I think that trying to change Autodesk politics is hopeless. Thousands of times people have spoken on forums (even on their own one) and blogs how they feel about the politics of AD and the development of their products but they don’t seem to care.

What about plugs? The major superiority from 3ds over the others are the plugins IMO, forest pack pro, railclone, viz park, etc… How to get all that working in Blender? We work with huge files that takes 64+ Gb ram to render with loads of Xrefs etc, is Blender capable of handling all that without…
