Legacy is legacy, y'know? More ready made tool and scripts, tutorials and video learning. What makes them better than blender is just the fact that there's more money behind it. Whenever blender comes up with something truly unique, the major players just copycat them.
Opensource tenders to be by the people, for the people, but like most projects that are quasi-communism, there is no real motivation to have high production values in training seminars or said training in the first place.
If you are a self guided learner, this is fine. If you have the free time, this is fine... but where commercial software wins is when the industry makes a major shift. Like in recent memory, the change to PBR materials. When you have to change the entire way you bake materials to accommodate ray tracing or change the way you model something to accommodate nanite, there will be professional training in person you can buy from one of the big 3.
With blender. . . you don't really have that crack team of "We need to train the entire studio on nextgen pipelines THIS MONTH" groups.
I do some hobby 3d rendering in blender. How does that tool compare to the professional ones?
