But if you still use 2.8 the upgrades aren't a concern

>>1027152
Most of my Addons dont work anymore. Enough with Schizo updates

>>1027153
complaining when superhive has legacy downloads for older blender versions. shutup nerd lmao

>>1027153
poop from a butt

>>1027153
If you really were using 2.8 that wouldn't be a problem either because you wouldn't be updating your addons either

>>1027148
... but blender doesn't even update once a month?

>>1027148
2.8 users are subhuman
get with the times grandpa. use 4.1 at least (eevee next sucks dick and balls)

>>1027170
I still use Photoshop CS5
No. I wont upgrade

>>1027171
You shouldbe using krita or gimp anyway

>>1027148
That commit button is just so easy to press. And what if your pc dies and you lose all the commented out code you've Ben adding and removing inbetween breaths?

>>1027148
The pace of the updates is kind of annoying given the fact that a blend file saved on an even slightly newer version simply won't open on a slightly older one.

Why is this tolerated? How can anyone be expected to stay up to date rather than linger on old versions when Blender aggressively refuses to be compatible with itself?

It's also kind of ridculous how frequently they're incrementing the main version number now. v2.0 to 3.0 represents an entire decade of development, But 3 to 5 is what, five years?

>oh nyo software is getting too many updates
Get a load of this guy

>>1027195
Thats what killed Windows 10

>>1027170
Agreed. Either go back to 2.79 for the Blender Internal render engine, or 3X/early 4X for stability.

2.8/2.9 are that awkward middle period where things are just off enough.

t. someone who went through that period as it released.

>>1027196
What killed win10 is it would stop getting updates

>>1027190
Same as all dcc software, don't upgrade to anything but fixes (ie only the third number changes) in the middle of a project. No one's holding a gun to your head and forcing you to update.

>>1027148
just dowload the zip or tar.xz, extract the folder ...

For context this is what this schizo is rambling about https://download.blender.org/release/
And some of those updates are LTS updates

>>1027148
This post would make sense if you were bitching about having to update all the time. But if you're still using 2.8 then idk what your problem is. You seem fine with not updating.

>>1027235
op is an autodesk user, they don't know they have a choice not to update

Gimp sucks huge donkey balls and isn't comparable to most Photoshop's advanced feature set. There's a shitload that Gimp still doesn't hold a candle to. Like ffs Gimp still doesn't have adjustment layers or smart objects. So you literally can't do shit non-destructively unless you flatten and merge every so often. Which makes it compltely useless for anything but very basic photo editing and hobbyist uses.
I'd use Photopea over Gimp any day.

>>1027148
You can stick to the Long Term Support (LTS) channel and the LTS version you use will continue to get critical bug fixes for two years starting from the day of its release.

I use photoshop 7.

if u hate photoshop but don't want to use open source jankware, get pixelmator pro from apple. 50 bucks for perpetual license. it's pretty decent.

i hate eevee next i hate eevee next i hate eevee next i hate eevee next i hate eevee next i hate eevee next

Any reason? Or is it like the guy who hates updates

>>1027385
I think he just hates updates. Though i don't get why he had to settle on 2.8 when it's objectively worst Blender.

>gimp
I'll stick to CSP 1.0 thank you. even if cunt shareholders are making me pay again for circular text.

>>1027287
True, I still use it for some things but for most Krita is better.

>>1027527
I'm not saying you should use Gimp. I'm saying you shouldn't because it's dogshit and anyone saying otherwise is fucking retarded. Reading comprehension is important.

>>1027556
oh damn it i meant to reply to the guy you replied to. misinput my bad

>>1027287
it's interesting. people say that and I can see it. but I've been using gimp since I was a child and I think I got used to all the bullshit. every once in a while I have to use photoshop and I hate it, even though it definitely looks cleaner and it has more features
the non-destructive editing, for instance. I often think about how useful that would be. yet, my life goes on without it

>>1027287
The only thing Gimp has over anyone else is the poly select tool. Everything else has been done better in Photoshop, CSP and Krita.
