I have a LONG history with Blender - I wrote some of the earliest Blender tutorials, worked for Not a Number and helped run the crowdfunding campaign that open sourced Blender (the first one on the internet!). I founded BlenderNation in 2006 and have been editing it every single day since then ;-) I also run the Blender Artists forum and I'm Head of Community at Sketchfab.

    • I agree. A simple 'NSFW' (Not Safe For Work) in the title would be helpful (or something similar). People go here on their breaks at work and as you mentioned have children that will go online with them. I'm open to creative freedom, but letting people know in advance it may not be child or work friendly would be beneficial...just a suggestion Bart. :)

        • Agree with the two observation below... This content could be offensive for some people, a warning dont take to much effort, i guess.

          • there's a lot more harmful in this world then a toilet.
            Hiding reality for children well if they allready can read then "protected children" shouldn't be on internet. I think its a great quality render, in fact when i saw it, my first toughts where that it was article about using green screens or so. I did not realise that those camera's where part of a render, i thought some kind of blender camera setup for a trick with blender. So it is quality, because most of the times i do recognize the renders here. i'd say thumps up and respect !

        • Bart's right. This doesn't qualify as NSFW.

          (a) If you don't think children who already have the ability to use websites, haven't seen the "F" word, you're naive.
          (b) There's absolutely no harm, whatsoever, when a child reads a swear word. What are people afraid of, they might start cussing all the sudden? If that's the case, there's something wrong with the parenting, not the inanimate words.
          (c) And so what, I have a 5 and 2 year old and they swear sometimes because they think it's silly. I swear too. Like George Carlin said, "They are only words, it's the context that counts."

          • So if your children swear at other children at school it is the fault of those parents who did not teach them not to be afraid of words? The message I got from people asking for a little warning is a way to R. E .S. P. E. C. T. others who have different cultures and upbringings. That is all I understood. Unless you believe the way you grew up and the way your children speak is the only superior culture over others.

          • Let's make the distinction of "swearing at" versus "swearing around". If my child said something like, "That was f*cking awesome!", is it really his or her fault that others may be negatively impacted by it? Being libertarian, we stress the importance of the NAP (Non-Aggression Principle), which is the recognition that it's wrong to initiate or threaten the initiation of force. As long as my children aren't doing that, they're free to do as they please, which includes vocabulary choices (even if the rest of society disapproves).

            But let's also not get too off topic here. This is a piece of art with some swear words on it which is vastly different than someone vocalizing them around others. A few too many are on the politically-correct train here. ;)

        • Yes. Different cultures exist on this planet at the same time. What a surprise yours is not the one everyone else should submit to.

  1. I have a feeling some people here would feel more comfortable during a Pixar G-rated movie marathon than actually entering into the world of "art." Maybe *I* am the naive one, but I was kind of hoping that Blender and CGI tools in general were for a little bit more than making children's cartoons. Thumbs up to the artist for the layers of symbolism and suggestion. Two giant fluffy Monsters, Inc. thumbs down to the people on here who would have Michaelangelo's "David" put on some pants. Get real.
