Goodbye Blender, I guess? 🤔
A bit annoying, but not much of a problem. The only thing I did with Blender was make some very simple 3D-printable objects.
I’ll have a look at the alternatives out there. Worst case is I go back to Art of Illusion, which I used heavily ~15 years ago.
@movq@www.uninformativ.de Fear not, there is probably Paint on DOS! :-D
On a more serious note, what things did you 3D-print?
@movq@www.uninformativ.de Damn! I’ve been there, and it sucks when it comes to that. and I may be hallucinating but I believe there was some dll file I had to download and put somewhere in blender’s folder and that got it to work back then. Also, what’s the latest version of #blender you could run?
@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org Mostly small and simple stuff, like cable management, headphone rests, pill dispensers (that I didn’t end up using), … The most elaborate thing I made was that contraption for my keyboard, which is a bit hard to explain right now, so here’s some photos:
I didn’t end up using that, either. 🥴
In general, I print very little. So little that some of my supplies have simply gone bad, like that “3D LAC” (sprayable glue).
@aelaraji@aelaraji.com Yeah, I saw that when googling the issue. I’m on Linux, there are no DLLs to swap. I could use an older version indeed. 🤔 Let’s see if I can find some better alternative first. (Let’s face it, Blender is hard to use.)
@movq@www.uninformativ.de I know, nobody asked 🤡 but, here are a couple of suggestions:
GNU LESSER GENERAL PUBLIC LICENSE, Version 3.GNU Library General Public License, version 2.0, it took them years but have just recently shipped their v1.0 👍(Let’s face it, Blender is hard to use.)
I bet you’re talking about blender 2.79 and older! 😂 you are, right? JK
@aelaraji@aelaraji.com will all those run on his hardware? I don’t think @movq@www.uninformativ.de’s problem is the software, it is that his hardware has gotten too old. :-D
@bender@twtxt.net And technically even that’s not really the problem either 🤣 The software devs have decided to update the minimum hardware requirements. Maybe that’s legit (API changes) maybe not 🤔
@prologic@twtxt.net well, that’s how software evolves, no? I mean, there is certain kind of software that benefits from advances in which newer, more capable hardware, is involved. But I get what you mean too! :-D
All this, really makes me want to touch some Blender, it’s been a while since last time I did xD … I’d better give it a spin while I still can xD.
@bender@twtxt.net Yes yes all that 🤣
