The Blender case was due only because @fsiddi @fsiddi and the #blenderdevelopers that supported him thought (they really didn't give a thought about it), in the actual political and war climate, was a good idea to easilly fill up the Blender3D budget with blood money.

Instead to ask first to the user base, that he prefers to treat like kids because in his narrow views we are anti social (his words), and seems there is no need for them in the blender eco system.

They promised to release a code of conduct about AI. It has not happened. He and the developers are hiding waiting to the dust to settle. Guess what? There will be people that will remember them.

I'm looking for a #CreativeCommons Movie where the dialogue is *not in English* for a @hpr show.

Was thinking that perhaps someone had taken some of the #BlenderFoundation movies (eg Sintel) and recorded the dialogue in a non English language.

Not talking about subtitle files here.

Blender is trying to fundraise for 2026:
https://www.blender.org/news/give-back-to-blender-fundraiser-for-2026/ #b3d

I have absolutely benefitted from Blender (@Blender ) and its entry cost of FREE. I can:
-Model things to be animated
-Prototype for 3D printing/manufacturing
-Create/edit the form, texture and rigging of VR avatars
