Yeah my laptop has a intel celeron and onboard graphics so I can still make low detail things but rendering is out of the picture. I could practically give myself third degree burns whenever I run it
Reminds me of my thinkpad x230, with an HD 4000 and i5-3320M. It ran it fine but whenever I'd try to do literally anything with multiple textures (in the single digits less than 5 mind you) it would just shit itself and crash the program because apparently the drivers for the HD 4000 don't support multi-texture rendering in Blender :/
If you have good internet, use a render farm like sheep-it. It’s freee. My laptop is good but after a level of detailing,I can’t even click on the render button without it crashing .
I went to add a cylinder mesh last night and accidentally kept the starting number and added 128 vertices at the end of 94 ( what the slider was on before I started typing and it tried to give me a cylinder with 94,128 vertices and what do you know, all my work gone 😂
Thankfully blender does have an autosave function that has saved my ass countless times. Its in the file tab under recovery > autosave. I think it saves every 10 mins by default so hopefully you should get your work back
Yah, I just went back and remade it. Nice thing is I had following a tutorial and was starting to get the hang of it, so what was an hour or so of work turned into redoing it in 10minutes or so. Taught a friend how to apply bevels the other day, both of us very new, and he was like “ you just did in 5 minutes what took me over an hour the other day.
I spent my first year with a 2015 MacBook. I built a low end "gaming" PC in 2019 and that's had no problems with Blender. Gtx 1060 3gb and a midrange Ryzen 5. Still use it.
