One of the big perks to using blender as well is that you dont have to jump through all the hoops associated with licenses and their activations. You basically have a powerful 3d application which takes up anywhere from 40-100mb give or take, in a folder which doesnt need to be installed but can run straight from a USB…
I was wondering abut how do you backup your blender before let's say full reinstall or moving to another PC. Downloading and installing all addons + setting up all shortcuts all over again is a nightmare. Maya for example holds all of this kind of stuff(scripts,custom shelves, etc.) inside 'maya' folder in 'my documents'.…
@Justo Had a similar problem once, i could not save new settings. So i ended up deleting every blender folder on my pc and it worked. About the transform topic, just discovered today that you can snap the cursor to edges too, so if you change the snapping settings to edge + align rotation it will align the 3d cursor with…
What is so user-unfriendly about it? It sounds like you want there to be a "one-click" solution. It's not so hard as you're exaggerating it to be. Download>extract>run. Is that really any less user-friendly than run>find update button>install>restart blender? You get an uncomplicated install without the registry bloat. Are…
The only thing you need is a copy of : C:\Users\xxx\AppData\Roaming\Blender Foundation\Blender\2.xx On a fresh Blender unzip or install, let Blender create its own preferences folder in the above location then overwrite it with your backup. Aaaand that's it. If I am not mistaken every manually installed addon gets copied…
@renderhjs hasn't posted this here yet, so I'll share this until he gets a thread going: https://bitbucket.org/renderhjs/blender-addon-fbx-bundle Features * Batch Export selected objects as FBX bundles * Batch Import 3D files from a folder * Preview FBX bundles as you select objects * Bundle objects by name, group,…
Yea, I thought that too. I'm not sure how easy that would be, but I will ask Antony and see what he thinks. Save the 2.64 folder which is found at C:\Users\Username\AppData\Roaming\Blender Foundation\Blender and then copy or overwrite the files to the same location relative to the new install location (2.65, 2.66 etc.) Not…
for what it's worth i found the only solution to tame this beast was to start with my own configuration, i looked at that silo-esque one and a few others but mainly to get an idea of what's doable in customizing blender. resetting to defaults - to do this have you tried moving the folder that blender stores it's…
@"another caveman" : blender files will store up what is shown in various UI panels, as well as things like the currently active viewport mode, embedded textures, and so on. Everything else (keymap, user preferences, addons...) is all stored in : C:\Users\[username]\AppData\Roaming\Blender Foundation\Blender\2.8 This…
Hi Jose, thank you for your help ! Unfortunately this version is giving me the same result/error. The configuration on the Zbrush side works as intended (I just have to manually point to blender.exe because I run Blender directly from a folder as opposed to using a regular install) ; but clicking on the blue/green button…
