I hit a wall using Blender. I was missing a plugin I relied on in After Effects: ToothPaste.
So I built one. Fought AI for months. Got a developer friend involved. Eventually, it worked.
Published it free on Blender Extensions. 2K downloads in a few months.
Pride and imposter syndrome clashed. But I published it anyway.
I guess others needed it too. That's enough of a prize for me.
Have you tried building your own tools?
