The problem is often academic capture. Universities teach Autodesk software and most companies expect you to use Autodesk software.
Blender also isn’t really a CAD software. There are other free CAD programs, like open scad and FreeCAD (is that the name) but I’ve heard mixed opinions on whether they’re really up to the task of replacing Autodesk.
Neither is Maya, the listed Autodesk product which Blender directly (and somewhat successfully) competes against.
FreeCAD covers a lot of ground, but is most comparable to Inventor from the Autodesk suite. I still think Inventor wins out but FreeCAD has made leaps and bounds recently.
Autodesk is more than CAD, like Adobe is more than Photoshop
My animation program teaches mostly blender :) But it’s in Europe
And it’s animation, not architecture and engineering.
My high school STEM classes taught us how to use Autodesk Inventor and I can use it very well now but it’s hard to pick up another CAD software without it feeling weird.
That’s why your school got it for pennies.
That’s why Apple sells at near cost to schools.
Walk into the garden, don’t mind the walls, enjoy your stay, you won’t want to leave.
Blender can be used for scripting though, via its BPY.
Recently integrated that in a Django project for checking and correction of uploaded 3D models.
Blender is without competitor in that regard, especially with these capabilities.
Did not know Blender is Dutch. Awesome!
Autodesk is evil. They buy out all the competition, kill any perpetual licensing, increase the prices and then kill the project when all the value is extracted.
I use blender for 3d modeling, renders, then 3d print. Plus it automatically updates with steam.
So useful with huge online support and free. Can’t beat that.
Everything automatically updates if you use Linux…
Good to know! More reasons to join Linux!
Autodesk = Adobe
Dat is geweldig, dat wist ik helemaal niet eens, joh!
Oh, like IKEA?
