Limitations & compatibility

Source-reviewed editor listing only; no installation, engine import, exported-asset or BINX integration has been tested.
Import/export support is publisher-listed, not certification that every material, rig, modifier or animation round-trips correctly.
The GPL licence of Blender software does not automatically license your imported assets, fonts, add-ons or project components.
Published Blender Python-API scripts have separate GPL-compliant distribution obligations; this is not a general proprietary add-on permission.
No website artwork, screenshots, logos, sample projects or animation media have been imported or cleared for reuse.
