FAQ
To run the file at all:
Any device that can run Blender 3.6.4. (PC, MAC, LINUX)
Minimum 4Gb RAM for general use and rendering WITHOUT fur.
Minimum 2Gb VRAM* for general use.
500Mb~ Storage space (this is the size of the files, having more than this is recommended)
To render WITH fur:
Ideally 16 Gb RAM to render WITH fur.
Ideally 8Gb VRAM* for rendering fur without issues.
Performance may vary greatly from one computer to another due to known or unknown factors. None of these metrics have been precisely tested, but are a good gauge of what you should be expected to have to run the file.
*VRAM metrics are not precise and are subject to be updated. Video RAM is tied to your graphics card.
Check for the following:
Make sure you are using the latest version of blender BEFORE opening the pony file. The project is normally updated in tandem with official blender releases.
Make sure the .blend file is located in the same folder as the "textures" folder so that both are located next to each other. This will also not work if the .blend file is inside the "textures" folder. They have to be next to each other.
If you are using an older version of the pony with the latest version of Blender, this could also be giving you this issue.
