@@Shubham_Bahirat thats probably the hardware cause vega 8 isnt really good for tough 3d modeling or animation, you can try downgrading the version of blender so that the hardware can handle it more, like you can download blender 4.0 instead of 4.3, another way is to sell the laptop and buy a better specs laptop or a desktop pc that has also better specs ofcourse (desktop pcs are better than laptops in value and performance i think) ofcourse if you have budget, depends also on what kind of 3d modeling or animation you wanna achieve, if you wanna know whats the best specs for you, you can reply.
It's too bad Blender Foundation is running out of money. Whenever you make videos on blender, it'd be such a big help to include a small reminder to donate, but only if you can afford it. (If you have done this before, then I'm sorry for missing that.) Thank you for covering this in general, though. Your videos reach a wide audience, and a large portion of them have never used a 3d software. Showing the power of Blender in such a digestible format is really cool :) for those denying: less than 0.05% of active users actually donate. Blender is making an absolute miniscule amount of money compared to their services provided, and dedication to improving the software. If you are offended by this truth, or simply don't believe it, then you're the problem. Go donate. Even a dollar helps.
@mascarademermelada8746 sadly can not find the video that was posted about this, but basically, yeah. for blender to continue paying their developers, and improving the Software, they are currently making quite a miniscule amount. The more features blender has, the more money it costs to upkeep. They also plan on hiring many more devs.
Currently rendering the first scene of my short film being made with 4.3. the shot is 15 seconds and is looking to render for a total of 36 hours on my 4090 at 24fps.
Great video! We CG artists are a funny breed:New feature #2: Now we graduate to the actual physically accurate metal nodeNew feature #3: Finally we have control to break the laws of physics with light linking!We want physically accurate tools AND we want tools to break physical accuracy 🙃
lol sometimes we need to break it to achieve artistic desires, I’m psyched for the light linking to get those back rim lights without affecting the bg.
For some strange reason, I cannot wipe the mental image of Ren Höek from the Ren & Stimpy show presenting these new features in Blender. On a serious note: love the video, awesome and to the point!
It’s FKN mind blowing. I’ve worked in software most of my life on this planet. After 2 years with Blender, few commercial products even come close. Blender is literally the story telling software from beginning to end. Stay Curious.
Blender is one of the things that's constantly making me feel happy. 😃 Even with all the new tech, that UI docking and dragging may be what I'm most excited for. lol. I've constantly accidentally resized a dock and had no idea how to revert it.
wow. i started with 3D writing little 3d wireframe display software on a Z80 based computer. Then Sculpt 3D/4D on Amiga. I stopped back in the late 90s because I got sick from doing that kind of work. This is amazing for free.
I used to use 3ds max / maya for game dev, but that was and still is soooo expensive. I agree Blender is way better nowadays (I don't even need max / maya anymore) and it's awesome that the big corps finally have some competition. Thanks Blender!
Im glad they offer indie licenses at least which makes me still using both 3ds Max and Maya. But yeah its good that Blender exists and for more than just competition reasons.
It's not 'free', it's only free to use, because they rely on donations and alternate financing. So if you can remind people that they can donate to keep it going and get better features, that would be good. Nice video.
Awesome video but your colour temperatures are going the wrong way - closer to 1000K are the warmer tones, and 6000K is already quite cold, blueish. Your 7500K scene is getting warmer and warmer. Aaand having this software for free is mind blowing

Eevee even got real time cryptomatte support! Cycles still lacking that. That is so cool if you just wanna bloom a certain object in previz without rendering it out.
I know you said this a dozen of times already. For people outside US its really hard to pay for a program. We just dont have the same access to that virtual money, nobody paypals you etc etc.

As with most modelling and rendering software, the more the better really. The higher end the system the faster you can work and render. You should aim to maximize RAM size, CPU speed, and GPU speed though. Disk storage is important but can be easily expanded later. In general for a laptop you will want to ensure it has a dedicated GPU and not an iGPU (integrated GPU) and that it can cool itself well. Really 3D workstations are better being desktops since they tend to do better with sustained full load on CPU and GPU, say when rending a scene for 2 days straight.
@@EvokAiDepends on what you want to do in it. For grease pencil, modelling, rigging etc, even a relatively low end pc will work. For sculpting, simulations, large scenes, you need a good cpu and good amount of ram. For rendering and baking, you need a good gpu. I think a $1500 gpu will handle all of this well, especially if you go for used. Ofcourse there is no such thing as too good when it comes to productivity hardware as every drop of performance will save you time.
@@EvokAiBlack Friday sales on 4080 laptops maybe, if you can find 4080 or 4090 and a lot of ram at this price do it Otherwise, if you have a desktop add a 4090 into it if it’s capable enough to power it
Blender was made free because it's inconsistent with the Alt-click or Alt-Enter method to change multiple objects properties, weird due to the non-standardized workflow and incomplete because of no C++ API. Its features are still much better than 3ds Max's, although its animation and VFX tools are way behind Houdini's/ Maya's
It's open source thats why, AI should be open source too not in the least for the transparency it garantees ;) So stop fan boying Scam A ;P bote to devs instead of spending time on ui better intergrate an ai art gen like s.d. un the blender render nodes !
Let's not take the bait. The guy responding is just a troll with no real argument. I've been doing professional VFX for 13 years, working with tools like Max, Maya, Modo, ZBrush, and Substance. While each has its strengths, Blender stands out because it's an all-in-one solution that allows senior generalists like me to tackle any project efficiently. Blender evolves rapidly, with impressive updates every few months, thanks to its open-source nature and a massive community contributing to its development. Open-source projects, when well-funded, grow faster and perform better than proprietary software because they have broader support and collaboration. Compare it to Chrome-pervasive because it's open-source. Proprietary software, on the other hand, can feel like a sluggish drain on resources. You can stick to multiple VFX apps with expensive licenses, inconsistent workflows, and endless headaches, or you can use one powerful, free app like Blender, supplemented by a few paid tools when needed. It’s just smarter. At the end of the day, people need to realize not everyone is wasting money on Autodesk. If you’re frustrated about sinking time and money into slow, overpriced software, that’s on you. And yeah, typing while angry is never a good idea!
was most likely script writing out of habit (or a little hiccup). Most of the time, you don't think of softwares being free. either that, or it was a joke.
