When I first tried Blender, I thought it was simply awful. Even very simple stuff we tried to import, using relatively common file formats, completely broke. So fast forward several years later. Okay, its better. A lot of those kinks are worked out on imports, or so Ive seen so far. I have nothing against FOSS - in fact there are a couple of projects I love, love, love.

We've decided to take the plunge and start offering some content in Blender format, much as we do for Vue, Bryce, Shade 3D and Poser / DS. Is there really a content market? I know there's the all-you-can-eat type market out there - I mean people who are interested enough (or have work needs) to actually jump into paid for content. I am seeing a lot of good Blender renders out there, but I haven't yet seen a professional ecosystem yet.

Im not name calling here - Id just like some honest feedback. We just shipped our first product supporting Blender and I have no real numbers yet to say anything substantial in regards to numbers, feedback, etc.

Best regards,
