		potatolicious on Oct 14, 2021 \| parent \| context \| favorite \| on: Apple Joins Blender Development Fund Wait, how so? Isn't Blender a pretty direct competitor to 3D modeling and rendering tools like Maya and 3dsmax? AFAIK you can't directly author 3D models in Unreal, if anything Unreal has a dependency on tools like Blender. There is some competitive overlap, but that seems mostly within the realm of real-time vs. offline render for producing video content?

You can do 3D modeling directly in Unreal, but it's very limited compared to something like Blender.
