The demo follows the Blender Foundation's August call for Android tablet users to help test the Android Platform Support project, and a BCON26 talk covered progress and technical challenges of bringing Blender to mobile. An official Android APK with touch and pen input support is available for download directly from Blender, while Blender 5.3 itself remains in alpha, expected to add native 3D Gaussian Splat support, dispersion in the Principled BSDF, and new custom material lighting nodes. ## Full article daily.dev links to this article rather than hosting it. Read it at the original source: ## Questions this post answers ### Is there an official Android version of Blender I can try? Yes, an official Android APK is available directly from Blender with support for touch controls and pen input. It stems from the Android Platform Support project, which the Blender Foundation has been developing with community help, including feedback from Android tablet users gathered in August. A BCON26 presentation showed an early Android build running smoothly, including on a Wacom Android tablet running Blender 5.3. _Anyone weighing Blender's move to tablets can follow ongoing coverage of the project on daily.dev._ ## Similar posts on daily.dev - [Blender's Android Tablet Support Is Taking Shape](https://daily.dev/posts/blender-s-android-tablet-support-is-taking-shape-zk7vrsyqf) · 80 LEVEL · 0 upvotes · 0 comments - [Artist Shows Making 3D Models in Blender on Phone is Possible](https://daily.dev/posts/artist-shows-making-3d-models-in-blender-on-phone-is-possible-xpktsxfpf) · 80 LEVEL · 0 upvotes · 0 comments - [Android devices extend seamlessly to connected displays](https://daily.dev/posts/android-devices-extend-seamlessly-to-connected-displays-5uuoprn0c) · Android Developers Blog · 0 upvotes · 0 comments --- Tags: [#android](https://daily.dev/tags/android), [#3d](https://daily.dev/tags/3d), [#blender](https://daily.dev/tags/blender) [View this post on daily.dev](https://daily.dev/posts/see-blender-5-3-running-on-wacom-android-tablet-ne6ko5ydn) ```json {"@context":"https://schema.org","@graph":[{"@type":"Organization","@id":"https://daily.dev/#organization","name":"daily.dev","url":"https://daily.dev","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://daily.dev/apple-touch-icon.png","width":180,"height":180},"sameAs":["https://twitter.com/dailydotdev","https://github.com/dailydotdev","https://www.linkedin.com/company/daily-dev-ltd"]},{"@type":"WebSite","@id":"https://daily.dev/#website","url":"https://daily.dev","name":"daily.dev","publisher":{"@id":"https://daily.dev/#organization"},"potentialAction":{"@type":"SearchAction","target":{"@type":"EntryPoint","urlTemplate":"https://daily.dev/search?q={search_term_string}"},"query-input":"required name=search_term_string"}}]} {"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"TechArticle","headline":"See Blender 5.3 Running On Wacom Android Tablet","url":"https://daily.dev/posts/see-blender-5-3-running-on-wacom-android-tablet-ne6ko5ydn","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://daily.dev/posts/see-blender-5-3-running-on-wacom-android-tablet-ne6ko5ydn"},"datePublished":"2026-09-30T16:21:34.748Z","dateModified":"2026-09-30T16:22:01.279Z","description":"Blender 5.3 has been demonstrated running on a Wacom Android tablet, shared as a clip from Blender Conference 2026 in Amsterdam.
