I wouldn't call Blender a "toy". It's biggest drawback as open source coding is funding. So it's actually taken a page from the DAZ play book recently and it's starting to use funding from other sources and incomes it has created to help support itself.

False, Earl. Let's not do this today. And let's not do a blender-maya-max software war either.

Take this as being the same type of being uninformed as the fact that most of us in the know knew about the SM layoffs back when they happened and we were waiting to see how long it would take for the rest of you to find out. It's the beginning of April, correct?

Umm, false how exactly? Blender is open source and does take donations. And to help itself with funding, as I understand it, at least, they've just created a subscription based service, called Blender Cloud. It's right there on their Blender.org web page. And I don't know anything about Maya, or max , and I didn't mention them, so I don't know how or where you think I'm trying to start some kind of software war over them.

You said it's taking a page from DAZ which is false. Since when does DAZ take donations? Read your own quote.

EDIT: You changed your original post from it saying Blender was taking a page from DAZ. That's why it's out of place now.

This is off topic anyway and you're right in TOS violation area, you should probably put the brakes on all this. If you all want to argue the virtues of blender you should probably start another thread.
