These companies have only a fraction of the userbase that Blender has, yet they rake in BILLIONS in profit each and every year.
Blender has millions of users worldwide but only made โฌ3 million in revenue and โฌ0 in profit last year.
Only around โฌ1.2 million came from individuals and generic small donations.
The rest came from corporate sponsors and other
But that wasn't enough to cover the expenses:
โฌ2.7 million staffing costs alone.
The little that was left over had to be split across:
- rent
- travel costs
- office costs
- accounting costs
- advisory costs
- transaction fees
- conference costs
- other various expenses
The reservation for 2025 is in the negative: โฌ-73 k.
To keep Blender alive and get better features faster, Blender needs to not only survive, but to grow a much bigger team.
The only way to do that is with more funding.
Everyone who have downloaded Blender should try donating at least once if you haven't already!
Fortunately for this piece I had some real life ref for the pose and frame! Being able to use miniature posing dolls helped so much since insects move sorta like puppets anyways ๐

@TeamYouTube Is it possible to remove old channel accounts you no longer have access to? I made the account when I was a minor and it's compromising my future as my full name is attached but have no current or relevant information about it. Is there anything I can do?
