So I am able to open them from selecting the file in finder and opening by finding the blender application. This is when the issue occurred of not being able to open files from the blender application, saving the same file (or else it saves with can’t select any files, textures.

I went along and accepted so far, but today I didn’t accept and cancel because I wanted to figure out what it was asking me this since it never did before (maybe because I have the cloud storing them?). I can edit / select objects in my files but I can’t select textures to apply, access filesīlender has been asking as of very recently if i wanted to let blender access my desktop where my blender files are located. When i click to select files in dropdown, it doesn’t open. It says:Ĭannot read file / operation not permitted The main reason being is that I would essentially like to have the liberty of switching between the latest version and the one I'm used to as I've gotten very used to my work flow on this version over the past year and a half of learning blender and would like to transition gradually to the new one that I feel somewhat less familiar with when it comes to rendering etc.I can't open files from Blender 2.79. Now, you're probably wondering why I would still want to run this version of Blender on a brand new M1 especially since the huge leap in features and work flow in the new Blender.

If anyone has any experience with this that would be a great help! I recently learned about Rosetta that seems to allow intel developed software to run on the M1.

I'm planning on purchasing a Mac Mini M1 next month, but would like to know if Blender 2.79b will still run on this system since it's no longer intel based. Hi there, I wasn't sure whether to ask this question here or over on r/Blender, so I'm gonna bite the bullet and try here first.
