Comment on Netflix Animation Studios Joins the Blender Development Fund as Corporate Patron

Comments

How does that translate into real cash?

well, what happens is netflix gives blender real cash. and thats the entirety of the translation

It's quite a bit of money, but a lot less than the equivalent Maya licenses. It would be great if more studios did this:

$240k "Press release, tech blogpost, dedicated product manager for your area" https://fund.blender.org/corporate-memberships/

Meta are paying $30k per year, which is crazy really, when you think how much Blender has assisted in getting content onto their platform. Nvidia is better at $120k, but again, think how many graphics card buys Blender cycles has driven.

Unless the membership pages is locale-specific, I believe the Patron level fee is actually €240k, not USD.
