Most likely you will need the 64-bit version.įrom here, I will assume that you are using Windows. Select your operating system and download the corresponding 2.80 beta file. Then hit “Try Blender 2.80 beta” to get to the correct downloads. Go to the website and click “Download blender 2.79b” It may say 2.80 or later if you are reading this when 2.80 has come out of beta stage. So, skip 2.79 at this point and go straight for 2.8 to avoid relearning later.
It is currently in beta, but it is very different from the stable version, and it is also the way forward. Right now, we will start with Blender 2.8.
In this basic introductory series, we won’t use a graphics tablet, but we will assume a 3-button mouse. The graphics tablet in this case will be used for drawing or sculpting in most cases. Keep in mind that a 3-button mouse is recommended and for an optimal experience a graphics tablet is good to have.
