Launch Blender Extensions

Centralised hub for the Launch suite of Blender toolkits.

WARNING: These extensions are in early beta and should be installed only for testing purposes.

Installation via Extensions Platform:

• Go to Blender Preferences > Get Extensions > Repositories > ＋ > Add Remote Repository
• Set the URL to https://jeinselen.github.io/Launch-Blender-Extensions/index.json
• Set the local directory if desired (relative paths seem to fail, try absolute instead)
• Enable Check for Updates on Start
• Filter the available extensions for "Launch" and install as needed

Installation via Download:

• Download the .zip file for a specific kit
• Drag-and-drop the file into Blender

This method will not connect to the centralised repository here on GitHub and updates will not be automatically available. If you don't need easy updates, don't want GitHub servers to be pinged when you start up Blender, or would just like to try some extensions without adding yet another repository to your Blender settings, this is the option for you.

Software is provided as-is with no warranty or provision of suitability. These are internal tools and are shared because we want to support an open community. Bug reports are welcomed (please use the specific extension repository, not this centralised hub), but we cannot commit to fixing or adding features.
