This collection is pruned and more suited specifically for animators, riggers and Python devs. These are tools I find useful in my work. master branch is more general and periodically synced with meta-androcto's repo.
- Blender 2.76+ build from buildbot.
- blenderpython zip, unpacked.
- Included in this repo: addon_utils.py, space_view3d.py
- Optional: Use Blender's config folders to keep a special config for addons_extern.
- Using addons_extern, there is no need to mix external addons with Blender's bundled addons. Upgrading requires less filtering and easier maintenance.
- addons_extern often serves as a home for abandoned addons, with fixes for later versions of blender.
- addons_extern should be placed next to addons & addons contrib in
$BLENDER_ROOT\2.76\scripts
- Use at your own risk!
- Some addons are hard coded to addons_extern folder.
- Open the _init_.py file for the addon & shortly below the addon information there will be text with path & addons in it.
- Be careful using addons_extern! Some addons work on large amounts of data, resulting in slow calculations and higher potential to crash.
- Save Often. I'm not responsible for any lost effort or broken addons.
