Download Blender zip
When an update for Blender is released, it can be downloaded directlyfrom the Blender website.The Windows installer can then be run to install the updated version of Blender.To remove a previously installed version of Blender,use Windows settings or control panel to uninstall the desired version.
When an update for Blender is released, it can be downloaded directlyfrom the Blender websiteand extracted to the desired folder, where you can double-click the executable to run Blender.For more information on creating a portable version of Blender, see the section Install from Zip.
The best way to install Blender in Windows is to use the zip version that can be downloaded from blender.org. If you also want to use different versions of Blender, it is an advantage to put all settings in a separate folder during each installation.
CAD Sketcher is a free and open-source project looking to enhance the precision workflows in blender by bringing CAD like tools, features and usability to blender. It's still very early days and we have a bright future ahead. Below is a list of ways in which you can help:
The addon can be downloaded from the Substance 3D in Blender. Click Adobe Substance 3D add-on for Blender to signing in with an Adobe account and access the download page. Navigate to the bottom of the page to download the .zip files for the Substance 3D add-on and Substance 3D Integration Tools.
For Mac users: Safari web browser defaults to unzipping downloaded .zip files, which need to remain zipped when for installation. To prevent the file from unzipping, update Safari preferences to not open "safe" files after downloading.
The main difference is that the Zip file does not get installed in the system as a program, meaning that the executable files are not in the programs folder, the application does not appear on the start menu, or as part of the programs menu. Also the operating system will not associate .blend files to open with blender automatically.
The zip file can be extracted to any folder you want, and the contained blender.exe program can be run from there. It can even be executed from an external drive, so that it can also be run on computers where the user has no access to modifying the operating system (in schools, public computers, your parent's computer, etc).
Upon installation, the BlenderBIM Add-on is stored in thescripts/addons/blenderbim/ directory, within your Blender configurationfolder. However, the location of your Blender configuration folder depends onhow you have installed Blender.
A frequent issue is to unzip the downloaded plugin archive in a way the folder hierarchy is lost. (Cinema4D, Maya, Houdini) You NEED to maintain the folder hierarchy that exists in the zip archive while unzipping !
The installation process of QR for Blender requires to download a zip file.Safari may automatically unzip the zip just after having downloaded it. In this case, you would get a folder instead of a zip file, and the installation process will not work. You absolutly need to download a zip for Blender.
thanks JP, i am really looking forward for blender 2.8 update...i am already used BlenRig 5 for some my character...quick question though, where do BlenRig 5 control menu, cause in 2.79 i can find it in toolbar but not in 2.8. i already wacth video by Hjalti Hjalmarsson that use your rig in spring which such a game changing movie, using blender 2.8 and he can found it in active tool menu but i can't seems to find it there, so please enlighten me Rig Guru. and again awesome job
Sorry, I just realized that I posted this in the "Blenrig 5 for Blender 2.7x" forum. Hi Juan Pablo, I've searched for an answer, and can't find one. I've made it through some of Chapter 7 of the tutorials (weight painting the hands) while rigging my character, and I've discovered that the bone "fing_thumb_1_def_L" bends the wrong way (downward instead of toward the fingers) when I try to close the fist with "hand_close_L." I've rolled the bone every way I can possibly try (and then pressed the "custom aligns" button afterward), and it still bends downward instead of inward. My .blend file can be downloaded here: -Rigging-Ch07-04-ThumbProblem.blend?dl=0 I'd be very grateful for some insight (from anyone). Thanks for this amazing add-on!
Hey there, for the folks that looking for methods to import blenrig animation to game engine, I just successfully imported mine into the latest Unreal 4 engine, with facial animation. It works out quite well. I just redid the weight paint on the deform cage onto the original model and combined all separate parts into one. my blender version is 2.82(cus I was using UDIM).
Sorry, I don't have an answer for you, but a question.So, like I was saying (In my post just overhead before I saw you post.) I'm using blender 2.82 too, but I can't find the BlenRig 5 Controls Panel. It seems that you don't have the same issue than I, so do you have any ideas why I can't no see it ? Or maybe I mistaken where I'm suppose to find it ?
2st :Although i had hard time to find the bake mesh button, i found it but, In 2.82 blender version, the 2.8(v1.04) addon version of BlenRig comes with an script error when Baking the mesh, so we cant proceed further.

Over the weekend, crypto influencer Alex, better known by their online persona NFT God, was hacked after launching a fake executable for the Open Broadcaster Software (OBS) video recording and live streaming software they had downloaded from a Google ad in search results.
The distribution method was unknown at the time but separate reports in December from cybersecurity companies Trend Micro and Guardio revealed that hackers were abusing the Google Ads platform to push malicious downloads in search results.
Security researcher Will Dormann found that fake Notepad++ downloads in the sponsored section of Google search were available from additional URLs, all files being marked as malicious by various antivirus (AV) engines on the Virus Total scanning platform.
BleepingComputer also found a website filled with fake software downloads distributed solely via Google Ads search results. The website impersonates what appears to be a legitimate web design company in India called Zensoft Tech.
Unfortunately, we could not verify if the downloads were malicious but given that the domain is a typosquatted URL, the site blocks search engines from indexing content and promoting the downloads only through ads in search results, there is a strong indication of malicious activity.
Several security researchers (mdmck10, MalwareHunterTeam, Will Dormann, Germán Fernández) have uncovered additional URLs hosting malicious downloads impersonating free and open-source software, confirming that luring users through sponsored results on Google search is a more common approach for cybercriminals.
The researcher also came across the Vidar info-stealer delivered via malicious downloads for Blender 3D advertised in Google Search. Vidar is focused on collecting sensitive info from browsers and can also steal cryptocurrency wallets.
We will work around the portable versions of Blender. That is the versions we download as .zip files and extract into a folder. I recommend that you get 7zip to extract these files. You can get through this link:
If you're a developer, or just really keen, it is possible to run the latest bleeding edge version of the BlenderBIM Add-on without having to wait for an official release, since the BlenderBIM Add-on is coded in Python and doesn't require any compilation. First, install the latest official release, and then download the latest source code. If you don't know how to use the "Git" system, you can manually download the latest code. If you know how to use Git, you can also stay up to date like so:
Then, just copy the files from the source code's src/ifcblenderexport/blenderbim/ folder and replace the files in your Blender add-on's blenderbim/ folder. The location of the Blender add-on folder depends on how you installed Blender. If you downloaded Blender as a .zip file without running an installer, you will find the BlenderBIM add-on installed in:
The brew command downloads and installs ImageMagick with many of its delegate libraries (e.g. JPEG, PNG, Freetype, etc). Homebrew no longer allows configurable builds; if you need different compile options (e.g. librsvg support), you can download the ImageMagick Mac OS X distribution we provide:
Now go to the Add-ons tab on the left menu and select the Install... button. Choose thematerialiq addon ZIP you downloaded earlier. On the Target Path dropdown menu selectPreferences and click Install Add-on. This will unzip the addon into the path selected in "Scripts".
Instead of using the Install... button in Blender, you can extract the ZIP to the custom pathusing your preferred utility. For example, if we use C:/blender_addons as our desired path, wecreate another directory inside it called addons. We set the "Scripts" path as explained aboveand extract the ZIP in such a way that the folder inside the ZIP ends up inside C:/blender_addons/addons/.
When downloading on MacOS with Safari, it automatically unzips the file into a MolecularNodes folder. This is extremely unhelpful as Blender requires the .zip file to install the addon. Either download with a different browser, or compress the folder again to MolecularNodes.zip.
The nodes are now enabled and available inside of Geometry Nodes in Blender. However to be able to download and parse structure files, additional python libraries will need to be installed via pip in the next step. 041b061a72
