Blender 6.0 May Drop OpenGL Support

Original: Blender 6.0 May End Up Removing OpenGL Support

Blender 6.0 may remove support for OpenGL, according to a report from Phoronix. The open-source 3D creation suite has relied on OpenGL for rendering its viewport, and a potential shift away would mark a significant change to how the software runs across platforms. Details on the timeline and the replacement technology were not provided in the report.

Why now: The popular 3D software's move away from a long-standing graphics standard affects many users and older hardware.
