 Replying to [comment:7 jasonliu--]:
 > I have tried off and on over the past couple of years to try to get
 newer versions of Blender to compile, but between taking care of sick
 family members, trying to slowly rebuild after the complete loss of my
 home computing infrastructure due to a nearby lightning strike, and the
 rapid pace of changes in the Blender code base, means that I haven't
 successfully been able to get my Portfile to compile since Blender 3.0 was
 released.

 there will probably always have to be a blender-2.x subport, because
 Blender 3 started introducing Vulkan into its code. This means that
 versions of macOS that don't have Metal won't be able to use MoltenVK to
 run Blender (i.e. anything older than 10.11 El Capitan would be stuck with
 blender-2.x).

 Sorry to hear that - and I don't doubt it, that is a complicated portfile.
 I could see that from 2.93 and my fresh attempt at 4.2.2, which I wound up
 basically having to start from scratch on. But I agree we're gonna need
 blender-2 and blender-4 at least, or something like that, because 2.93 is
 still relevant to a lot of workflows, and the new ones wont run very far
 back.
