One has been learning Blender past week... having come from C4D.
Wow.... it's amazing.
The archipack add on is fantastic.
The materials, lighting, Eevee - incredible.
The quality of image gained is just stunning. On a 2013 iMac. Back in 2013 I spent hours rendering from C4D and it always had that 'computer graphics' look to it, looked shit frankly.
Whereas with Blender.. one weekend and I've got that nice realistic sunlight through a window onto wood floor look going on - and it looks stunning, no need to do loads of compositing.
Dive in guys. takes a few hours to get your head around the UI, shortcuts etc... but boom, once you get it.. and it's Free!!
- one thing you need on mac: the old roller ball might mouse, the newer touch mouse is useless, you need that middle button/roller.shapesalad
- every time i have a crack at it, i get beaten back by the sheer complexity of the thing.hans_glib
- im going to try to slowly change over. been on c4d about 14 years so going to be hell lol.where_am_i
- just binge watch youtube tutorials, follow some, play around. You'll get it. Concepts remain the same as in C4D, just a different UI which is surprisngly nicer.shapesalad
- < Forgot to mention that lovely light on a wood floored room interior - fucking realtime! unbelievable quality.shapesalad
- and I didn't need to learn octane or buy several gpu's or mess with unreal engine.shapesalad
- i have been on redshift on c4d since swapping from arnold about five years back. so may get redshift for it if I get into it. I just struggle to find time towhere_am_i
- commit to learning an entire new software, and for work obviously need the speed/knowledge of c4d. But I want to put an effort in. Maxon has lost the plot a bitwhere_am_i

Starting this, it's already made a bit more sense of the interface. C4D was a lot easier interface wise, but I think i can get my head round Blender.
-- WEEKS?!
I already learned C4D in a few daysgrafician - You could learn anything with your great big brain. It’s set out as a lesson per week, but it’s up to you how you want to do the coursePhanLo
- learned c4d in a few days.. ha ha, right... even the pros are still learning new things each day with it. you mean you got the basics in a few days.shapesalad
- WEEKS?!

@phanlo - checking out that course. Do you have issues with the shortcuts not being the same as hers?
- she hits ctrl rmb in object mode and her pivot centers to face. if I do same it extrudes face to mouse. couple other things too. driving me crazywhere_am_i
- I've just been watching it a few times for it to make sense before doing anything. Hopefully it works outPhanLo
- ah ok. Let me know if you have same issue. Training looks decent, she does go quite quick over some stuff then slow on others but guess that's all tutswhere_am_i

- lolneverscared
- I've been part of the fund itself for over a decade, actually. You were the one who assumed Blender didn't have money to hire a UI developer. LAST WEEK.monospaced
- You even said you would never use Blender and acted like it didn't have funding. That's why I pointed the fund out to you in hte first place.monospaced

- Did this one about a week ago. Lots of baking and rendering.sausages
