Installing StoryLiner in Blender
StoryLiner Light Edition can be installed like most of Blender add-ons. The advanced editions offer far more tools and then need to download some external Python dependencies in order to be fully functional.
Important
When launching the installation of advanced editions for the first time, be sure to match these conditions:
Run Blender with elevated privileges (or in Administrator mode)
Be connected to the internet
Be sure the firewall is not blocking the requests (use OpenVPN or equivalent if needed)
Launch Blender, open the Preferences panel and go to the Add-ons section. Press the Install button located at the top of the panel. A dialog box opens, pick the StoryLiner zip file you previously downloaded and validate. The add-on will be installed. Click on the checkbox at the left side of its name to enable it.
Once the addon is enabled, a StoryLiner tab is displayed in the 3D viewport N-Panel.
Close Blender and restart it in normal mode.
If you are just updating StoryLiner, installing the new release can be done without going to the Administrator mode.
Install, update, upgrade… detailed steps in videos !
Due to the introduction of the notion of “extensions”, the installation process will be different on Blender 4.2 and higher versions. It will be explained in new videos.
