1 suggestionGood news! Blender has fully native Apple Silicon support and you should update immediately. The developer released native ARM64 builds starting with version 3.0 in 2021, and the latest version 5.1.1 is confirmed to run natively on Apple Silicon Macs. Your current version 2.81a is significantly outdated (released in 2019) and missing years of major improvements including native Apple Silicon optimization, performance enhancements, and new features. Download the latest version directly from the official Blender website - the installer will automatically detect your Mac's architecture and install the appropriate native version.
