Blender is great
Problem is nobody is really sure, specifically HR, what TAs are. Seriously. It's terrible. So probably half of those demanded jobs are NOT TA jobs.
Awesome talk, very timely 😀
That-one-blender-guy done a good job in his quest of converting CG pagans into holly FSF😄
Wow, I had the same experience this year, and even more
I'm great with unreal but Blender is absolute cake, i'm not gonna posh laugh with the party here… I think blender is the best way to learn and even preview shader nodes since the compiling is instant while unreal takes a long minute to compile just to preview it.
Great talk, lots of usable info! Thanks!
