Blender 2.80 Addons

Apr 03, 2019  gabbitt writes: In this video I break down the basics of sculpting in blender 2.8 and explain each brushes function in detail. Several addons did not make it to Blender 2.79 release that deserve a special mention. These addons have been developed outside Blender addons but are significant and the developers have been active participants in Blender Addons Development.

In this course you'll use Blender 2.8 to model the character's face with proper edge flow, so it will animate believably. You'll learn how to create hands and feet, as well as the character's space suit and helmet. We'll use the Blender 2.8 sculpting tools to create the wrinkles and folds of the space suit.

The Add-ons tab lets you manage secondary scripts, called “Add-ons” that extends Blender’s functionality.In this tab you can search, install, enable and disable Add-ons.

Searching¶

Blender comes with some useful Add-ons already, ready to be enabled. But you can also add your own,or any interesting ones you find on the web.

Filtering¶

Blender’s add-ons are split into two groups depending on who writes/supports them:

• Official: Add-ons that are written by Blender developers.
• Community: Add-ons that are written by people in the Blender community.

Enabling and Disabling¶

Enable and disable an add-on by checking or unchecking the box on the right of the add-on you chose,as shown in the figure.

The add-on functionality should be immediately available.If the Add-on does not activate when enabled,check the Console windowfor any errors, that may have occurred.

Add-on Information¶

You can click the arrow at the left of the add-on box to see more information, such asits location, a description and a link to the documentation.Here you can also find a button to report a bug specific of this add-on.

Tip

Saving Add-on Preferences

If you want an Add-on to be enabled every time you start Blender,you will need to Save User Settings.

Add-on Preferences¶

Individual Activation¶

Add-ons that activate or change multiple hotkeys now have a special system of activation.For example, with the “UI: Pie Menu Official” add-onfor each menu there’s a selection box to activate the menu and its hotkey.

With Pie menus, First you activate the add-on. This activates the “Add-ons Preferences Submodule Activation”.You then need to expand the Add-ons Preferences, then you will see the list of Pie Menu types you can choose from.From here you can individually activate the menus you like to use.If the menu conflicts with another favorite, there’s no need to activate it.You can activate any combination and save as user settingsso your activations are available next time you start Blender.

Header¶

For add-ons that you found on the web or your own to show on the list, you have to install them firstby clicking Install from File… and providing a .zip or .py file.

Now the add-on will be installed, not automatically enabled.The search field will be set to the add-on’s name (to avoid having to look for it).Enable the add-on by turning on the checkbox.

This menu contains a list of helpful links for both usersand people who are interested in writing their own add-on.

Tip

User-Defined Add-on Path

Everything is free. No matter what you choose you better be prepared for tons of fun and entertainment. Need more thrill or suspense that gets your heart pumping, you can delve into the missions of Operation Anti-Terror or 3D Sniper.There are so many options at My Real Games you probably will not know what to play first. Download all your free games at My Real Games, why not?

You can also create a personal directory containing new add-ons and configure your files path inthe File tab of the User Preferences. To create a personal script directory:

1. Create an empty directory in a location of your choice (e.g. my_scripts).
2. Add a subdirectory under my_scripts called addons(it must have this name for Blender to recognize it).
3. Open the File tab of the User Preferences.
4. Set the Scripts in the User Preferences to point to your script directory (e.g. my_scripts).
5. Save the User Preferences and restart Blender for it to recognize the new add-ons location.

Now when you install add-ons you can select the Target Path option to User Pref(from the File tab).

Blender will copy newly installed add-ons under the directory selected in your User Preferences.
