Blender 4.5 is available!

  • July 15th, 2025

Today, the Blender Foundation released the 4.5 version of Blender and it's already available on SheepIt Render Farm.

This version brings a lot of cool features, checkout the Official announcement.

You can see all binaries available on this page: binaries.

Next feature on Blender 4.5 means also new minimum hardware requirements and unfortunately, that means we can no longer support machines older than about 7 years on the SheepIt Renderfarm.
It's not a decision by us but by the Blender Foundation, if we could support every hardware, we would.

Blender 4.5 GPU support require Cuda compute capability at 7.2, it means everything lower than GTX 16xx is not supported.
You can check your cuda compute capability on new gpu and legacy gpu

Older versions of Blender are still supported by us, and we'll keep trying to make those work for as long as we reasonably can. But for Blender 4.5 and beyond, some changes are simply out of our hands.
