I wanted to make dumb merch for my dumb game to see if I could. Turns out I can, and the next time they'll be better. I think they turned out great!

Looks good! That aside, is blender not a Computer-Aided Design program? You used a computer program to aid in designing an asset, no?

I know some would argue that only parametric modeling programs 'count', but that's fucking dumb- by that logic, AutoCAD* and plenty of other CAD programs get excluded too. We wouldn't need to append the 'parametric' qualifier to the acronym if it were an inherent part of the definition.

* yes, I'm aware they've added a parametric tool suite to AutoCAD. That doesn't make it a parametric CAD program

Edit: fixed a typo
