Wow ! This meme goes into another level we didn't see coming.
Is the grey skin character portrayed as Tumblr ? or is it a coincidence ?

Anyway, good picture here. <3

Originally I think Tumblr introduced the concept of "Anons" looking like these grey spheres with sunglasses.
It kinda stuck to me, cause the idea is nice. It let's you make an "Unspecified Person" in an image.

Autodesk has had some very shitty pricing schemes. I remember they used to have a free app called 123D Sculpt+, and the fuckers removed it from the appstore later on WITHOUT so much as a proper replacement. Done right pissed me off matter of fact.

Hopefully Sculptura or another app gains model painting soon. That's what 123D Sculpt+ used to have.

I don't mind paying money for good software to be honest.
I understand that people who put in the work want to get payed, it's fair.

What is not fair is SHITTY SCHEMES that try to extort money from people.
Like - I do not demand you UPDATE the old software. You can literally say "Look, this app is free, but we're not making money on it so it won't be continued."
That is a fair way of dealing with it. You can be mad at them, but it is honest.

However like you said - removing an App, hoping that the free users will be FORCED to switch to a payed one... no, just freaking NO.
That is outright the company being an asshole.

*Psst* Blender has model painting called Vertex paintXP

*Pss* blender have Sculp tools too and really good ones

And best of all, it's free. ^_^

LOL at the meme.

But yeah, Blender it's a pretty strong program. Unfortunately it's somewhat hard to use.

i can say for personal experience its hard to learn in effect but once you knew some stuff its faster as fuck even more than the rest of programs, most of tools are in keyboard commands, and learn to use too, best part its you never stop of learning new stuff so there always learning new stuff with it, its like a rollercoaster, hard to climb but the fall its amazing

Blender 2.8 apparently is an attempt to make it easier to use. So that you have a Learning CURVE and not a learning WALL.

I dunno, I feel like I had a better grasp of the pre 2.8 UI than the current one. Than again, I confess I didn't really take too much advantage of most of the tools Blender had to offer. And it probably shows.

I'm not angry. I'm just disappointed.

I love it. I especially like how Maya/Autodesk has a rather prim and proper attire, while Blender looks more like a down-to-Earth tomboy.

I know you can't improve perfection, but I think a good addition would've been to have 3D Artists raising an eyebrow.
