Now slowdown, don't get too excited. Haiku user Nick Levantis found a way to get an old Blender compilation (2.11) to run under Haiku.

Using the right combination and versions of libraries it was compiled against, Blender now works on Haiku (originally compiled on BeOS). Even though this version of Blender is quite old, it's still a very powerful piece of software. Unfortunately, menu rendering is very slow, and I'm not really sure what you can do with it in this state - it's still cool that it runs though!



There were comments on the site that Blender will be practically useless on Haiku until someone implements double buffering in Haiku's OpenGL kit. Perhaps someone can explain in the comments.

For features and info on what Blender's current version can do, see their website.
