/3/, with all of the loathing and abhorrence you all seemingly have for him, what exactly has he done to deserve that? In other words, what the FUCK is your problem with Andrew Price / Blender Guru?
Since you haven't noticed it yet, they hate everyone who's successful with hobbies they share
i'm a very sad person who thinks his place in life is undeservedso i get really angry when i see well adjusted people who enjoy their hobby and, more importantly, get decent money from that hobby as you may understand by now, yes, i hate everyone who's good at 3d and enjoys himself
>>711095He has an unlikable face and voice.Also I think he is a lowbrow retard, or at least far into the autismo spectrum.Finally, he is not that skilled.
>>711095>poliigon gets destroyed by Substance and QuixelOH NO NO NO HAHAHAHAHAH
>>711095Andrew Price is relentlessly handsome. I want to kiss him relentlessly.
>>711106>Polligon literally using SD to create materials to sell to blendletsHow is that getting btfo?Also in Andy's defense, their HDRIs are really great and I unironically paid and downloaded most of them.
>>711106idk bout that. I got the month subscription like a year ago, and u had it for like 6 months. and by that time I had like 1000 credits, so i just bought as many textures as i could. and I got to keep them all even when I canceled my subscription.
>>711095I see far more memes than hate.
>>711111ur fkn gay
>>711095/3/ has like five no-life losers, who hate on everything. Just a very loud, obnoxious, tiny minority.Andrew Price is fine. His style is very good for entry/mid level. Voice and mood are friendly.It's just incels like >>711103and >>711104who envy him, cause he put in the effort and succeeded, while they just hate and don't seem to realize that they too could be better, if they spent their time on improving skills and not pointless flaming.
No hate, just mild annoyance at seeing his face everywhere on YouTube (which admittedly is a problem with YT's algorithm). Also, he spreads inaccurate information and confuses beginners. He adheres to the face-cam trend and thus contributes to lowering the average quality of video tutorials, because given his popularity he's kind a role model in that regard. And, most importantly, he's a poseur. Not a big one, but a poseur nonetheless. In the field of art, this is a capital sin.
He's Australian. I hate all Australians. I have to live around them. They are the worst. Fuck Australians.
Some people don’t like blender, so they may not like people who prefer to use it as much. It’s too biased but it’s how it is. Also some people don’t care for Poliigon. I don’t like that his tutorials use textures from Poliigon so I have the choice of searching for some other shitty texture online or sign up for his service.
>>711095he's a homosexual
>>711142based>>711095top lad, even with his wonky mouth sneer
>>711095I only ever see the one guy called anonymous shit on the donutlord.
>>711142Why do you dislike Australians, anon?
>>711102Fpbp. Should be stickied in every board
>>711095Hes a fucking scumbag, if i made a list of people i would want to kill he would be in top 3.
Hes literally (you) if you were successful, enjoyed /3/, and made video content.He even makes bad jokes like (you).
>>711540Elaborate
his tutorials are not that interesting and aimed for absolute beginners,true he's successful and all but there is nothing to learn from him.
>>711095I actually liked the guy until I sat through the podcast with the flipped normals guys. I went from thinking he was a nice guy who occasionally did things that could be misconstrued as scummy, to seeing him as a scummy guy who does things I was misconstruing as nice. He's just another guy chasing money, and the 'helpful tutorial' persona was just advertising for his subpar paid shit.
>>711726>until I sat through the podcast with the flipped normals guysWhat did he do?
>>711095He is a true blue Australian hero, mate.
>>711726Do you have a URL or something? I wanna know what he does.
>>711730>>711741https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BRWAx3bnNcQ&t=454sMaybe I'm just being too autistic in my interpretation, but I feel he made it clear in this interview his priority is Poligon, and his rant about trying to make a paid add on in open source software rubbed me the wrong way.
>>711095He's fine. His tutorials are good for beginners. He's not really a devoted 3d artist per se, more of a Blender / Poliigon sales rep. No fault in that, everyone needs to make a living, but the ubiquitousness of donut renders really put him on the meme map.
>>711768>his priority is PoligonI don't see the problem. It's his company, of course it's his priority. I love Blender, too, but not to the point that I'd lose my job and become a hobo for it, which you are essentially demanding by the alternative being putting Blender before his job.
>>711726>He's just another guy chasing money>hey man can you do 10,000 hours of work for me, thanks>sure how much are you paying me?>what are you, some kind of faggot who chases money?? scum!imagine being this retarded
>>711726You just achieved peak blendlet. Congratulations.
>>711812>>711810I summed it up the wrong way, let me sum it up in a different way.>Andrew in his pitch video: Hey kids, come learn blender, it's free, it's the way of the future, and it has a great community. >Andrew is his interview: You know what, fuck blender, fuck the fact that it's free, and fuck the blender community. And yes, I realize there is nothing wrong with any of those statements. Right now I use nothing but Maya, and I shit on Maya all the time. People shit on the people who pay them all the fucking time. I just found the personality shift jarring, it's just me, I realize that now. I acted the same way when I found out that Bob Ross was actually a perfectionist who actually painted every piece on the show three times (Once before the show, once during the show, and once after the show to sell) and none of the 'happy accidents' were actually mistakes and were scripted. It rubbed me the wrong way, but it doesn't change the fact that Bob Ross, and the Joy of Painting are awesome.
https://youtu.be/ZGwAnadNFEInew video about his wife totaling his car.time to scoop up that grass essentials pack, blendlets
>>711768I hate FlippedNormals more than BlenderGuru. FlippedNormals really sounds like doomer Redditors and the way they speak is really nerve wrecking.BlenderGuru sounds like someone who is an absolute perfectionist and expects a lot from other people, more than what he could do if he were to do it. I think this way from watching hiscritiques.
>>711095I don't really care to hate him as a person, but he has a track record of spreading misinformation to his viewers and talking about concepts he does not fully understand.
>>711866Citation needed.[spoiler]Please spoonfeed me, I'm a blender noob[/spoiler]
>>711841Thats why you never trust other drivers and make sure they actually are changing lane before you commit.
>>711111Absolute homosexuality
>>711907Did you just assume my gender?
>>711208he's a lebbo cunt
>>711142Fuck off moot
4chan is now the place where people come to bitterly obsess about any popular figure related to their interests. Every board has this problem and it's fucking pathetic
its like seeing the kid you and your friends bullied in high school become mildly successful in what he enjoys. good luck to hin tho.
blenderguru is fine, he has a sense of humor, its those flippednormal guys that get on my nerves who talk like they have 5 sticks up their asses
>>711866>>711867his recent donut tuts have a few mistakes or him using inefficient selection methods.luckily the comments section has people calling out his mistakes and better shortcuts to use.
>>711095always like him and his work. helped me a lot with his tutorials. would give him good beer.
>>712374It's a pushback of eceleb culture that has gotten out of hand. You don't need to facecam a fucking modelling tutorial or play games on cam.
>>712848>You don't need to facecam a fucking modelling tutorialthisit's absolutely retardedI don't need to see the spergs face, all I want is to see how he does it
>>712460face-sucking blendlet detected
>>712848>>712852He's handsome so it's added value
>>712862irrelevant
>>712864not to my dynamic rigid body, if you catch my drift
>>712862>He's handsomeAll those donuts changed him from being some wimpy boi into a REAL MAN
>>712460>its those flippednormal guys that get on my nerves who talk like they have 5 sticks up their assesDid you know they work in the industry? Did you catch them mention that they work in the industry between the other times they mentioned they work in the industry? They work in the industry, doncha know.
>>712913Saying that you work/have worked in the industry is a necessary measure while publishing content on the blendlet-infested interwebs. It acts as repellent, helping to keep the discourse somewhat clean and professional. Sadly, the blendlets have been developing resistance, and the effectiveness of this protective method becomes worse every day.
>>712916Or it could be they realize they aren't really that good, and have nothing unique to offer, so they stress their industry work to stand out. Like shitty people who live off of patreon by going>I'll have you know, I'm a game developer.
>>711095I dislike the guy because others are way better, but have less exposure.Particularly flippedNormals, CGMasters.His videos are ~20mins long, and contain content that would easily fit into 2min.And it's obvious that he himself only half way understands, what he is talking about.
>>711095How can you not dislike pretentious hacks like him?
I was neutral towards him until I saw this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZpfUJDxEfz4I bet the people at the studio, after his visit, began to dislike him even more than the cramped rooms of their workspace.
>>713390*crammed, but I guess cramped works too, lel.
>>713390>>713391>Not wanting to play Nerf with your fellow Aussie BlendermenThis is why Autodesk is finished.
>>711102/thread/3/ is full of shit, memes and rage, thats why the board is so dead. If you want to learn actual 3d, go anywhere else but here
>>711095I don't hate him, but I don't like him either. Here's a few things that irk me about him.>long ass tutorials that should at best take a few minutes>facecam>claims to be an artist, but doesn't actually grasp fundamental concepts>overexposure when there's other people that have a better grasp on the subject, or wastes less time>hasn't really worked in a professional setting yet gives off some air of superiority like he has>people take his tuts at face value and don't go off on their own to learn more about the subject>constant shilling (I get that he's got a company and stuff though, so it's understandable)>he's got that "Youtuber" personality (that's probably just a given since you have to game the system, and you gotta do what you gotta do).This next one is a bit hard to explain though>makes average "3d" stuff and doesn't push the medium Generic still lifes, and other things that you see in 3d when people don't have a goal. It's hard to explain exactly what I mean. Like things without purpose, but don't really have artistic merit and don't stand on their own as art. They just exist. Like those renders in early 3d people would make of wine glasses and shit or a mirror ball on checkerboards. I don't have a problem really with him doing things to do it, or because he enjoys it. It just feels like there's no passion in his work, and that you don't feel anything looking at it. There's no personality. It's all sterile.Again, it's the hardest thing to explain what I mean.
>>714174I feel like /3/ is mostly full of people from /v/ that get into 3D so they can make their own shitty game. But they take their shitty /v/ personality onto here.As for Andrew, he's a business man. With a business degree. Of course he is going to try to make a product that he can sell. Of course he is going to plug in and advertise his products into his tutorials. If you don't have the same textures that he has for his tutorials then there's always the option to use different ones.
>>711095He was good when he made tutorials that helped you get your feet wet with blender. If you got good theres nothing left from him to give
>>711857Yeh iv really started to sour on the FN guys. They really are doomcucks. The irony is how often they shit on people outside the industry being out of date, which for sure is true, meanwhile they are how many years out of the industry and still making YouTube videos instead?I mean that's their perogative but I find it very hypocritical when their info is I think about 5 years behind. Sure they still have friends in industry but it's not the same. Things change fast in 3d. Some things don't change at all.
>>713390Americans are no fun allowed literally ahhahahahahab
>>714375This is correct and there's nothing wrong with it. He does some interesting general videos like the lighting stuff but he really is an intro-level tutorial kind of guy. That's fine.
Cause he is better than us...>>711095
he is the reason i gave up on blender because i can barely find any search results for blender tutorials that aren't him
He keeps incorrectly using "vertice" as the singular of "vertices", instead of "vertex".
>>714562>because i can barely find any search results for blender tutorials that aren't himYou gave up because you're a literal idiot
>>711095because I'm miserable and spreading venom makes my life more bearable.Go stick your aids dick in blender.
>>711095Hi Andrew
most of his hour long tutorials are dependent on his endorser 'polilgon' to complete. hes a scammer basically.
>>716164Hey kid, wanna model some donuts?
>>716168He owns Polligon, He's not endorsed by them. He's literally shilling his own company. Which is kind of scummy, but kind of expected.Also, while I don't approve of the shilling, I'm pretty sure he gives out the textures and assets that he uses in the tuts for free if you check the description. You're not required to buy them. Again, I don't approve of the practice, but I can understand why he's plugging his company constantly (considering he's got a stake in it). Branching out into what he's doing with the textures and linking it with his YT is just good business sense. Not to mention it's a decent way to keep an income going if his YT "career" ever peters out.
he's not bad, sometimes I just don't like his presentation. he seems nice
>>716164nothing wrong with being the Suzanne of tutorials
He founded poliigon by fucking over an eastern european who he knew would never be able to pursue him, basically stole thousands of textures to launch his site. He's a millionaire many _many_ times over thanks to it. That and his constant pontificating about an industry he's never worked in. Never had to cut his teeth doing client work so why should anyone care what he has to say?
his tutorials are fine and if you weren't going to pay for them you can pirate them like everyone else does
>>716420>He founded poliigon by fucking over an eastern european who he knew would never be able to pursue him, basically stole thousands of textures to launch his site.I'm curious to know the story, do you have any link at hand?
>>716467There’s no link, just people in the industry who know. Nobody gets as rich as him without stomping on a few necks. Maybe I’m just A bitter freelancer though ;)
>>716168>ScanI think this is some cope from a jilted jealous wannabe standardlet that can't find a career.Poliigon on its own merits is a good site, I have bought stuff from their on occasion and have been happy with it. Andy fills a perfect niche, he has great detailed intro/beginner level videos in which he always provides free textures/assets from his site to follow along. Then the general theory videos which personally I have found quite insightful, he puts in a lot more effort than other YouTubers.Their plugin is a great material browser from blender if you have it too.He recommendeds people check out his good site. He also recommends other artists/sites regularly too.A scam? I can't see how.
>>716526Convenient. Sounds more like a story made up by anons larping as standardlets.If there was any truth to this it would have spread by now, if only due to the fact that the youtube community loves drama.
I don't care if this guy makes millions of dollars. All I care is that he makes great tutorials that are not boring to watch.
>>716537>he makes great tutorials that are not boring to watchI see.
>>711095Ian Hubert is the real blender guru
>>716594Ian Who?
>>716596https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Plw03MczF5s
Ian Hubert is not helping anyone using Blender, but he is good at explaining general techniques for scenes that are not the main focus of attention.
>>716643You can only do so much with a one minute gag tutorial. That said he does admit his stuff isn't really for beginners.
>>711540Yeah, sure, whatever, but why? That is what the thread is about.You cannot go into math class and yell random numbers for an hour, you have to show how you got there.
>>714174As someone new, just getting into Blender, where do you suggest?
>>717227Torrent Max/Maya/ModoFuck Blender and fuck Andrew Price and his autistic, self-absorbed cuntbaggery.
Today is the very first time I visited /3/. Toxic community for real, why are you guys so pissed off about Blender. Looks like a running gag to me.
>>717318welcome to the internet sweetheart
>>717318The only running gag around these parts is Blender itself.
>>717318>Looks like a running gag to me.
>>717318>Looks like a running gag to me.It's not a running gag. Claiming Blender doesn't have a bevel function is a running gag. > Toxic community for realMuch worse communities out there. I will admit we have fallen pretty far from the t/3/apot days. Very few people here actually do 3d anymore, and just pretend to, or argue about about software all day long. >why are you guys so pissed off about Blender.It's complicated. 1. Software wars on /3/ are even more retarded than /v/ gets during console war threads. 2. Blender went from a program nearly no one ever used since the UI sucked, to having a new AI, and a bunch of fancy tricks like real time rendering, and grease pencil that brought in a shit ton of newfags, so there is a backlash to that. 3. One guy is really pissed off about the aforementioned blender newfags who keep bombing autodesk youtube videos with stupid comments about blender. Seems like a minor complaint, but I see it brought up so often I might as well mention it.
>>717318every board has it's own war threads.and this isn't even one of them actually
>>711142fuck off arab
>>711142>t. Chang
>>711095Because it takes him like 5 videos to explain how to model and render a fucking donut
>>711095He's gay
>>711111wasted digits
>>711095DMC5
>>717839Not everybody is a fucking genius.
>>719083>needing to be a genius to render a fucking torus
>>711095I have not been on this board in years and I know nothing of the goings-on here in that time. Before coming here, needed to get a crash course on what changed in 2.8+ on youtube and how to use it and blahblahblah and all I could find was this faggot and his face. Had to install a browser plugin that would block his channel so I could browse with a cool head.Then I come here and see his faggot face is all over this board too. What the fuck. Fucking hate facefags and the narcissism that makes them think I'm at all interested in their stupid faces when I'm trying to learn shit.
>>719410>Had to install a browser plugin that would block his channelThank you for the tip, I'm now happily BlenderGuru-free.
