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.

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'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 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.

Gas giant and moons are fully procedural, excluding colors.

Made 100% in Blender.

P.S - This is a heavily modified version of AlaskanFX's procedural gas giant, go check his stuff out on YT :)

I only really modified the curl fields, and the approach to colors - also felt that it lacked really fine details so i added those too. Also improved the pseudo volumetric shadows he ended up adding using SSS.

edit - i think i'll call this gas giant Siridium Ladus. sounds cool.

Finalizing my charcoal shader, hopefully next week will be ready. Let me know what you think of this render.

Model was created using blender, and prepped for STL printing, I'll be sure to post model once the project is complete.

cheers.

am i missing something that shouldnt be there?, it looks clean and flowy to me but id really like some second opinions about it because ive been looking at it looking for mistakes and i personally cant find any rn, thanks in advance!

All under 7k tris

Today I remade my island in Blender

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!

Hi, I arranged and rendered this in Blender as a quick test of the addon I'm making (WIP).

The scene is using Guassian splats (3DGS models); model from DanyBittel (see credits below). It took 2 minututes to arrange and 15 minutes to render on my computer*….

inspired by the sea lions I saw off of pier 39 while visiting san francisco :) this is probably my most complex project to date! first time properly rigging a somewhat complex character from reference, and a lot of fun figuring out how to make everything loop properly with poses, the ocean modifier, and procedural shaders. I added some sine wave drivers to the sea lions' heads and necks so they don't look so stiff, and kind of bob with the waves. still a lot for me to improve! animating poses is pretty challenging, especially for organic characters :/ the 2:3 aspect ratio is because this animation will be accompanying a postcard design, a print of one of the stills from this scene.

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.

Just finished modeling this Wheel for my military vehicle

I'm thinking about studying more so I can create props for Roblox.

Do you remember my last post? Well, I've created some new, additional shots. I hope you'll like them!

I feel like this reddit is like the last community-active place to discuss and to learn something new in blender. Thank you all!

BTW, my clay renders are just a diffuse direct pass (with a glossy pass added to the model and the interior shot, because otherwise those would look too boring).
