Hello everyone, I’m planning to use Blender on a MacBook Pro 13-inch, with the following characteristics: Processor: 2.9GHz dual-core Intel Core i5, Turbo Boost up to 3.3GHz, with 4MB shared L3 cache Storage: 256GB PCIe-based. Blender is the Free and Open Source 3D creation suite. It supports the entirety of the 3D pipeline—modeling, sculpting, rigging, 3D and 2D animation, simulation, rendering, compositing, motion tracking and video editing. Support Blender development on https://fund.blender.org. While the developer is fixing the problem, try using an older version. If you need the previous version of Blender, check out the app's version history which includes all versions available to download. Download prior versions of Blender for Mac.
