How do I install a bundled Blender Add-on?
When you download Blender it comes with a whole bunch of Add-ons, some of which are activated and some not. Any such Blender-supplied add-ons do not have to be installed, instead, merely activated if you need one of them .
- Click the Edit –> Preferences pull-down menus
- Click the Add-ons button.
- I suggest you always activate the Node Wrangler add-on – you will definitely need it when texturing. So let’s do so now:
How do I install a 3rd Party addon?
- Click the Edit –> Preferences pull-down menus
- Click the Add-ons button
- The Blender File View window appears. Navigate to your downloaded addon file. It will be a .zip file. Do not unzip this file. Just double-click it and Blender will install the addon.
- After Blender has installed the addon, the Add-ons window re-appears and your newly installed add-on is listed. Click the checkbox to activate it and the arrow symbol to configure it.
