I think Blender is the most exciting software being developed today. I really think we are on the cusp of an indie cg film/show golden age like what Hollywood has in the 70s and 90s.

The possibilities with CG are sky high but the barrier to entry has been equally so. Lots of money and man hours. But I truly think the next ten years will be exciting and that something like on the level of Star Wars will be made by a small team collaborating remotely.

I think Blender is really user friendly.




Have you looked at the stuff Ian Hubert makes with Blender? I’d definitely classify the kind of work he does with blender as indie cg golden age.

Seriously, though, Blender is incredible, and I really really enjoy using it frequently on my own film projects. It’s a joy to work with.


Totally. I love his DIY attitude and dispelling the idea that it’s super hard to make ‘good enough” vfx shots. The way I see it, the missing component is acting, and sound design, music too, but you can really start to actually do it yourself. Like we are nearing the reality of a like DAW UI which plays stories instead of music. Exciting times.
