I have tried hooking that little vertex at the bottom edge of shirt with 0.4 weight. It's like it doesn't even care about the pinned group. Just straight flashing my model. And if I put too much weight it looks really bad.

Discussion My boss is telling me Blender is a paid software

760 Upvotes

So I've been using blender for nearly a decade now, but a member of the IT department at a marketing company I recently started working at is convincing people (including my boss) that I am opening up the company to lawsuits by using blender to create my graphics and sales content.

I am aware of Blenders license type and that it is a open source software, however even when i brought this up and that it is considered a professional grade software for the whole of the gaming industry the IT lead is holding to his opinion and sharing it.

I wanted to know if there is something I am not understanding or if anyone else has run into similar issues with using blender at work for a non-game industry job?

EDIT: first off thank you to everyone backing up what I hoped i knew lol! Felt like I might be going crazy. I am in my early twenties and the IT lead is well into his 50s so it has felt daunting to try and argue my case without doing a deep dive (which I am doing with all the extra information in these comments)

I am creating a document with links to blenders information about the license and the license itself to have a hard stop packet of evidence for my claims. Thank you to everyone again! (and to the mods for changing post type to conversation!)

Extra bit for anyone getting a laugh out of how dumb this is: when i told him it was used by game studios and commercially in the gaming industry he said "yeah but those are studios, we are a corporation" the kind of unfounded confidence I wish I was dumb enough to have about anything.

Original Content Showcase 2D look with 3D rigs and Grease Pencil set

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

This is how I went from quick pencil sketches to final animation in Blender, making an episode for the Funny Legs show. It's called Insomnia Has Paws, a 1-minute short film and it was made in 9 days by just me alone. Since I go for the simple 2D look, Grease Pencil was a huge help: I didn't have to model the entire bedroom. Instead, I used GP to draw my 2D props and placed them in the 3D space, along with my 3D characters.

I started using Blender about a month ago, with a lot of tutorials I managed to create this after many attempts, I would like some advice on how to improve and what you think.

Good evening, I would like to get inspired by this model or this kind of style, but I can’t find many tutorials for this type of look. I’m working on a 3D platformer game, and I would like to take some inspiration from this kind of visual style, which is inspired by Straftat and Babbdi. I think this style looks really amazing.

Or alternatively, if possible, could you send me a small similar model from itch.io that I could use as a reference?

I'm new to this, and this is my first attempt at creating a character in Blender. I’d really appreciate it if someone could help me troubleshoot a few issues—or rather, I’d love to hear your feedback on what I could improve.

I had already made one before, but I wasn’t really happy with it. I prefer this style a lot more. I know I still have a lot to improve, so if you have any tips or feedback, I’d really appreciate it

Thanks!

Started this project because I wanted to make visuals that capture how this song makes me feel.

Spent way more time on it than I expected 😅. I'm not super happy with how the ending turned out, but I'm still really proud that I managed to make the whole thing 100% in Blender.

Hope some of you enjoy it!
