BLENDER IS NOT FREE!!! #b3d

That's another great way to contribute as you help two people at the same time.

I gave the Blender foundation 10/mo for 44 months. Best $$ I've ever spent.

if ALL users in blender donate at least 5$ dollar a month, blender would be improving like sky rocket! c'mon guys.. donate at least 5$ /month.... is nothing..

It's a key aspect that is often not passed clearly... most people have a notion that someone is paying, but they don't have to.

Definitely agree with you, its generally overlooked but I agree, giving them 5-20 bucks is not a big ask when you consider how much a take out coffee is.

Thanks Bob!💜

Blender is free to use, not free to develop. This is what I've been preaching for the last two years. You want Blender to get better faster. Donate to support the development. It's that easy and not that expensive as buying commercial software.

since adobe just dont care about us artist, i think the foundation has great point and deserve all donations they can get

The Blender Foundation could crowdfund some new features demanded by the public, for now, big companies should fund it regularly, I don't see another source of income, Blender is not used in production, doesn't have those features, maybe a new idea will arise in the future.

What they need is big players like ILM who have the money and resources to make Blender better to contribute and share the tech but that is very unlikely to happen. UBIsoft does though.
