many plugins don’t work for 2.25. Maybe the plugin api was changed or something… Anyway, 2.25 renders a lot slower (from the GUI only) than 2.23, so unless you’re ussing a very special functions (like the NLA), you would probably be better off rendering in 2.23. :-?
To the best of my knowledge, this is a bug in 2.25. The only 2.25 version in
which I can successfully use plugins is the FreeBSD release. I know that
plugins do not work in the Windows or Linux releases and I suspect that they
may not work in others.
