childish.
@@xox8717 it’s just pretty annoying to be minding our business and having people rubbing you blender in the face like, no Maya or max users is going on a blender subreddit and do that for example, like everybody got it man, it’s free and the UI is good looking, but let people work ffs aha (I use blender and Maya myself)

Is this really worth a yearly subscription of thousands of dollars?
For Big studios, YES.
@@ALGHOTTE
Sort of….
Maya Indie only costs 300 bucks per year
@@wallacesousuke1433 The cost isn’t the issue for me. I think Maya is fantastic, and I continue to use it.
What seems to be happening is everyone had retreated to their trenches. The original trail blazers have vanished or don’t seem to care.
Maya is best for animation, Houdini is the best for VFX, Cinema 4D motion graphics, Zbrush sculpting. Etc etc
In my opinion all this has happened because the creative industry has been desperately lacking in vision.
Users have made it too easy for software companies to stop having vision. After Effects is a classic example. Anything you actually want to do is a 3rd party plugin or script. They’re all great, but some are such obvious concepts, it’s mind boggling to think why they are not part of the main software.
For the seven million, four hundred and thirty three licenses we pay to various software companies, it would be great if they made some effort.
Or am I alone in thinking this?
(Number of licenses are calculated on how it feels to my wallet rather than actual numbers)
We making it into usd pipeline with this one 🗣🗣🗣🔥🔥
I would like to add to maya the operation in text field like in blender and cinema ,for example you want to set the radio us for the sphere the half of 0.75. Open the calculator should not been needed just to write 0.75/2 and maya does the operation.

So Autodesk Maya is supposed to be viewed under a microscope.I’m not kidding. Maybe it’s a good idea.😁
I was hoping that we would finally get something like the Blender Grease Pencil. I wonder why they won't do it. It would be a game changer.
Thank you for the VDB. retopo is a great feature that no other software has. Other updates not for game dev, but others might need them. Pity that updates slowed down the last months. But I am very happy with the amount of updates since. Max was better at modeling when blender launched 2.9, and the updates since only widened the gap. Little perplexed with the attention Arnold is getting. Even among max users I don't know anyone who uses it. It seems it is so far behind that it's not even worth resuscitating it. I use it only to bake textures.

Maya is done, viewport has been same for 10 years.
Meanwhile EEVEE NEXT will add ray tracing in the next version.
Glad left Maya.
Viewport needs no change at all. Theyre just fine tuning a very very good professional product used by the Industry. Just fine tuning.. like apple does with the Iphone
@@smashedlegends If you can go to the maya forum and say these things
@@neeo9949 don't pay attention to him
he is from autodesk customer service :D
Maya viewport is actually very capable and can handle more than what eevee can in terms of huge scenes, complex rigs, animation and simulations, it needs PBR workflow but they're trying to incorporate materialX & Hydra for USD since this is where the movie & VFX industries are heading to.
@@ALGHOTTE In fact EEVEE is a raster rendering engine, just like lumen in UE5. Maya viewport like workbench in blender, can't rendering, only preview with limited functionality. P.S. It’s notorious in maya forum.
and where is the four-sided symmetry? Radial symmetry?
Zbrush have it for the decades.
Where’s REAL modeling updates? Where’s sculpting updates? Where’s viewport updates? Where’s XGen updates? Where’s UV editing updates? Have you finally integrated Bonus Tools (which has nothing to do with Bonus in it so many years already) into the interface? Will Maya get some REAL UPDATES in the nearest future? Are AUTODESK aware of what is going on in other 3D packages at all? Because what they do to Maya last years is LUDICROUS! In real world it would be Maya 2018.12 and definitely NOT Maya 2025
Maya is strong in character animation, it is not possible to make good character animation in houdini especialy face animation, til now... but other stuff to do, only in houdini ;)
Modeling in Houdini is a pain. Only perfect for procedural models
It will be great if you guys create more AI tools actually, like creating models, rigs and even animating things automatically, based on sentences or images. And at the same time have them clean.
nothing new... Maya could add AI powered retopology, UV unwrap, rigging and other tool, but they just dont want....

Ai costs power
how much money Maya gives to Autodesk, is it millions ? How much is spent to do updates ? 5k ?

Who uses the dope sheet these days? All these updates feel like catch-up features. nothing new.
The dope sheet is just dope. Love it
I experienced seven crashes today using this software. Blender is easier to use, and it ultimately led to better results.
ahahah
I’ve been using Maya since v4. It was magical at first, as I got older, it’s still brilliant though more as a reliable work tool for me now.
But seriously, Autodesk, if you don’t start marketing this product better, and I don’t mean getting down with ‘the kids’. I mean, What is this mess of a video? What serious professional would buy this product from this video?
Start talking to ‘the professionals’, and actually asking them what they need and maybe try to become the ground breaking but if software you once were. Maybe come up with an idea or two we can all play around with.
The excuse of ‘all studio pipelines are Maya based’ will only last until ‘all studio and pipelines are Maya no longer based’ and believe me, that may be sooner than you think.
👍
I think the fate of the forgotten MODO awaits them
The Blender is better.
Actually nothing
It's really funny
All softwares develop rapidly and surprise their users with thousands of new updates
Now Autodesk wants to publish a new version with three changes in extruding and Beveling
All the updates were the same and nothing else🤦♂🤦♂🤦♂🤦🤦🤦🤦♂🤦♂🤦♂
Viewport needs no change at all. Theyre just fine tuning a very very good professional product used by the Industry. Just fine tuning.. like apple does with the Iphone. Thousands of "new updares" every week is disruptive for the professional industry. You want stability. Imagine working on a 300 million dollars movie and your main modeling and animaion program updates every week with thousands of updates. You don´t understand the professional industry.
@@smashedlegends
Your words are very funny
Houdini software has had more than 115 updates from version 16 to version 18.5. Has this caused the stability of the pipeline in Houdini to be lost?
Can Houdini users no longer work with new versions?
Have these updates made Houdini lose its efficiency and power?
َAlso your words are not logical at all. If the update is malicious, then it is better to work with Maya version 4 and leave other updates aside.
It's your kind of thinking that made Maya never improve - no one is against stability in the production pipeline, this is an important thing that all users of professional projects care about. But what you don't understand is, increasing the speed in calculations, modifying old expressions and replacing them with better tools, optimization and...
Maya has hundreds of serious problems that you seem unable to understand
After 16 years, Bifrost has not entered the production pipeline 100% and is still undergoing testing
After 11 years, Xgen still hasn't been updated, and its complex computational pipeline is one of the biggest production problems in animation.
Procedural computing still has no place in Maya
After 16 years, the Nucleus system is still based on CPU calculations, and for example, you have to wait hours for the cache to be completed to simulate hair and fur.
Are you really unable to see these problems or are you trying not to understand?

@@rano12321 😄😄😃😆👍👍👍👍🙏🙏🙏👍👍👍👍
@@smashedlegends"fine tuning", may be that's what autodesk wants to believe but it's very far from the truth that they've done very little. And the migration issue. First, if the program is not capable of running a old setup, most often times it's fault of the program unless the setup is like more than 10 years old. Secondly, studio is the one who decides migrate or not. If they really want some kind of fancy function that the new version provides(even tho there is none in here) they would rather make the function as their own plugin rather than migrating their entire pipeline to the newere version. It's a very poor excuse that this is the reason why Maya hasn't made any progress for past 10 years.

Structurally as a 3D artist:
1. The modifier stack is useless, all it can do is turn it on, off and change places.
Why is it needed if I cannot directly adjust the settings of these modifiers in it.
2. Smart Extrude, the idea is good, but the implementation is lame, there is not enough control over rotation and scaling, you can only move it.
3. Boolean Bevel did not live up to expectations, the bevel rests on points and cannot expand further by correcting these points, it still does not replace the slow-moving hardmesh plugin.
Autodesk obviously doesn't keep up with what its competitors are doing.
The blender annoys me, I don’t want to work in it, but I’m forced to, now I sit and study it, I hope I’ll get used to it, many of my colleagues have already adapted to the blender.
