Update | D5 Sync for Blender
Key words: Import model | File format | Workflow
Ver. 0.9.1.0051
Release date: 20241024
New
Supports Blender 4.2
Supports camera animations
Supports linking external Blender files (File > Link)
Supports curves, surfaces, and text objects
Supports modifiers on curves, surfaces, and text objects, including geometry nodes
Supports instantiation of empties for curves, surfaces, and text objects
Optimization
Supports synchronizing IES lights and light colors to D5
Custom light groups and light names in D5 will be preserved when synchronizing again
Fixes
Fixed the delay in Blender when enabling viewport sync
Resolved an issue where empty material slots in synced objects rendered the plugin unusable
Known Issues
Collections in linked (File > Link) external Blender files are not supported for sync/export
Materials of linked models are not supported for baking
Models instantiated from empties in linked external files are not supported for sync/export
Simple line models are not supported
Materials of curves, surfaces, and text objects are not supported for baking; convert to mesh for baking
Models with geometry node modifiers are not supported for baking materials
Ver. 0.9.0.0102
Release date: 20240709
New
Compatible with Blender 4.1
Supports more Geometry Nodes from Blender 3.4 to 4.1
Supports more Modifier operations from Blender 3.4 to 4.1
Optimization
Increased sync speed
Increased sync speed for Geometry Nodes
Increased speed for single texture baking
Fixes
Fixed synchronization and material issues for models duplicated using Alt+D
Known Issues
Operational delays in Blender when view synchronization is enabled
In linked mode, the operation of un-hiding objects cannot be synchronized to D5 Render. To ensure proper synchronization, it is recommended to move the object after unhiding it before syncing
Currently not supports Geometry Nodes with initial data types set to curves, including curve to mesh
Materials of certain geometry nodes are temporarily unsupported for synchronization and baking
Ver. 0.8.0.0096
Release date: 20240125
New
Compatible with Blender 4.0
Exported .d5a files support thumbnails
Optimisation
Increased sync speed
Improved launch speed for non-first-time Blender starts after installation
Fixes
Fixed normal issue that some models synced into D5 being blackened or greyed in colour
Fixed the issue of texture anomaly when exporting .d5a to D5 after baking the same material for the same object with different resolutions.
Fixed the size issue of Blender 3.5 models synced to D5.
Fixed the issue that models were not synced to D5 after the end of sync in some scenes.
Known issues
Curve to Mesh node sync is not supported yet.
Hiding objects does not trigger incremental sync, it is recommended to use full sync.
If the sync is abnormal after using a modifier, it is recommended to apply the modifier before syncing.
When you use Alt+D or other methods to associate copied objects with sync errors, it is recommended that you select the model first, click blender Object-Relations-Make Single User-Object&Data&Materials, and then sync.
Ver. 0.8.0.0039
Release date: 20230731
New
Support Blender 3.6
Fixes
Fixed the issue where some scenes could not be synchronized to D5
Known Issues
When using Blender 3.6, the synchronization speed of the D5 plugin is about 3 times slower than other versions.
Ver.0.7.0.0134
Release date: 20230221
New
Support Blender 3.4
Support mapping the cloth material template in D5 Render
Support D5 Render 2.4
Optimized baking algorithm
Fixes
Auto-UV baking error
Material failed to bake when the file name has characters unsupported by Windows OS
Wrong size of sync-ed rectangular lights.
Material failed to bake when some models were deleted.
Ver.0.7.0.0007
Release date: 20221108
New
Blender 2.93LTS/3.0/3.1/3.2/3.3LTS supported
One-click installer
New UI and interactive experience
Supported materials: Principled BSDF、Glass BSDF、Emission、Diffuse BSDF.
Incremental synchronization of models, materials, lights, and cameras.
Live sync of the viewports.
Export certain selected objects.
Supported texture formats: .png/.jpg/.bmp/.jpeg/.tiff/.tif/.tga.
Ignore unsupported nodes and sync textures directly.
Currently unsupported:
Curves. Please convert curves into meshes then start sync. (Select the model-Object-Convert-Mesh)
Geometry Nodes, curves of Cycles, Modifiers with multiple frames. (only one frame can be synchronized)
Rotation in UV mapping. (Only X and Y axes of Location and Scale in Blender can be synchronized)
Models or lights from instancing empties.
Displacement nodes. (We can use modifiers to make displacement effects instead)
Node Groups. (It is recommended to link principled BSDF and then bake them)
Copies of baked models need to be baked again before sync.
Shape keys.
Known issue
The UI language change will not take effect until Blender reboots.
If the textures are baked totally black, please send the Blender file to support@d5techs.com.
Hiding or unhiding objects cannot activate the Sync button.
