A little animated GIF I made to test whether I could use Blender on my Steam Deck via the Desktop Mode. It’s not ideal–using Blender with a game controller made me seriously miss and appreciate using hotkeys to speed up everything on my more powerful/conventional laptop setup, and of course because even Eevee with raytracing off runs slow as molasses on the battery-powered handheld, this was also a challenge for me to use fake/baked lighting and textures (as you can see by the blob shadow below the character) to still look kind of decent even without dynamic ANYTHING. But it’s still cool that I can use Blender at all on what is primarily a Steam-centric gaming handheld.
The little guy’s name is “Flopsy,” by the way.
