4.0 XB4 - 16.2 – Material Library VX non functional Tweet

[J.C]

Hi, it's te same as in 15.x.x. Adding new library item does not do anything. Works as expected in official Blender builds.

You can also try Asset Management for Blender. I use it for a long time and it works with Octane too.

Cheerio,

Thanks for the info Andreas!

On 16.2.4 this is still not functional. Adding new library results in nothing.

Hi J.C,

Thanks for your report. Could you please tell me which way do you use to install OctaneBlender on Mac? Archive or PKG? Thanks.

Cheers,

I used Archive to install OctaneBlender.

Hi J.C,

Could you please try to run blender from the terminal and test it again? Thanks.

Code: Select all

cd $BLENDER_FOLDER
./blender.app/Contents/MacOS/blender

Cheers

Hi DrawFun,

after launching Blender from terminal adding libraries work. Still this is kind of buggy addon. Removing material does not work, but adding does.

Hi J.C,

Thanks for your tests. Add/remove works for me. Could you please try to refresh the libs?
PS: To get rid of typing commands every time, you can put the code in a shell script under the blender folder. Then run blender from the script instead of the blender.app as workarounds.

Code: Select all

#!/bin/sh
echo "Start blender from terminal..."
DIR=$( cd "$( dirname "${BASH_SOURCE[0]}" )" && pwd )
cd "${DIR}"
./blender.app/Contents/MacOS/blender


Cheers,
DrawFun
