Installation

In this section you will be guided in the process of installing/updating Simplicage as an add-on.

Install

The installation of the model should be done through the Blender preferences.

Note

Before proceeding with the installation, be sure to install the latest Blender version.

In particular, the addon is compatible with Blender 3.2.x or newest versions. We can not provide any support for installing Simplicage on earlier versions.

Note

Do not unpack the .zip file before installing the addon. Select directly the file you download.

The steps are the following.

  1. Open Blender Settings.
