Installation

Installation #

Different from most Blender add-ons, NijiGPen relies heavily on third-party Python packages. It is recommended to read the Python Packages page for more details.

Requirements #

  • Blender 3.3 ~ 4.2

(Currently, the add-on focuses majorly on stable verions. It is not guaranteed that all functions can work well in alpha or beta verions of Blender.)

Installation Steps #

  1. Download the archive file from the GitHub Release page. Please avoid downloading the source code ZIP directly, since it may contain untested changes.

  2. In Blender, open [Edit]->[Preferences]->[Add-ons] and click the Install button to load the archive. Enable the installed add-on.

Step2

  1. Check the dependency summary to decide which Python packages are needed. Install them in the Preferences panel. Internet connection is required.

Step3

Upgrade #

  • Blender Upgrade: After upgrading Blender to a new version, the Installation Step 3 (Dependency Management) should be executed again.

  • Add-on Upgrade: If you want to replace the installed add-on with a newer version, it is recommended to remove the old version and restart Blender before installing the new version.

Removal #

Removing the add-on will not automatically remove the Python packages it installed. Please manually remove them using the buttons in the Preferences panel before removing the add-on itself.
