Happy to discover your journey as well! I’m kind of in the same state of mind as you: Blender recently became a hobby that has potential to get out of control and I’m also looking at ways to include it in my work. As a consultant I make presentations and thanks to blender I can make my point visually, without having to go for stock images!
Already had a chance to include 2 pieces in a presentation without anyone noticing -> I take it as a compliment -> the images are good enough to make the management test. Hope it’ll become more and more my work reality and at the same time like @adrian2301 sais -> work , hobby,… it needs to remain fun!
