Supported versions: Blender 2.8.2 and 2.8.3 LTS versions

Current plugin version: 0.6.0

You can download the latest version on the official website, or download from the Welcome Page > Workflow.

Installation

The Add-ons section lets you manage secondary scripts, called “Add-ons” that extends Blender’s functionality.

To install the D5 Converter plugin, use the Install... button and then use the file browser to select the plugin file.

After the plugin is installed, it will not be automatically enabled. Find "D5Converter" in the Community and check the checkbox to enable the plugin.

The search box will automatically adjust to the name of the newly installed plugin (to avoid searching).
