Does it share widgets with blender or is this another graphics app reinventing the wheel?

How does sharing or not sharing widgets with blender make this “another graphics app reinventing the wheel”? Godot is a game engine, not [just] a graphics app.

But yes, Godot 4 directly translates interfaces with .blend files.

Wow that's pretty awesome. I think Unreal (and Unity) only support FBX files, good to know Godot has first-class Blender file support.

> dogfooding of implementing the UI with the engine itself

It's been pretty common in the past for every pro graphics app to build its own x-platform GUI widgets library. Was hoping this could come to an end, as it is a waste of time.

Blender is licensed under GPL, which makes it incompatible with most commercial game development.

Blender license does not impact the product created with it. It’s like a compiler. Or a pencil.

No, it's custom UI. Blender is GPL, not sure how you would like to use it's code in MIT game engine project.
