Alternatives for Blender?
JD430w started this discussion in Help and Tips

I want to render my projects, but I can't use Blender. It doesn't just not work- it actually runs SCREAMING IN TERROR from my ancient beast of a computer. I have a 2006 Mac Mini with a 34-bit GC and EPI on OS X 10.6.8. I have been pondering trying Art of Illusion as it sounds similar but not so advanced, but I don't really know how to get the files to it.

I would prefer an iPad program if anyone knows one. I've successfully used Studio Viewer, but its "beautiful, realistic rendering" was a lie. I suspect you would need the Studio Designer to go with it, and that's designed for designing packaging.

Any and all suggestions are welcome, except links to the Apple Store to get a new computer. Is there an alternative to Blender that works with Mecabricks, or do I need to resort to begging someone to render my projects for me or borrow someone else's computer?

Thanks.

Um, I know nothing about rendering with a iPad. Really, I thought it was impossible. All I can think of is to get a new computer. 😜

Please slap yourself for me, as I cannot. I found a few iPad apps that might work, but I have to clear some space...

Also, is the "8675" in your name in reference to the song "867-5309"?

Hehehe. Okay, just did.

Nope, it's just a random number sequence. 😛 Apparently it's also on some of the bad guy torsos too. 😄

@Masman8675
Okay. Thanks, and thanks.

JD430W If you still do not find an alternative to blender to render your models you could try clear an optional modeling animation and rendering online, works well on android tablets and ios but it is a little complicated to use is practically new software and not a complement ah and The rendering is based on the vray cloud
Too support all the format file of mecabricks export

Sorry the page's name is clara.io

@Blender4bricks I'll have to try it, thanks for the suggestion!
