The one tool to rule them all. Business built in Blender.

This presentation explores how Blender 3D became the backbone of a scrappy three-person team building FattyPack—powering everything from colorway testing and pattern scaling to packaging, banner and print design, social media visuals, ads, website mockups, client presentations, and animated explainers. Aimed at Blender enthusiasts, power users, and entrepreneurial creatives, the session shows how Blender can be leveraged beyond art into a flexible engine for rapid experimentation, communication, and business growth.
