This function appears to be well supported in Blender, in conjunction with modifier keys.īut before we begin using it, we’ll need to tell Blender that we don’t actually have a regular three-button mouse attached to the system. ![]() It can also interpret two-finger swiping, as we frequently use for scrolling web pages. I’ve only been able to test this in Blender 2.79, but I’m assuming Prep WorkĪ regular trackpad that doesn’t support gestures can only interpret a one-finger or two-finger click (or tap). How do we navigate 3D space in Blender then, if there’s no mouse nearby? Well I’ve just found out, and I’d love to share it with you. My Mac has one, and it behaves beautifully with gestures out of the box, but I guess Windows and Linux users don’t have that luxury, even if a trackpad is present. ![]() ![]() Of course trying to move anything on the screen proved to be difficult, because I had never done that before with a standard trackpad. However it’s still capable of running 2.79, and it made me smile to see it full screen. Turns out my Q330 only runs OpenGL Version 2.1, which means it can’t run Blender 2.8+. After all, the team have recently added CentOS as a new pre-built package to the list of downloadable options, and for me that was the perfect opportunity to try it out. ![]() After futzing CentOS 7 on my old Samsung Q330 laptop, I thought it would be fun to see if the old hardware from 2010 would be capable of running Blender.
