Just wondering if animation / post production studios make tools for the industry, beyond pixar, Weta and Framestore? As far as I can tell most of these types of studios are end users, although they do a lot of coding when it comes to shaders - but those are for internal use typically.
I know blender started out as an animation package developed by an animation studio but after it transitioned to the blender foundation I’m not sure how many productions have been created by blender foundation besides peach and elephant dream.
Anyways I just found it kind of odd.
