Before you could install Primstar script you’ll need to find Blender’s scripts folder first. The problem comes up since Blender usually hide their system folder in Mac and Linux. Even in Windows the default installed folder are different depend on you have downloaded an installer version or Zip Archive.
This tutorial using Blender 2.49
1. Run Blender and browse on top menu Help > System > System information
2. Blender will start checking your system and show you a small notice after it finished.
3. On the top bar click on Datablock type and change to SR.5-Scripting. This will change Blender screen into scripting style whice you need to open text file in next step.
4. On the bottom-right window you should see dropdown menu showing something like TX:Text click on it and select system-info.txt instead.
5. This system-info.txt contain all infomation about your machine and Blender which include where is scripts folder located.
6. Look for Default Dir for scripts and you’ll see exactly where is your Blender scripts folder.In right screenshot it’s on Ubuntu linux system. the path to Blender scripts folder is : home/romeo/soft/blender2.49b_py2/…
I’m trying 2 work with flash & blender so I was lookin`for this directory 2 install the script Ima gonna need, thanx 4 the help cuz`I couldn`t find it by myself xD
Thanks for the help! I couldn’t find it now that I changed OS, and this was really helpfull! Thanks
I found my script path. I extracted the primstar script to there..still get an error message in Blender that says Python script error check concole.
So, I copied and pasted the files from with the extracted primstar into the same script path. Same error Python Script error. When ever I start Blender the little black box says Python – Got it!
I have tried forever now, to no avail
@joey checklist :
- what verison of Primstart are you using?
- Primstar script are not for Blender 2.5 only work with Blender 2.4x
- Bake Sculptie command are use only with Sculpt Mesh. You can’t use it to bake regular mesh. Read how to add sculpt mesh from here.
- Best way to confirm script working is to Add Sculpt Mesh and then Bake Sculptie immediately. Do not manipulate anything on sculpt mesh I found many people done something wrong while modeling and make Bake command doesn’t work so just add sculpt mesh and bake it right away to see if script working or not.
- Blender Black Box is call “Console” when any error occur it will show information about what went wrong. Try to read info from there its might help identify your problem.
I am struggling to find the scripts folder for my files….
User defined dir for scripts:
— not found
Is there a fix for this? I would appreciate any advice or steps I can take to get the software up and running on my second pc!
@Zezu No, you should looking for Default Dir for Scripts not User Defined Dir.
