RE: mastodon.social/@Blender/11648…

Reputation is one of the most valuable things any social project has. It can inspire people to do great things together.

Money is, *waves hand*, helpful; but just a thing. It's not valuable in itself, only in what things it can be transacted to get people to do for you.

If you trade inspiration for transactional power, then you no longer need to lead people, just money.

And money just isn't as valuable as people.

Not to mention one user has specifically admitted to using AI code review for commits that are in Blender's codebase.

Finally finished the art of @JunkRaven , SEKHMET-class NHP, hanging out in her subaltern!

Here she is, chilling out at a bar/Horizon Collective clubhouse out somewhere in the Long Rim, with some of her buddies.

This one took a couple of months to finish. I don't think I've ever tried something this detailed, with so much going on in the background! (I'm bad at drawing environments.)

Layout primarily done in #Blender, poster designs done in #Inkscape, and everything else done in #Krita.

No generative AI was used to create this image.

A #blender cloth simulation, but every time it plays the cloth doubles in detail.

Watch until the end, you won't regret it...
