Windows 7 support for Blender 3.0

Description

This repository contains a compatibility DLL for running Blender 3.0 on Windows 7 and a patch to modify the Blender source to use it. It does this by prepending bcompat7 to the list of libraries so it uses the entry points in it instead of those in the system libraries.

Binaries

You can get a build of Blender 3.0 that should work on Windows 7 from https://1drv.ms/u/s!AhpnXywMA4U1mQV-F-k19I17fE51?e=K8kgKw

Building Blender for Windows 7

Build Blender following these instructions: https://wiki.blender.org/wiki/Building_Blender/Windows with a small change. Before running make update, copy bcompat7.patch into the blender source tree and run git apply bcompat7.patch (there will be some warnings about whitespace, they can be ignored) then continue with the guide.

To use the your own build of this compatibility DLL, overwrite the files in the lib/win64_vc15/bcompat7 directory created after running make update.

api-ms-win-core-path-l1-1-0.dll

In addition to this DLL, api-ms-win-core-path-l1-1-0.dll is required to run Blender because of Python. A version of this library for Windows 7 can be found here: https://github.com/nalexandru/api-ms-win-core-path-HACK

  • Eevee materials not working starting from 3.2.0 beta 967f96ee2e2e

    Eevee materials not working starting from 3.2.0 beta 967f96ee2e2e

    Neither the preview (shows black box for everything apart from hair) not the actual rendering works for me anymore. It still works in 3.2.0 beta bf352df27a6f. Hard to say if it's related to core blender code, or Win7 compat. A wild guess, but maybe 3.2.1 fixed it somehow already?

  • Can run Blender, but unable to save project

    Can run Blender, but unable to save project

    Hmmm.... Both the 3.3 beta and 3.2 issue an error when trying to save a project.

    The message that pops up is something about needing a video card with OpenGL support.

    Not sure why that would affect the ability to save the file.

    I didn't have that issue with 3.0 on the same machine.

  • Any chance for getting a compiled version with VC redist lower than 2015?

    Any chance for getting a compiled version with VC redist lower than 2015?

    vcdist 2015 and above are for windows 7 SP1.

    Any chance we can get a version that requires VCDist runlime lib with versions below 2015 as we used to?

    as i recall correctly, you wrote something about changing visual studio version.

    Any chance you can re-gain a copy of the older version and compile there as you did with blender 3.0?

    (Yes, we can compile blender ourselves with an older visual studio but it will be a nightmare for anyone not used to compiling blender to get into it and start configuration everything and check dependencies and what not.

    It would mean the world to me and anyone without Windows Service pack 1 for windows to get a version that works on windows 7 without service pack.

    [Feature request] Please, make a upgrade alpha/beta Blender versions to Windows 7 too!

    Dear author! Thanks for the possibility to use last Blender release with last personal OS Windows 7!

    And can You upgrade not only releases of Blender, but some new alpha/beta versions too? With the beta status (and alpha), this versions more stably than, for example, 3ds max release and it also can be used almost fully.

    Thanks!

  • Error when using CUDA in Cycles

    Error when using CUDA in Cycles

    When I trying to use Cycles with CUDA (gpu+processor) active - it shows this error изображение_2021-11-29_173733 and also don't render any lights(in any other versions of blender it works(on win 10-11, or those that earlier, that could work on win 7 too) (works only GPU compute without CUDA When i tried to build it - error appears on trying to patch files apply bcompat7.patch image also even if i will not try to patch it, but just update and use make/make.bat i'll have this error image It could be great if any of those errors can be solved, because, with CUDA it really works faster(even if it with processor)

  • Requests : Add another zip as debugging info and one without and compile with code optimization.

    Requests : Add another zip as debugging info and one without and compile with code optimization.

    The default version we are currently downloading from your github "Releases" comes with debugging files and make files.

    Request 1 : Friend @nalexandru , most people don't need debugging information nor do they know what they are. Which is why i suggest when uploading your releases to have the following files :

    Source code archives, blender-x.x-windows-7.zip (For Release). blender-x.x-debug-windows-7.zip

    Request 2 : Are you compiling with release config or debugging config? I hope the code is compiled with maximum optimization flag on , If not; please compile with full optimization and strip binary data we don't need for release version.

    Win 7 32 bit?

    Hi there.

    Is it possible to compile your version for Win 7 32 bit?

    Stupidly that's one thing I didn't check before getting excited and trying to run your fixed 3.x on my Win 7 machine! Blender 2.80 runs perfectly on it, allowing me to use my Wacom GD-1218-R 18" x 12" serial tablet on my 1070 ti.

    Hope you can! Thanks!

  • Mantaflow?

    Mantaflow?

    Thank-you so much for posting a fix for running Blender 3.x under Windows 7-64.

    For others who are running Blender 3.1 in Windows 7, what happens for you when you do the following?

    • Press F3
    • Search for Quick Liquid
    • Double click it from the list
    • Press [Play]

    In 2.92, I see an animated fluid simulation with particles. In 3.1.0 I see the domain and emitter, but no particles.

    Maybe I installed Blender incorrectly? All I did was extract the file: "blender-3.1.0-windows-7.zip"

    Then I double-clicked blender.exe and it ran.

    • Modeling works fine.
    • Rendering works fine.
    • Load and save are good.
