[GIMP - Free & Open Source Image Editor]

ive been using gimp from time to time since i was 8. i mainly made avatars, wallpapers, signature bars, banners, logos. I never achieved professionalism though lol. I was always really curious whether this tool can compete with Photoshop because my skills wouldn't let me to create anything better. But some people prefer Gimp over Photoshop

[Has Blender 2.8 surpassed Maya (and a lot of other modeling rendering programs)?]

wow, ive been using blender for long, even before 2.8 (design was kinda ugly, but now its great) but that model on the video is really perfectly made. i doubt i can do anything similar.

 

as if whether blender is better than maya or not, i dont know but blender received huge 1million funding recently from epic games for no particular reason. it will only continue to grow. for me its 100% enough though
