![]() ![]() The reason why I would personally suggest Blender to someone, besides it being free, is that it would be easier for me to assist them with any problems they might have. ![]() Nobody is hiding ZBrush, Maya, SketchUp, Rhino, etc. It's not very difficult to find alternatives, just as you did. One option is better than none, and it's only a starting point. I would never assume that a person can (or is willing to) afford $200 per month on a hobby they're just starting. Do we suggest only free things to people because we think they are not willing, or able, to afford alternatives? I find this to be limiting, ignorant and even insulting. Giving a "beginner" a single option seems to make sense to some people. It gave me a lot of grief when trying to use it for 3d modeling. So, comparing the cost of using 3ds Max against what is free must feel like a big win, but it's meaningless. They may seam like the same subject but they only seam that way. The assertion of what's expensive is not in the same field of what's "free". ![]() Do we suggest only free things to people because we think they are not willing, or able, to afford alternatives? While the tools mentioned that are targeted for Second Life are almost a requirement because of Blenders limitations, they are comparatively very inexpensive, including my very own "Bento Buddy".Īs we delve into the world of "free" I suggested, in no way, that someone aught to use 3ds Max, but someone chose to use it as a target for their posturing. Blender is limited in its function with regard to Second Life and is why the targeted tools are necessary. I can appreciate your argument, that Blender is free, but one doesn't choose a tool because it's free, one would hope, but because it's functional. Because of some limitations it was unusable in my work-flow so I landed on 3ds Max. When I first started out Blender was a contender, and not because it was free. Is it the general consensus that a person aught to not invest financially in their business, even in their hobby? I'm guessing your options have been limited. A person without options uses what's pushed at them. ![]()
