Join Jonathan Williamson and myself, Jonathan Lampel, as we talk about how Blender's Open Source GPL license affects the users and creators of free and paid Blender addons.
If you make addons, use addons, or are just spectating the Twitter debates about addon piracy, this is a discussion you won't want to miss!
but I'm still waiting for the 2.8x version
ggprizpah cgcookie is also a lot about the community I believe
2.80 has been amazing for Blender. Plenty of new customers for everyone
I paid for it!
Out of box. Don't you think new tutorials are affecting cgcookie. Especially many people coming after 2.81 . Not only cookie also other early teachers
Blendermarket December sales. I love them.
I think there are many people who try a "pirated" copy who then buy it because of that idea
Just thought of the Andrew Prince angle on this topic. I suppose you could argue that his paid addons enable him to invest time in producing free tutorials/
if we are optimists then everything is optimal
So I tried CG cookie for 2 years before I became a citizen. Took me a while to see if the content was worth it. I do similar research when it comes to software purchases.
