I understand that sharing video, photos, documents etc. is relatively safe because the data is not executed in the processor as instructions. How come people are willing to download and install pirated software though? How can one be confident that it does not contain malicious addons? Are people just don’t know the risks? Or are there protection mechanisms that I am missing? I mean since the software is usually cracked there is not much use in comparing checksums with the originals, is it?
If i were to pay for an AutoCAD license , it would be over 200$ A MONTH
That’s why I’m learning Blender, I think I’ll be able to carry on without Maya.
Adobe isn’t pretty but Autodesk is a scourge
Maya is probably the best program to have known before Blender. Blender was definitely geared from day one to be switched to from Maya, 3dsMax and Lightwave (back in the day).
In other news, Autodesk is constantly accusing the company I work for of stealing licenses even though we over purchase licenses. They can go to hell.
I Love blender. I am also learning it but more because it works on linux unlike AutoCAD
Blender is fully capable these days, have fun!
