I tried to install 2 different versions of Blender a few months ago but they conflicted/overwrote each other so I've been sticking with the same version for a while because of plug-ins, can't believe I just needed to download the zip folder versions. It's embarrassingly simple but I wouldn't have thought to try it so thanks for the video.

Thanks, man! Installed some models off of Deviant Art but the textures were missing for version 3.0, because you needed to have version 2.79 for textures to work! Thanks a ton!

[peter-kdkx]

[NoOne-scox]

When Blender updated to 2.8 from 2.79 I asked for a logo color change but everyone really thought it was stupid. Now I have three versions of Blender on my taskbar and all look exactly the same.

Thanks a lot!

For some reason it's taking forever to Download the zip file for Blender 3.6.5, but at least I know the solution now :D

[gamingcorner]

I am using this cause fspy doesn't in blender 3.0 so i need blender 2.9 to do it

I have blender 2.90 and 2.83. I downloaded 2.80 through archsupply.com I went there cause I go to blender's website it brings me to the newest version. When I downloaed this 2.80 all my projects that I've been working on automatically became 2.80. So when I save a project in 2.90 into my desktop folder Then I go to retrieve that project it automatically comes up as 2.80. So the only way i can work that project again I got to load it up in blender 2.90. Same thing happens in 2.83. So when I unistall 2.80 I loose all my projects. This is a very horrible issue. I just got done with a car that took me a few months to work on long hours. I really rather not go through that again. I really need to figure out how to get rid of 2.80 through archsupply .com without losing all my projects some of them I spend money on. I sure deeply hope you can help me with this.

Its crashing- like I’ll click on the shortcut then it just closes

[zescreed]

After downloading the zip version, it makes me go through winrar




now what
