When you search for blender, you find Grease Pencil, Eevee, Bendy bones.and a lot of nice features, but tell me how many productions are using them? None, because all of them looks nice if you do you own work or you do a small short knowing their limitations, but they are not working at 100% when you put them on a full pipeline and if you want to do them, you'll have some handicaps and you'll have to code a lot to make them work between people. They are doing a lot of things, as always, but first they need to deliver and then they need to fix and make it to a production quality. I talked with other friends at other studios or people from blender and everyone is having the same problems, for example, not having a good library like studio library to share animation between animators it's a problem if you want go fast on a TV show because actions are a bit arcaic to use and share or animation layers are not working at all (there's a paid addon to make them a bit better like they are in maya), so I don't think it's the time to move out from maya, even when maya is not updating at a good pace it's still better for a real production.

Problem is that eevee is nice to render some personal animations and blender is ok if you plan to do your own animations, sculpting, rendering or whatever, but when you need to produce on it and share data between depts plus work fast and reliable is a big big problem.Īt our studio we are trying it on a small teaser and the pipeline has a lot of big holes that needs to be coded here and there to make things smooth and there are a lot of places where it's slower than maya and you can do nothing, like creating alembics or opening a scene that's on the vpn instead than local.
