Munich back in the days which is one of the most expensive cities in Germany I couldn't afford to live in an city center any longer and decided to move to the suburbs and the only thing I could afford back in the days was a garage yes an actual garage which was adopted to the NUMBER_TOKEN square metre apartment and the funny and ironic thing was that place was located in the most expensive neighbourhood around Munich so every single time someone asked me where I live right now I said hey I live here and everyone was like whoo you must be doing pretty well but man I wasn't the place was bloody cold during the winter there was no warm water during the summertime it was pretty okay because there was a garden but that also brought the insects and by the time I was leaving the place there were cockroaches already but hey I took the leap of faith and decided to follow my dreams sorry my camera discharged so where did I end it garage right so back in those days my goal was pretty simple I wanted to limit my expenses to minimum and focus NUMBER_PERCENTAGE_TOKEN on chocolate for development the most significant breakthrough came by the end of NUMBER_TOKEN where we started getting more and more positive feedback from people using Java for assets and within the next two years I managed to get a few clients independently so that brought a little bit more stability to the business in general so right now as a choco NUMBER_TOKEN we have two small offices this one here actually is the first office here in Poland and my second office is in Germany together with a few freelancers we work almost exclusively on the remote bases but what's the most important thing is that we do everything in blender and I really don't want to look like a blender fanboy I'm personally pretty far away from those software battles on the Internet honestly after this day even after all those years of experience it still blows my mind that you can just take this completely free NUMBER_TOKENd application and make a living using it all you need apart from that is a pretty decent lab coat or a workstation a room so no one disturbs you and just a little bit of passion so you don't give up after a few weeks so whether you are a graphic designer a NUMBER_TOKENd artist someone who wants to become independent via freelancer you should never give up on blender from all the NUMBER_TOKENd applications it's definitely the one that's easiest to approach you just download it for free unzip or install and run after a few seconds it also has the biggest and most helpful community online and it has the most free resources to learn from speaking of learning you can check out my choco for interior visualization course which is linked in the video description is the course I have created to train my own team so they can do the actual commercial projects in blender for my company the course consists of twelve chapters and over NUMBER_TOKEN hours of videos where I try to basically upload my brain so other people can use those NUMBER_TOKEN plus years of experience I have in a field of professional visualizations in blender you can also consider donating to blender foundation because they are the ones responsible for developing this amazing piece of software guys it's NUMBER_TOKEN:NUMBER_TOKEN a.m. and I'm both recording and editing this video at the same time and I can see it through the cuts how I'm falling apart so if you have any questions regarding blender Center business and you would like me to answer them just leave them down in the comments I will pick the best ones and create a separate video out of them and as for now I really want to thank you for watching please remember you are
