9/17/2023 0 Comments Blender addonsNote also, once installed scripts and addons typically need to be activated – if the addon is shown in the addons list click the accompanying checkbox to active (or uncheck to deactivate).Īddons and scripts are not generally enabled by default after install so make sure to activate by clicking the accompanying checkbox (ensure script or addon is compatible with the version of Blender being used).ĭesign note: once a script or add-on has been installed a preference file can be saved so Blender loads the now installed files at start-up. While scripts and addons not part of the initial install can be moved to the default scripts\addons folder it is not recommended this be done to avoid compatibility issue. :\Users\\AppData\Roaming\Blender Foundation\Blender\\ scripts\ addonsĬ:\Users\KatsBits\AppData\Roaming\Blender Foundation\Blender\2.92\ scripts\ addons Important: Blender does not generally store custom, third-party scripts and addons in the installation directory described above but rather in C:\Users as follows File View will close and Blender will install the script or add-on allowing Blender Preferences to also then be closed. Here browse to and select the *.zip archive or *.py python file to be installed and click the Install Add-on button bottom right. In Blender Preferences click the Add-ons menu item on the left then the Install… button upper-right, opening the Blender File View area. To install a script or addon, with Blender open, access Preferences from Edit » Preferences. Generally speaking all custom or third-party scripts and addons for Blender should be installed the same way, directly though Blender Preferences, loaded in as self-contained *.zip archives, *.py files, or other supported files or script types.ĭesign note: load or install scripts and addons into Blender through Preferences to ensure directory structures remain intact – copy/pasting or extracting files directly into \scripts\addons\ may not do this. :\\Blender Foundation\\\scripts\ addons\Ĭ:\Program Files\Blender Foundation\Blender 2.92\2.92\scripts\ addons\īlenders scripts and addons folder location shown in Windows (10) File Explore (top) and Blender File View (bottom). Important: for versions post 2.50 addons is where scripts that add functionality or modify Blenders behaviour are actually installed to and stored, ‘scripts’ acts only as a containing parent folder (legacy directory structure carried over from Blender 2.49). :\\Blender Foundation\\\ scripts\Ĭ:\Program Files\Blender Foundation\Blender 2.92\2.92\ scripts\ĭesign note: the full path to both \scripts\ and \scripts\addons\ varies depending on where and what version of Blender is installed as this allows for ‘versioning’, each instance being able to use individualised scripts and addons as necessary, typically for compatibility. The default location for \scripts\ is typically AddOns Folderįor newer versions of Blender all scripts and addons are typically stored in the same location that’s created during Blenders installation and initial set up, the \addons\ folder within \scripts\. version 2.50 when addons were introduced to the Blender ecosystem, ‘scripts’ that ‘add on’ functionality can be loaded directly as self-contained zip archives (*.zip) or python files (*.py), stored relative to the applications default installation directory and addons folder therein.
