Why artists should welcome AI, not fear it

Andrew Price, better known as Blender Guru is one of the most influential educators in the 3D world. What began as a YouTube channel teaching the basics of Blender has evolved into a global classroom, guiding millions of artists through tutorials. His iconic Donut Tutorial has become a rite of passage for beginners. He is back for round 2 to the Bad Decisions Podcast.

In this episode, Andrew sits down with us to unpack SIGGRAPH 2025 and the big question: Will AI take over 3D? From Blender’s newest tools to AI in storytelling and the rise of indie creators, we explore what these changes really mean for the creative industry.
