Cannot install mitsuba addon in Blander 2.71

Hey guys! I cannot install the mitsuba render addon(downloaded latest version from this site: https://www.mitsuba-renderer.org/repos/exporters/mitsuba-blender/archive/tip.zip) in blender 2.71, I tried several ways but no progress so far :frowning: I’m using windows 7 64-bit, with blender 2.71. Whenever I click install from file(in user preferences window) then choose the zip file then click install from file button, nothing happens, it doesn’t gives any error, but its not installing the addon :no:. I even extracted the zip file then placed in script/addons folder in my blender directory but it still do not recognizing it as an addon :(. I tried to install other plugins, and they worked fine. Anyone knows whats the problem ??

Any help is greatly appreciated.

Hi Dark_Net001, blender ‘install from file’ option does not work with the zip file you downloaded.
This tip.zip file from the repository has to be extracted manually and the mtsblend folder it contains copied to blender addons folder. mtsblend folder is not on top level of the zip file, it is inside another folder and I think this causes the zip to fail to install automatically using ‘install from file’ option.

Thanks guys for reply :slight_smile: fjuhec you’re right i copied and pasted the wrong folder, thanks again :slight_smile:
