Which of the major shops are using Blender?
Edit: This question isn't a dig against Blender, y'all, I'm genuinely interested in where Blender is seeing industrial use, as the article doesn't touch on this!
Unreal Engine has been pushing Blender a lot too, and attracted hires from ILM, they mentioned this a lot in their video podcast.
A lot of the time you only know a company is using something like Houdini because they pay for the promotion or give the customer a big license discount.
"Here at X we used Y for Z."
Very cool! Do you know if they are using Blender for modeling, or otherwise? I hear ILM is mostly prman on the rendering side, these days.

I believe larger game studios and vocational schools entirely use 3ds Max or Maya. I don't think the traditional game industry has much of a culture in Blender.
