“I use Blender 2.8 for a lot of my work,” Bommakanti said. One solution is to pursue open-source programs. These various subscriptions can add up for an emerging artist who wants to pursue an animation practice, or a creative professional building a freelance business.
Users will need a license for a rendering solution, such as V-Ray, Octane, or Redshift. In some cases, a dedicated simulation program is required-yet another license. If an artist is also developing a sculpture practice, programs like ZBrush and Mudbox are different from a standard 3D-modeling program. “Trying to freelance as a 3D animator involves paying a monthly or yearly license for a program, but then you'll need Adobe programs like Photoshop, Premiere, and After Effects, which is another subscription."
This flexibility may appeal to some artists, but there is a catch. The leasing/rental model allows for monthly or yearly payments. Industrial-grade programs are expensive, and students just coming out of school with debt, and learning how to work with loan repayments, are not thinking about investments to these programs.”
“A reoccurring issue for students,” he said, “is their fear that they will lose access to their mediums of practice after they finish school. With interests in various mediums, Bommakanti is passionate about open-source software and the open-source community.
