Because it's fun to do "modern" stuff on 1993 machines and I guess that it can help to learn the basics of modelling (as long as you don't render...) :-)

I guess you could run Blender on your Classic thanks to MorphOS 1.4.5 (at least the previous version worked on my Efika, a GRex with Voodoo should be able to handle it).

I'd have to say "Why are you here" if you even have to ask that?

I guess takemehomegrandma prefers Maxon CInema 4D and Aladdin to Blender, but fails to see that Blender models have become a standard in the 3D community and you can share your models with other artists.

Blender is running fine on a SAM, so it should be at least usable for low complexity stuff on classic. I doubt however that I would have the patience to wait for a render. It might take minutes to get a single frame.

I'm curious now... Blender was already available for OS4.1, right?  So am I to understand that executables that run on OS4.1 on AmigaOne, SAM or PegII won't also run on OS4.1 classic?  An OS4.1 app should run on any hardware capable of running OS4.1, that's what an OS is for, surely?

You must think in the speed, Blender needs much CPU speed to render.

This Blender "distro" has lower memory requirements, that's all.

yes I understood that this update has enhancements for lower memory situations as the initial releases were tested on newer machines with 512MB + memory as a minimum
