Blender is freezing, idk what else to try
Hey!
So I just started following this year's Donut Tutorial by Blender Guru and I am only in the second video, when I reach the proportional editing bit...and my Blender completely freezes. I am completely unable to do anything or click anything, and can only quit it with the task manager. Otherwise I can't even close the window.
Steps I followed to try to fix this that didn't help:
- I started over without adding the modifiers
- Uninstalled and re-installed Blender (even downloading it again from their page)
- Only using Blender with no other windows/apps opened.
- Restarted my computer
- Cleared cache
- Freed up space
- Looked for a solution everywhere, from youtube comments to some other very similar threads in this reddit.
These are my computer specs:
- MacBook Pro 2020
- Processor: 2,3 GHz Quad-Core Intel Core i7
- Graphics: Intel Iris Plus Graphics 1536 MB
- Memory: 16 GB 3733 MHz LPDDR4X
- macOS: 14.1.2
From what I've seen in my search, this computer might not be the best tool for 3D... but it should be doable since it's not a very complicated work...
I should add I have no previous knowledge of Blender or any 3D software. But I really want to learn and this problem is very discouraging. If the problem is my computer, then I don't have the resources to buy a better one, and it's also fairly new so idk... I hope that's not it.
Please, do try to help me, I wanna be one of y'all :(
