The 2024 animated movie Flow was done entirely in Blender. It is an incredible movie, highly recommend.

Blender was also used a bit in Everything Everywhere All At Once
And Into the Spiderverse for some stuff
Hot take: I hate when software just extracts an executable.
Fucking install it so that it's registered with the software updater and uninstaller. Don't make me remember that I have to go hunting in the folder to delete this one app.
Some people prefer it.
I maintain a small piece of Windows software and originally just provided an installer, but I received enough requests for it that now when I publish releases I provide both an installer and a zipped portable build.

- You don't need an uninstaller if deleting the folder suffices
- You don't want some software to update.

Assuming you are on Windows, the proper install method is to run
winget install -e --id BlenderFoundation.Blender

Kind of a moot point since most windows programs don't have a centralized hub for updates either, even when "properly installed" in program files.

Oh it's free so it lacks features
Exactly! And every proprietary software is by definition perfect cause it is subject to the forces of the open market. Subway eat fresh and freeze, scumbag!

If you don't count professional software, nowadays it's actually the opposite. Very often in proprietary software there are features removed with no alternative provided by developers, or there's one but actually it has nothing to do with what you actually want.

I just got blender after having last looked at it ten years ago. It looks so much better! I had an easy time finding stuff. If you tried it in the past and are afraid of how ugly it was it is worth another shot. Also look up the doughnut tutorial.
I'd like to make it like that for my projects, but I don't use windows so I can't do well with packaging them. And sometimes when I try it runs in the computer, but then doesn't run in other computers because of missing dlls or some other things.
Anyone have good idea how to make it easy. Using windows VM is such a hassle to install and such just for tiny programs I make.
Make them in a portable language. Something like Java for example. Or you can write in rust and compile for each target.
It's in rust. Problem is the gtk part, it has to be installed in the system, which makes it run there. But how do I distribute the program without having everyone install gtk on their computer. In Linux it's just a dependency so it's not a problem, for windows I can't seem to make it work.
Edit: also, I need gtk because people around me who uses windows aren't going to use CLI program at all.

Bravo. Truly an exceptional meme.
