[Bf-funboard] Blender in the workplace

I am doing all of my commercial 3D-work with Blender. Customers are
Siemens, the Fraunhofer-Society, Kneissl-Ski and soon some company in
the United Emirates I can't disclose yet. I haven't heard complaints
from my customers ever and I can only sum up my thoughts on
3D-image-creation like this: it's not about the toolset, it's about the
artist.
If I can do professional work with Blender, there's probably some other
place to look for lack of "potential", Matthew.
