After the recent 97th Academy Award Ceremony, in particular with the best animated film won by Flow, I almost tempted to state that I don't need to continue writing this blog; why?
Because Flow has been realized with Blender, one of the best opensource software for CG & 3D artists. A software capable to provide professional tools for modelling, animation, rendering, compositing, video editing and more. Blender already imposed itself as standard in the video game industry, however it was missing the final consecration in the movie industry, and eventually it has arrived this too!
Stating that opensource software for artists and designers aren't professional is an affirmation no more acceptable! Today we should start dividing these creative professionals into the ones that are proficient with both opensource and non-opensource software and the ones that only know the latter. A big chunk of professionals still under estimate — and worse totally ignore the existence — the opensource software for artists and designers.
The status of the opensource software for designers and artists is still uneven, with Blender playing the role of the beacon for all the other projects. However there is a small group of talented and stubborn people that didn't give up at the first difficulties and were able to unleash a potential, in terms of creativity and production, that is totally impracticable to achieve with the non-opensource software, and allowed them to be successful and compete with the others agencies that heavily rely on non-opensource software only.
I'd like to share some of them to show off how their approach is professional, open and innovative:
Today anyone that is interested in creative agencies or free-lancers able to really thinking beyond-the-box and that value ethics as necessary step in their creativity process, whether is a person or a company, needs to looks toward these people that are literally reinventing a whole industry. These people pushed the boundaries of their creativity exploiting their knowledge and skills on opensource, and what they offer is pure talent.
At RenderData.Pro we follow the same path, we study and rely on opensource, we mastered it! And even though we are still learning, we are proud to offer a product and an approach to publishing automation that is totally innovative, but most important really helpful for our customers!
