Blender Tips I Keep Forgetting

Reviewing Script Installation Instructions

  • Unzip (de-archive) the FigureShaders-master.zip file

  • Open Blender

  • To install the FigureShader script:

    1. File -> User Preferences -> Add-Ons tab

    2. At the bottom of this dialogue, click on Install From File…

    3. Navigate to where you downloaded the zip file and select the make_shaders.zip file, within the unzipped folder FigureShaders folder. Click ‘Install from File…’

    4. Browse your add-ons - click on ‘User’ under ‘Categories’ - and find the add-on. It is called ‘Material: Shaders for Imported Figures’. Tick the box on the right to activate it. (If this does not appear, check in the scripts/addons/ folder for the existence of a make_shaders folder, and that all these files are within that folder).
