Nice. Hope Godot takes of like Blender or Krita did. Would be cool to have some CAD sw as well…

FreeCAD exists (!freecad@lemmy.ml), but it seems like it has a ways to go before it can rival the likes of SolidWorks.

Wait did Krita already became an industry standard in the painting scene?

I think they just mean extremely popular within their segment, since AFAIK Blender hasn't become the industry standard in 3D yet either? I could be wrong about the latter though, since it's been a while since I looked.

Blender can be found in any professional studio today, doing some part of their pipeline, rarely all of it.

Thanks. That was pretty much my impression of the situation. Being used everywhere, but not the core of the pipelines at most places yet.

Also just started donating as well to the project. I'm really excited to see the improvements over the next year

Good stuff! Is Terraria built in Godot as well?

dindresto@lemmy.korz.dev · 20 pts · 2y

No they use XNA, hence the FNA donation

There are soooo many people I need to track down and say, "I told you so!" to regarding Unity vs Godot. Ownership matters. Own your platform!
