Popular 3D application Blender will get a tablet version

The widely-used open-source 3D modeling software, Blender, has long been the subject of requests for a tablet version, as seen in its social media discussions and subreddit threads. Now, thanks to a recent announcement by Dalai Felinto from the Blender development team, those requests are being addressed. The developers are dedicated to bringing the comprehensive capabilities of Blender to tablet devices. According to Felinto, this endeavor will involve adapting the software to accommodate the specific functionalities of tablets. The goal is to create user interfaces that are more task-oriented while reducing information overload. This will be accomplished by enhancing existing input methods and refining workspaces and application templates, all built upon the standard Blender framework. In the long run, the vision extends beyond a simple tablet interface. The team aims to provide the same seamless experience offered by devices like the iPad Pro in conjunction with PC-connected graphics tablets. This means that users should expect a unified experience whether they are using a standalone tablet equipped with a keyboard and trackpad or a desktop setup with a graphics tablet. The ambition is clear: to ensure that both environments deliver identical usability.
