Requirements

Download Blender for free, for either PC or Mac

Blender runs on most modern computers, but you’ll need at least 8 GB of memory and a reasonably fast processor. More memory, a stronger graphics card, and a faster hard drive will all help with better performance.

A mouse is recommended for best control, but Robin covers trackpad-friendly workflows too
