autodesk products to animation/modeling studios is like steam to pc game developers though. its too widespread and has too much support to just avoid or ignore. that being said, you should make sure to export your models in various formats and not rely on it as your sole modeling tool due to the concern badspot brought up, but i doubt you'd do a full switch anyways given how much time you've invested into blender. |

Also which fornats do you recommend? Also Badspot what would you recommend for me? |
| Conan:
well the diff between blender and autodesk is one is free and keeps old versions available for download while the other costs like thousands of dollars and has no free versions to let you export models you may make while on the trial any model format that is common to many modeling programs is a good idea as a "backup" file: iirc .fbx has the most support for things. |

Ive seen resumes turned away for Blender preference. --- Quote from: Filipe on August 15, 2017, 12:37:23 PM ---Also which fornats do you recommend? Also Badspot what would you recommend for me? --- End quote --- Baddy is right, versioning is an issue if you're trying to open native autodesk files with an older version of that program. I think you'll be alright with Autodesk. As long as you export projects you want to save as an FBX you can open files across any version. (At-least, I haven't had any issues from version 2015 to 2017) Also, Ive had my student account for 6 years. It expired once about a year ago to which I simply re-signed up for the student version again. No issues. |
