I was actually quite rude to Ocean. If he just wants to make adult games and nothing else, he doesn't need any special knowledge. If he wants to just transfer models into Blender and use that 3d program only for rendering and lighting, no problem. It is quite enough for his tasks. If he wants to completely switch to Blender, create environments in it, create simulations, visual effects, animations, do motion design - that's a different issue.Blender is not such a complicated program that it takes a long time to learn it. It will take no more than half a year for beginners to learn it with a teacher. Several years ago I saw a video of a guy who moved from a village to a big city. He missed his friends and relatives so much that he started learning Blender to create a virtual model of his village from memory. He watched free lessons and learned to work in Blender from them. In 9 months, he learned to work in Blender and created his own village.
All this only concerned beginners who do not know anything about rendering. And people with experience in other programs spend 1-3 months learning Blender. Ocean wrote in his logs about 3 years ago that he began to learn Blender. And he is still learning it. People often made fun of him for this. Do not take Ocean's words seriously, there is little truth in them.
But before Ocean can fully switch to Blender, he needs to learn how to optimize scenes and resources. You can just render a 10 million polygon scene and think it's going to work. Not Blender.
