Blender 5.4.0 Alpha on Frame, built on device (~1h compilation time) following official instructions https://developer.blender.org/docs/handbook/building_blender/linux/
If you trust me and want to try here is the binary 220MB https://copyparty.benetou.fr/Prototypes/FrameBuilds/blender540_arm64_Linux_builtonframe
@utopiah
how usable is it? have you tried the "VR view"?
@Etch9 So far no problem, how do I try the VR view?
@utopiah
you need to enable the VR Scene Inspection add-on https://docs.blender.org/manual/en/latest/addons/vr_scene_inspection.html
@Etch9 damn... it works, I need to record a video of that :D
cc @Blender can be please get an official ARM64 build for Linux now? Even if it's just for some releases, e.g. stable, it would be great to work on this new more open VR device running Linux proper.
@Blender FWIW I did try blender-5.3.0-beta+v53.32f5c9c48bca-windows.arm64-release and blender-5.3.0-beta+v53.32f5c9c48bca-linux.x86_64-release before compiling locally, but no dice then.
@frankiezafe thanks! Now time to explore what kind of workflow even makes sense there, with controllers, with keyboard, both, mouse, touchpad, something else? ¯\_ (ツ)_/¯
Is there a way to detach windows, e.g toolbars and viewports, a la (old) Gimp to spatialize the workflow in Blender itself already?
