Version 0.6.2 brings support for Blender 3.0.

Overview

Similar to Blender 3.3 LTS, the new integration lays the groundwork for the long term future. It offers a simplified interface, better user experience, and steadier performance.

The Connecter Blender is compatible with all versions after 2.8x, and is tested on each new version for compatibility. The add-on allows fast append and lining workflow for objects, materials with simple placing or applying options. You can save objects, collections, and materials from Blender to Connecter with the generation of custom preview using Cycles and EEVEE renderers.

Installation

You can install the add-on from Connecter -> Integrations -> Blender Integration installer. Available options:

  • Get plugin
  • Generates a .zip archive which can then be installed using Blender’s standard workflow - from Edit -> Preferences -> Add-ons -> Install…
  • You can speed up the installation by using the “Copy path to clipboard” option and place it in the Blender installer.


  • Install from package 
  • Option for installing versions different from the official one - older or new beta releases. You need to point the package with the new version. After that the process is the same as “Get plugin”.
  • Exit
  • Closes the dialog window.

NOTE: After the installation, we recommend restarting Blender.

Аctivation

After a successful installation, in Blender go to Edit -> Preferences -> Add-ons. Search for “Connecter”. If the add-on “Asset Management: Connecter” isn’t enabled, click the tick box in front of it to start using it.
