Estructura de directorios de Blender

This page documents the different directories used by Blender.

This can be helpful for troubleshooting, automation and customization.

User Directories

User directories store preferences, startup file, installed extensions, presets and more. By default these use the standard configuration folders for each operating system.

Linux

$HOME/.config/blender/4.3/

If the $XDG_CONFIG_HOME environment variable is set:

$XDG_CONFIG_HOME/blender/4.3/

macOS

/Users/$USER/Library/Application Support/Blender/4.3/

Windows

%USERPROFILE%\AppData\Roaming\Blender Foundation\Blender\4.3\

Portable Installation

When running Blender from a portable drive, it’s possible to keep the configuration files on the same drive to take with you.

To enable this, create a folder named portable at the following locations:

  • Windows: Next to the Blender executable, in the unzipped folder

  • Linux: Next to the Blender executable, in the unzipped folder

  • macOS: Inside the application bundle at Blender.app/Contents/Resources

This folder will then store preferences, startup file, installed extensions and presets.

Variables de entorno

The BLENDER_USER_RESOURCES environment variable can be set to a custom directory to replace the default user directory.

System Directories

System directories store files that come bundled with Blender and are required for it to function. This includes scripts, presets, essential assets and more.

Linux

Archivo descargado desde blender.org:

./4.3/

Linux distribution packages:

/usr/share/blender/4.3/

macOS

./Blender.app/Contents/Resources/4.3/

Windows

Archivo zip descargado desde blender.org:

./4.3/

Instalador descargado desde blender.org:

%ProgramFiles%\Blender Foundation\Blender\4.3\

Microsoft Store installation:

%ProgramFiles%\WindowsApps\BlenderFoundation.Blender<HASH>\Blender\4.3\

Variables de entorno

BLENDER_SYSTEM_SCRIPTS and BLENDER_SYSTEM_EXTENSIONS environment variables can be used to bundle additional scripts and extensions, that are not part of the regular Blender installation.

Other BLENDER_SYSTEM environment variables can override other system paths, though are not commonly used in practice.

Estructura de rutas

Los complementos Python que podrán ser habilitados en las Preferencias, incluyen soporte para la importación/exportación de formatos, integración de motores de procesamiento y muchas utilidades prácticas.

./scripts/addons/modules/*.py

Módulos para ser utilizados por los complementos (agregados al sys.path de Python).

./scripts/addons_core/*.py

The add-ons directory which is used for bundled add-ons.

./scripts/addons_core/modules/*.py

Modules for addons_core to use (added to Python’s sys.path when it found).

./scripts/modules/*.py

Módulos de Python que contienen el núcleo de nuestra API y funciones de utilidades para que puedan importar otros scripts (agregados al sys.path de Python).

./scripts/startup/*.py

Scripts que son automáticamente importados en el arranque.

./scripts/startup/bl_app_templates_user/{APP_TEMPLATE_ID}

./scripts/templates_osl/*.osl

Located in system directories.

Directorio local de cachés

The cache directory is used to store persistent caches locally. Currently it is only used for the indexing of Asset Libraries. The operating system is not expected to clear this automatically.

La siguiente ruta será usada:

  • Linux:

    $XDG_CACHE_HOME/blender/ si $XDG_CACHE_HOME se encontrara definida, en caso contrario será $HOME/.cache/blender/

  • macOS:

    /Library/Caches/Blender/

  • Windows:

    %USERPROFILE%\AppData\Local\Blender Foundation\Blender\Cache\

Directorio temporal

El directorio temporal se usará para almacenar varios archivos durante la ejecución (incluyendo capas de procesamiento, caché de dinámicas, buffer de copiar/pegar y registros de errores).

El directorio temporal se selecciona basado en la siguiente prioridad:

  • Preferencias de Usuario (véase Rutas de archivos).

  • Variables de entorno (TEMP en Windows, TMP y TMP_DIR en otras plataformas).

  • El directorio /tmp/.
