Дополнения (add-ons)

The Add-ons section lets you manage secondary scripts, called «Add-ons» that extends Blender’s functionality. In this section you can search, install, enable and disable Add-ons.

Finding Add-ons

Searching

Blender comes with some pre-installed Add-ons already, ready to be enabled. But you can also add your own, or any interesting ones you find on the web.

Supported Level

Blender’s add-ons are split into two groups depending on who writes/supports them:

Official: Add-ons that are written by Blender developers.
Community: Add-ons that are written by people in the Blender community.

Enabled Add-ons Only

Shows only enabled add-ons for the current Category.

Категория

Add-ons are divided into categories by what areas of Blender they affect.

Installing Add-ons

There are hundreds of add-ons that are not distributed with Blender and are developed by others. To add them to the list of other add-ons, they must be installed into Blender.

To install these, use the Install… button and use the File Browser to select the .zip or .py add-on file.

Now the add-on will be installed, however not automatically enabled. The search field will be set to the add-on’s name (to avoid having to look for it), Enable the add-on by checking the enable checkbox.

Refresh: Scans the Add-on Directory for new add-ons.

Совет

User-Defined Add-on Path

You can also create a personal directory containing new add-ons and configure your files path in the File Paths section of the Preferences. To create a personal script directory:

Создайте пустой каталог в выбранном вами месте (например, my_scripts).
Добавьте подкаталог в my_scripts под названием addons (он должен иметь это имя, чтобы Blender мог его распознать).
Откройте раздел пути к файлам в настройках.
Set the Scripts file path to point to your script directory (e.g. my_scripts).
Сохраните настройки и перезапустите Blender, чтобы он распознал новое местоположение аддона.

Now when you install add-ons you can select the Target Path when installing 3rd party scripts. Blender will copy newly installed add-ons under the directory selected in your Preferences.

Enabling & Disabling Add-ons

To enable or disable an add-on check or uncheck the box to the right of the add-ons shown in the figure below.

../../_images/editors_preferences_addons_enable.png — Enabling an add-on.

The add-on functionality should be immediately available.

Примечание

Add-ons that activate or change multiple hotkeys have a special system of activation. For example, with the 3D Viewport Pie Menus add-on for each menu there is a selection box to activate the menu and its hotkey.

Совет

If the Add-on does not activate when enabled, check the Console window for any errors that may have occurred.

Add-on Information

You can click the arrow at the left of the add-on box to see more information, such as its location, a description and a link to the documentation. Here you can also find a button to report a bug specific of this add-on.

Add-on Preferences

Some add-ons may have their own preferences which can be found in the Preferences section of the add-on information box.

Some add-ons use this section for example to enable/disable certain functions of the add-on. Sometimes these might even all default to off. So it is important to check if the enabled add-on has any particular preferences.
