Blender is working on a dedicated tablet app to bring its 3D modelling and animation tools to more portable platforms. The initial version will launch on the App Store for iPad Pro, expanding to Android and other graphic tablets later on.
Blender For Tablets: What to Expect
In a recent blog post, Blender revealed plans for a tablet app focusing on devices like Apple iPad, Microsoft Surface, Huawei MatePad, and more. The goal is to make the software accessible on smaller screens, catering to artists who need a stylus for tasks like painting and sculpting.
To adapt to tablets, Blender will enhance input methods, expand application templates, and provide compatibility with various devices. The upcoming app will be first tested on iPad Pro models and gradually extended to other platforms, potentially including AirDrop support for iOS.
The company acknowledges challenges in transitioning software to tablets due to hardware constraints, such as limited screen space and processing power. However, Blender aims to offer a fully functional experience for artists on the go.
Blender teased tablet-specific features including multi-touch gestures, a customized application template, sidebar tabs with tool options, and easier access to editing tools in the 3D Viewport.
