👇 4 - Running Blender on a Chromebook, can it be done?Ĭhromebooks are popular in schools and while it’s not impossible to run Blender on them, it can be challenging depending on the hardware specs and security policies put in place.Ĭhromebooks run on an operating system called Chrome OS which is based on Linux. However, when it’s not, what are your options? You could either invest in more local hardware or lean on cloud-based rendering solutions that can cost-effectively amplify your workload capabilities.īelow are a few examples of online rendering services:īeyond online dedicated services, there are a few Blender add-ons that will assist in bulk rendering such as Barista.Īnother option for mass rendering is to boot up remote machines using computer streaming services such as Vagon (more on this below). Typically setting your computer to render overnight while you sleep will be enough. There will likely be a time when you have to render out an extensive animation or complex scene for a client or yourself that will consume your local hardware resources. That's why there are plenty of other services and options out there to help you tackle those tough challenges without breaking the bank.ģ - What if you need massive rendering power for larger projects? But we also know that sometimes even the most high-end hardware can struggle with extremely complex scenes or large rendering jobs. If you want even more power and speed, you can always add more to your computer specs. Remember, the hardware recommendations we've given you are just the starting point. A couple of years old or newer (generalizing).
On Intel macOS devices you’ll need to be running at least Catalina, and on Apple Silicon devices you’ll need Big Sur. Blender 3.5 has new minimum requirements for Mac and Linux.
