Hikmet · December 28, 2020, 12:52pm

Thank you! I am glad you like it.

Ingapambi · December 28, 2020, 1:28pm

Looks great! Would love to use it-if I could enable it. Is it not usable with the latest MacOS?

Hikmet · December 28, 2020, 1:33pm

VSHADE works on all OS. What problem met you?

Ingapambi · December 28, 2020, 1:41pm

Thank you for replying so quickly. I wish everyone could be so attentive.

It wouldn’t enable after installation. I’m still working on it though. When I get my Mac to start up again I’ll get you more info.

Ingapambi · December 28, 2020, 3:04pm

Sorry, It won’t install at all. I’m using MacOs 11.1 and blender 2.92

Hikmet · December 28, 2020, 3:05pm

Please give more info about it.

I’m installing Shade 1.5, using the usual install method (prefer, addons, install etc). I’m sure I’m doing something wrong, but after selecting the compressed add-on and enter it doesn’t show in the list of addons.

Hikmet · December 28, 2020, 3:28pm

VSHADE has not compressed add-on file. You must first extract on the ROOT drive/folder, after that you must install “/Vshade/_Addons/vshade_panel.py”.

Default directory tree:

/Vshade

If you want install another drive or folder, you can change on the “Pref > Addons” panel.

Hi Hikmet,

On Windows, can I put the VShade folder inside the Blender addons folder?
C:\Users[username]\AppData\Roaming\Blender Foundation\Blender\2.92\scripts\addons\VShade

Or does the folder location need to be C:\VShade first, then install vshade_panel.py from the subfolder?

Hikmet · December 28, 2020, 4:03pm

You can put anywhere, but default path is “C:\Vshade”.

If you put to another directory, then you must change path on the “Pref > Addons” and restart Blender.

And don’t forget, if you use linked nodes, then you must not change your “Vshade” directory after set the first installation.

AndreasResch · December 28, 2020, 4:06pm

I have the VShade folder in “C:\Program Files” and it works fine as well.

Ingapambi · December 28, 2020, 4:13pm

OK. I put the uncompressed addons panel in the blender resources addons folder and enabled it, but now the workspace item isn’t showing in Shader Tab so can’t make it show.

Thank you for your help

Hikmet · December 28, 2020, 4:15pm

Please open Console window and check if any error reported.

Ingapambi · December 28, 2020, 4:26pm

No errors shown.

Hikmet · December 28, 2020, 4:35pm

Then works.

Did you read “Installation Guide” PDF?

Ingapambi · December 28, 2020, 4:36pm

I’ll read it again, thanks.

Frostensen · December 28, 2020, 4:49pm

Are there some kind of notes attached to specific materials so one can know which are cross-compatible and can be used for look dev. without the need to change for production rendering? And generally what percentage are cross compatible pls?

Hikmet · December 28, 2020, 5:15pm

Yes. All details writes on the Documentation PDFs. You can download PDF files and read before buy.

Ingapambi · December 28, 2020, 5:20pm

Thanks Found it. Was looking in the wrong location.
