Overview
- Blender marked its iPad project “on hold until further notice” in a January update on its public GitHub.
- Developer Dalai Felinto indicated the team will focus on Android tablets first, a comment highlighted by YouTuber Brad Colbow.
- The pause follows earlier progress that included a live SIGGRAPH demo of Blender running on iPad in Vancouver last fall.
- Blender had initially targeted iPad Pro with a multitouch interface and Apple Pencil Pro support as the first tablet implementation.
- No changes affect desktop distributions, with Apple silicon Mac builds still available for free from Blender’s website.
