A lot of people worked hard to make this software work. But due to the nature of Free Software development it's very hard to give you a full list of Credits.

So instead I'm going to mention 4 very influential people without whom this project would probably not exist. If you helped this project and you want to add your name to the credits too. Talk to me and I'll figure it out.

## Richard Stallman
|
|
|
|
 [Richard Matthew Stallman](https://stallman.org/) (also known as RMS or simply Richard Stallman. [Wikipedia.](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Richard_Stallman) ) is an infuential figure in making VCStudio possible. The amount of mistreatment happening in the world in mind boggling. Vodka companies and Drug Lords making millions of dollars while selling poision to addicted prey. When people demand respect they manufacture it disguising the poison under some kind of artificial lie. Like "*Let's drink for life.*". Software companies are doing the same. And people are not understanding the impact because the poison is not as clear as with some other products. [Malware](https://www.gnu.org/proprietary/proprietary.html) is a big problem. But even bigger problem lies that tech companies are trying to outsmart people. When you bought something you had an access to fix it. Apple is taking it away from you by designing the products that refuse to work when you try to swap parts. And they are manufacturing exuses such as "*It's for your protection.*" that many people buy.
|
|
|
|
Software companies do that same thing by refusing people access to means of doing things to their copies of the software. Making restricted licenses. Not releasing the source-code. Demanding outreagious end user agreements. Developing Digital Restriction Managment systems. And other evil things. Making their users addicted so they could not use anything but their poison software.
|
|
|
|
In order to stop this from happening we need to use Free Software.
|
|
|
|
Richard Stallman is the father of the [Free Software movement](https://www.fsf.org/) and the [GNU Operaring System](https://www.gnu.org). ( Usually known as Linux. Or GNU / Linux. )
|
|
|
|
Without Richard Stallman there would be mistreatment of users. Also the operating system and the license that I'm using to publish this would not exist. So therefor I credit him in this project as well. This project tries very hard to be as Free and as Respecting as it possibly can. I might not succeed 100%. Maybe because I'm stupid. But thanks to Richard I at least try.

## Linus Torvalds
|
|
 [Linus Benedict Torvalds](https://github.com/torvalds) is an important figure in the GNU / Linux and Free Software ( [Open Source](https://www.gnu.org/philosophy/open-source-misses-the-point.html) ) world. His contribution is a the Linux part of the [GNU / Linux operating system](https://www.gnu.org/gnu/linux-and-gnu.html).
|
|
|
|
His contribution is important since his program "Linux" is the most important part of an operating system called the kernel. The kernel manages all the other programs. It's the program that translates anything between programs like Blender or VCStudio to stuff like CPU and Grpahics Card. But there are programs in between those users are using and the linux kernel. Stuff like the Window Manager (Gnome, KDE), Graphics Engine (OpenGL, Vulkan), Sound Engine (Jack, ALSA) and other minor programs. All running on top of linux but are not the part of linux. They are parts of GNU. And together it's GNU / Linux.

## Ton Roosendaal
|
|
 [Ton Roosendall](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ton_Roosendaal) is the [BDFL](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Benevolent_dictator_for_life) of [Blender](https://www.blender.org/). In the 80s and 90s Ton was working on 3D animation using their own peace of software called Traces (a ray trace Renderer). In the company called NeoGeo founded by Ton in 1989. Later they decided to put together an animation / modeling tool based on the interface of Traces. Combined product became Blender.
|
|
|
|
On 13 October 2002 Blender was released to the public under the GNU GPL license. Making it officially Free Software. And thus opening it's features to be used in the ethical world of Free Software.
|
|
|
|
Since then Blender grew to the largest animation / modeling / video editing / visual effects tool that you can find.

## J.Y.Amihud
|
|
|
|
 Jeison Yehuda Amihud (Blender Dumbass) is the developer of Blender-Organizer. Or VCStudio. A minor thing compared to the monumental job that is done by others.
|
|
|
|
In 2016 during making of the movie "I'm Not Even Human" J.Y. faced a problem of organization. Large projects with multiple people usually have a producer or managers that do all the organizational work. In this project tho. There was only J.Y.Amihud for the entire thing. And something needed to be done.
|
|
|
|
The solution was to write a program that will do most of the job for you. Instead of making folders and subfolders for each character and it's textures, references and renders. You just add the character and it does everything for you. The program also solved the problem of knowing how much is done. So J.Y.Amihud could estimate the time of the release. The movie was finished a month before the released date that was annouced half a year before the movie was done. So the program works.
|
|
|
|
Since then Blender-Organizer had a few itterations. And now it is called VCStudio.
|
|
|
|
J.Y.Amihud is also known by the name Blender Dumbass. And currently hold an [LBRY channel](https://odysee.com/@blenderdumbass:f). You can follow him there.
