Most add-ons I've looked into have heavy overlap with existing features that people simply haven't learned about yet so they think the add-on is the only fast or easy way to do it. If you learn the full extent of Blender's stock capabilities and learn the hotkeys, many timesaver add-ons are not timesavers at all. And if you use free assets and keep an organized folder structure of your past projects, then you have a large library of assets to use and paying for additional assets feels more like burning money and robbing yourself of experience of how to make things, which decreases your flexibility and effectiveness in the future since you relied on paid asset packs to hobble things together instead of learning how to efficiently make exactly what you need. Most crucial/obvious necessity add-ons are free, and I haven't been convinced yet of paying for any add-ons for the above reasons.
@KaizenTutorials 6 місяців тому
Thanks for sharing your insights. I agree that you can do almost anything to an extent in Blender and knowing how to do stuff is great. For example I know how to make foliage assets in Blender. And I could spend a month or 2 making 100's and saving them for future use. However I don't see how that would ever be better than spending $100 to get 100's of assets without all that effort? But I understand where you're coming from and I believe it's one of those things where everyone feels differently on the matter.
@AdrianSmasher1 6 місяців тому
Not always the case I regret wasting time fucking around with vanilla blender should’ve just went with addons day1. Hardops boxcutter meshmachine decalmachine machintools and cablerator are just a must have for me. I wont even open blender if i dont have them. Saying that u can do everything in vanilla blender is moronic and a tbh its a shitty mentality to have. Time > money. And dont tell me you can replicate what the addons I mentioned do at the same rate of speed as using vanilla blender lol
@mustaphaelabridi6332 5 місяців тому
Dont forget that u can actually sell the assets once ur done, that helps u make money too
@Purpolorpul 5 місяців тому
Sorry, but that's just not correct and misleading. There are no substitutes for meshmashine, hardops/boxcutter overall. Yes you can make some cringe workarounds with 10 steps or whatever, but why not do in one click with an addon? Vertex Group lacks lots of features in vanilla blender and Popup Vertex Group addon solves lots of those problems. Retopology is so bad in Blender that it could be considered non-existent in Blender. You simply don't have what QuadRemesher or Retopoflow offers. Some minor addons like Save Selection is simply not in blender. Yes you can make a vertex group then assign group and when you need to select given selection you go back to Data tab and choose vertex group, while you can just Save selection and restore selection with one click. That's was just a surface of problems and gaps in blender.
@joshhockey9 5 місяців тому
@@Purpolorpul Cas has a point though. There are many people who think those add-ons are the only way to possible do things, when 99% of it exists in Blender already, and has been repackaged as a specialized workflow. Which is fantastic and you should absolutely get them when it makes sense, but there is a side effect where people end up shortchanging themselves from a deeper understanding of the program and experience which can only enhance the use of those add-ons.

I get what you mean and it's true to an extent. For me the main advice I can give (which only applies if you make money with 3D) is that you should try and look at 3D globally. The beauty of 3D and the internet is that you can find work and clients anywhere on the world. So if you're good at what you do finding clients in e.g. the US should be perfectly possible. This will allows you to make a US level of income, even living somehwere else. But yeah otherwise you're right.

Landlord requires cash, he doesn't care. Lol
@KaizenTutorials 6 місяців тому
Absolutely! Thanks for the kind words. If you mean how much a good addon can make when you sell it; 100's of thousands. Just look at something like hardops which has sold around 35000 copies on Blendermarket alone, times $38 is over a million $. But realistically I'd say if you do a good addon it should make you anywhere from $5000-15000.

From my layman understanding of licensing (I can be easily wrong), most of the add-ons using the Blender python API should be licensed under GPL, meaning that you have the right to redistribute it. That is not true for included assets, as they are independent from using the Blender API.
@mrlightwriter 6 місяців тому
Yes, I think you're right. However, the truth is that the majority of paid add-ons are only paid.

@alexpaciniat 6 місяців тому
@@KaizenTutorials The main difference of blender to other 3D modeling tools is that it is opensource and supported by the community and donations. By not complying with the blender developer wishes in terms of openness (GPL license) is also unfair. Otherwise, the same could be said for Blender itself, and then it would be as any other closed source software. Of course, compensating people with fair donations or helping with the development, should be the way to go with opensource software.

Copypasta from Blender's /about/license "Sharing or selling Blender add-ons (Python scripts) Blender’s Python API is an integral part of the software, used to define the user interface or develop tools for example. The GNU GPL license therefore requires that such scripts (if published) are being shared under a GPL compatible license. You are free to sell such scripts, but the sales then is restricted to the download service itself. Your customers will receive the script under the same license (GPL), with the same free conditions as everyone has for Blender."

OK off the bat. addon's are useful and can save you time depending on who you are and what you need them for. BUT professional or not, Add-ons should be free, for all, no matter why or who you are, make money from producing content, movies, games, whatever else, but making money from code is no better than paid software, it is anti-community, it is extending Blenders core code so others can use it effectively and ways that are central to everyones benefit, that is why the more paid add-ons make Blender no better than other proprietary software, it needs to stop this is getting worse because everyone is trying to make money from blender however they can, but it's not helpful, everyone including the creators of add-ons benefit from all add-ons for free, and get back more than just money from doing so, no matter how much time you spent making the add-on or not! OPEN SOURCE, stay open! i hate this argument of making money from add-ons because it is emotionally charged by monetary slavery!

I get where you're coming from, but if it were free there would only be a fraction of the addons available, at a fraction of the quality. Addons would be few and far between, slow in development and will probably never receive updates. Hardly no-one has time to make proper addons, besides their job and daily life, for free.
