Managing Addons

Requirements

• Blender Version: Brender Cloud supports addons from Blender version 4.2+.
• System Compatibility: Addons must be compatible with Linux (Ubuntu 22) since Brender Cloud servers run on this environment.
  ⚠️

  This feature is experimental. Not all addons may be compatible.

Uploading Addons to Brender Cloud

1. Navigate to the Extensions Tab:
   Open the Extensions  page in your dashboard.

2. Click the Upload Addon Button:
   Click on the Upload Addon button.

   

3. Upload Your Addon(s):

   • Select and upload the desired addon file(s).
   • Optionally, add a description explaining the functionality of the addon (this is helpful for other studio members).
   • You can also specify a Blender version (this is for informational purposes only and does not affect functionality).
   

4. Availability:
   Once uploaded, the addon will be available to the entire studio.

Using Addons

When creating a new render—such as an animation—follow these steps:

1. Start a New Render:
   Begin by selecting a .blend or .zip file in the render creation form.

2. Enable Addons:
   You will see a toggle switch to enable addons for that render.

3. Select Addons:
   A list of previously uploaded studio addons will appear. Simply select the addons you wish to use for the project.
