By reading some great proposals I conclude that Blender should have a minim requirement:
1. Quad Core 2. OpenGL 4.3 (pref mid to high nvdia quadro) 3. 8-16 GB memory 4.... And beside that maybe Blender should go in direction of Gnome 3, Unity and Win8, and start hiding options from users. Who needs options, they are just confusing people... Come on guys, I understand that Blender can't support hardware and o.s. indefinitely, but to say that we should drop support for WinXP while the most users are still on it is IMHO wrong (and I'm Linux user) Correct me if I'm wrong but I don't see any significant progress in internal renderer so I suspect it would be abandoned soon. Then should we drop support for CPU rendering since Cycles works the best on gpu of nvidia cards? In the end, I think Ton's proposal for minimum requirement is O.K., but to drop Win XP that still works better then newer Redmond "viruses" is wrong. _______________________________________________ Bf-committers mailing list [email protected] http://lists.blender.org/mailman/listinfo/bf-committers
