In today’s article, we’ll go over the hardware and software requirements for using Blender, including both the absolute minimum specs and the preferred hardware for optimized performance, shared by Jackson O’Connell via. Like most software, Blender has minimum standard requirements for the hardware and software (mostly hardware) on your computer to operate effectively. Blender is utilized by a wide range of creators, from individual hobbyists to huge organizations like Facebook, as well as TV and film studios like The Hunger Games.Īlthough it’s free to download, Blender and its many features can’t be used by everyone. It gives users access to an open-source platform where they can use a wide range of graphic design tools. We wish David the best in this endeavor and are hopeful the Kickstarter will meet its goal as POV-Ray itself would not exist if it were not for David's kind contribution of the DKBTrace source code.Blender is one of the most powerful 3D graphic design programs available. Once this is available, PigeonTalk becomes a viable programming environment that others could use." The development environment would run in a web browser and would communicate with the Smalltalk engine using WebSockets. This Kickstarter project is to provide a development environment for this Smalltalk which I'm calling PigeonTalk.

It's an ideal environment for learning and playing with software. Smalltalk allows you to create, use, and explore software in a very hands-on way. "I chose Smalltalk as a language because it provides the most immersive experience I've encountered. Buck - the creator of DKBTrace, the pioneering raytracer that was the genesis of POV-Ray - has created a KickStarter campaign to fund creation of an open-source IDE for PigeonTalk (PigeonTalk is a smalltalk implementation created by David that is aimed at being a programming environment to explore computing).
