I feel like Dr Evil saying, but what about a million dollars?

Thats up to Ton isn't it? Unless I guess when it comes time to pass the torch he gives it to someone with differing values.

It's competition, Omar. Once a new and innovative thing pops up to shake the status quo, other businesses have to change and adapt to keep market share. If they go bankrupt, that's their fault for not adapting.

I didn't know Blender could be bought..that's an interesting thought. Surely at this point no amount of money would buy it

👍 thecabbagedetective

Hopefully they'd start developing tools for Blender. Even if they remain commercial tools, that's better

They could buy Blender out too but iirc they said they're not interested in money so goooood luck with that.

I mean what if everyone changes to Blender and paid software goes bankrupt

Exactly Kent

I can't imagine how commercial 3D developers could interrupt Blender's momentum. Sure they can throw more money at development for innovation's sake. But naturally Blender will assimilate their tech over time and we all benefit from it

They're always targeting Blender. I'm sure they've been keeping an eye on the progress. Probably have even tried to buy Ton out. Just like when Autodesk noticed the advantages of Scupltris.

We could rally like in Ready Player One

we'll have to hope that the .org will stay firm :) even in the light of heaps of $

But that's the circle of business life.

I'm a bit afraid actually that the industry will get mad that a free software could challenge them and ruin their money making apparatus and then target Blender in order to try and finish it off

Hi Grady.. good evening :)

Hey Grady.

Hey there Grady!

Be nice to see, would love to see Autodesk put in their place.

Afternoon all!
