Blender Discord Server!

[Meku Maki]

discord.gg/blender is the leading resource for thousands of CG Artists. Anything from Blender newbies to Blender Professionals or Instructors are welcome here. I believe it is the fastest way to have your questions answered and to gain experience from other great 3D Artists.

It is also a hub to gain access to other Blender related discords. So whats stopping you from joining the best blender community?!!

This is not listed on https://www.blender.org/community/ , So I kinda doubt that in is official.

It actually is a partner discord invite code, but then again it could just be some popular kid got finally verified by being a big community.

yeah not hard to get partner, I think both the blender discords I am in are partner.

I run the Facebook group that is on that link. We are in a process to get the discord also added there too. Its been up for a year already, none of the other blender discords can offer that.

None of the other blender discords are partnered.

The Blender Foundation loves all community initiatives, we don't have "official" community sites, nor do we support such a status.
I would appreciate if "Blender Discord" would clearly present themselves as independent, and not referring to be official or using the Blender logo.

Having community sites listed on blender.org is common, anyone can get links there (for decent and active websites). That doesn't make these sites official or recognised. Just linked.

If you have questions, use foundation (at) blender.org email!

Thanks.

I joined that discord a while ago and it's a great one. Get some good help and C&C on artwork I post.
It's a good community.

here is a goodsite for help and questions that is widely accepted but not official
https://blender.stackexchange.com/questions/ask
i don't think using a discord would be a good idea

As requested, removing Official from the list as everything is not official / everything is official.
Whether or not something is official or not, The Blender Community at discord.gg/blender is still the largest and most supported blender discord in some parts of the overall Blender community.

Asking questions on stackexchange, forum sites and the irc are still very good places to go for questions. However the discord group offers Blender artists a new experience for networking. I highly reccommend finding out what system works best for you.

For me, its instant messaging with a history that I can search to the beginning of the servers existance. This means I can search for keywords and find questions that other people. As well as asking new questions and being answered quickly by experienced users or other epic artists offering assistance.

The discord is also much more linient towards 3D artists from other programs asking for critiques on their works.

Anyway, see you around ;)
