Beside this, can Blender be used for commercial purposes?
What you create with Blender is your sole property. That means that Blender can be used commercially by artists, by studios to make animation films or VFX, by game artists to work on commercial games, by scientists for research, and by students in educational institutions.
Likewise, is Blender used professionally? As Blender is improving at light speed, more and more 3D artists are wondering why Blender isn't the industry-standard 3D tool. For a core tool to be replaced, it needs to offer a significant advantage over what's currently used. For a lot of freelancers and hobbyists, Blender is indeed a huge improvement.
Additionally, can you use Blender for profit?
And just like with the add-ons: just because Blender is free, doesn't mean you can't make money from it. Educational content is fun to make, because you're not just selling something: you're actually helping people. Similar to producing educational content, some people choose to do one-on-one training.
What major companies use Blender?
Industry giants like Epic Games, Microsoft, and Ubisoft are supporting the tool's development helping the Blender team add more powerful features to their open-source software.
