Install the add-on

Download, install into Blender 4.0 or newer, and connect it to your account through the browser.

The add-on is free, has no pip dependencies, and runs on Blender's bundled Python. It works with Blender 4.0 and newer, including 5.x.

   DownloadGrab the zip from blender.farm/downloads.

4. 4

Updating

Install the new zip over the old one the same way and restart Blender. If a fix you expected does not appear, the copy Blender is running is probably an older one, see Add-on troubleshooting.

Why use it instead of the browser

• It asks Blender what the scene references, so linked libraries, simulation caches and whole VDB sequences are found rather than guessed at.
• It streams multi-GB files from disk, with no browser memory limits.
• Your enabled add-ons are detected and can be shipped with the scene by ticking a box.
• A custom OCIO config is picked up automatically.
