Makes sense since we Dutch are know to be stingy people and we all pirate software.

Did not know that either - Iโ€™ve recently discovered that a lot of the things I use are already European!

Iโ€™d recommend looking into the history of it a little. itโ€™s crazy how committed this guy was to the idea of blender and more importantly his principles.

in the last few years blender went from being a joke to not only formidable competition but possibly the best software for a lot of use cases. funnily enough blender3d is probably the best 2d animation tool out there.

I also remember blender was considered a hobbyist tool and in last couple of years it has been used more and more for hardcore professional stuff (note that Iโ€™m not in the field to know the specifics, might be for much longer).

Hereโ€™s to hoping FreeCAD reaches similar status!

yeah thatโ€™s what I meant. it was updated at a snailโ€™s pace up until 2.8, and then the dam broke. itโ€™s been getting updated so fast now itโ€™s hard to keep up honestly. somehow it doesnโ€™t feel as bloated as Adobe AI or PS.

I still canโ€™t wrap my head around Blender. Itโ€™s so different from Maya. Someday I can dedicate a week to learn Blender.

As someone who appreciates open source, there are plenty of reasons in addition to the Dutchness to choose blender.

โ€ฆ Is another reason that the logo has orange in it?
