Setup

This add-on is currently in early access and may have bugs or incomplete features. Because of this, the add-on is only available through the #blender-addon channel on our the Playable Workshop Discord server. If you find any issues, please report them in the channel.

Installation

You can find the latest version of the add-on pinned in this channel. We appreciate your feedback and support as we continue to develop and improve the add-on!

The add-on is distributed as a .zip file. To install it, follow these steps:

Open Blender and go to Edit > Preferences.
In the Preferences window, select the Add-ons tab on the left sidebar.
Click on the Install... button at the top of the window.
Navigate to the location where you downloaded the .zip file and select it.
After the installation, you should see the add-on listed in the Add-ons tab.
You may need to enable the add-on by checking the box next to its name.

Planned: Extension Support

We plan to offer the add-on through Blender’s Extensions marketplace after this early access phase. This will allow for easier installation and updates directly from within Blender.

Preferences

The add-on has a number of features in the works that span a variety of areas when it comes to game asset creation. Some people may not want to use all of these features, primarily ones that alter Blender’s default behavior or keymaps. To accomodate this, the add-on tries to keep its feature set highly configurable through its add-on preferences.

You’ll notice that the add-on preferences are divided into sections, each corresponding to a specific feature or area of functionality. More sections will be added as we continue to develop the add-on and add new configurable features.
