Installation

1. Install Blender (at least version 3.0)

2. Install dependencies:

   • Blender add-on: Stop-motion-OBJ (at least version 2.2.0.alpha.23)

3. Install NIMPHS:

   • Download a version from the releases page (latest recommended)

   • Open Blender, go to Edit > Preferences > Add-on > Install and select the downloaded file

   • Activate it (tick the checkbox)

   • Go under preferences and select an installation configuration:

     • CLASSIC: this is the basic and recommended configuration.

     • ADVANCED: configuration which will let you install other dependencies to use under-development features.

     • Force (option): install python packages with the --force-reinstall flag on.

   • Then, click on the install button. The Blender UI will freeze for a moment, this is normal. Python packages are being downloaded and installed.

     

   • If everything went well, you should see this message. Then, just reopen Blender and voilà! 🪄

     If not, the error message should be printed in the console.

     

Reinstall python dependencies

Note

If you need to reinstall the python dependencies or switch configuration, follow these instructions.

• Open Blender, go to Edit > Preferences > Add-on

• Then, click on the Re-install button

  

• Then, follow the instructions and do the same process as in step 3. Install NIMPHS.
