Pablo Picasso said “Good artists copy; great artists steal their creative software.”

This video is really, really good, and I'm SO MAD because my next video is about this exact thing. It's so exciting that people are really talking about how to deal with the modern tech landscape before it kills us. A million Autodesk users are gonna watch this and go 'I thought it was just me.'

Super Eyepatch Wolf sends his regards and praises. Also the whole Flash segment is super charming.

Y'know this is why I'm on the side of "Piracy is not theft" if creative software licenses keep perpetually being unobtainable for most artists.
@cathalogrady2331
man I feel privileged being a developer, where basically all the defacto software is not just free, but open source licensed. I can't imagine how it feels to pay that much money just to practice your skills.
@Katy133
Autodesk's "Flex Pricing" plan sounds utterly diabolical. 💀

The ending of your video reminds me about what Huey asked his granddad, "What do you do when you can't do nothing, but there's nothing you can do?" And his grandad responds, "You do what you can."
@pieseu2048
that's certainly one way of making something for your portfolio
@Runergy
sometimes you come across an actual captivating video on this platform and you get that feeling again. somebody cooked and it turned out delicious
@spiichkii
my grandma was an architect and made plans for thousands of buildings. after she retired she tried showing me all her project files but her autocad kept showing that stupid skullfuck of a paywall. this video made me feel seen. ty.

Your video was the final push I needed to sit down and actually learn Blender against my teacher's wishes
@theminecraft4202
yo ho yo ho, a pirate's life for me ...
@NourArt02
Flow winning the Oscar gave me hope that there is a place for open source software in this industry, Blender has come a long way, and with our help it might overcome 3DS and Maya

Also the characterization of “business wife” is spot on. They don’t care, none of the suits actually care about anything except making money for themselves, which usually means making money for the company. The cruelty is not out of evil or sadism, its because they have a nice dinner reservation that night. Places to be, people to hurt.
@zakmorgan9320
Im shocked at how well researched this video is. And the fact you updated wikipedia. This is an incredible video.
@GameUnionTV
Whoa, this escalated quickly! IMO: Blender is unbelievable and should be the first choice for any young artist these days. Also, a few days ago GIMP 3 has been released with non-destructive editing support. Which allows for many users to abandon Photoshop for casual usage.
@MorgueParfington
over an hour of 3D woes? in 3D? incroyable!
@SoreBrain
I didn't expect to feel emotional but I never realized that I stopped animating BECAUSE flash died. I never warmed up to a different program and changed hobbies. Macromedia flash 8 was so good 😭

Found this video through Super Eyepatch Wolf like others. As a 90's kid who also learned 3DS Max because it was a requirement for my local college's "Animation Technology" degree, I connect with your experiences. I too got a non-animation job to make ends meet, and eventually swapped to Blender when I had nowhere else to turn. I initially did everything I could to customize the Blender UI to make it more similar to 3DS, but ended up just admitting that I needed to start over fresh and start learning again. It's been 10 years since I graduated, and I've never had a job in animation. I just do it in my spare time. Love your animations in this vid btw. Also the humor :)
