No one mentions F1 hybrid? Mass produced vegitables and fruits are often offspring of 2 distinct varieties, carefully selected to inherit desireble traits from both sides but no guarantee for 2nd generation.
Kind of soft-lock drm bcs people need to keep buying the specific seed if people want max yield. (I’ve read article gathering seeds from store brought tomato, growth werent great and the yields were unstable in both taste and quantity, but they managed to iterate 6 generations or so. The “traits” of F1 offsprings stabilize around that so you can keep growing your own variety).
Heirloom seeds don’t have this issue, but they likely have quirks or less immunity compared to F1.















Blender hardware requirement changes after 5.0 if your rig has components older than that you need to replace them. it’s not a hard requirement but otherwise troubleshooting issues get tough.
NVIDIA: GeForce 900 and newer, Quadro Tesla GPU architecture and newer, including RTX-based cards, with NVIDIA drivers.
AMD: GCN 4th gen and newer.
Intel: Kaby Lake architecture and newer. Always make sure to install the latest drivers from the graphics card manufacturer website
Other than that, having faster machine always helps but it really depends on what you’re after. Game-ready character motion? film(realistic or stylized)? motion graphic type of animation? If you want animation with somulation their codebase are not so up to date to incorporate gpu speedup (at least for cloth).
