abstract:The tutorial shows how you can customize blender to use your personal scripts location folder.

Blender’s user manual is available online in several languages and is constantly updated by a worldwide collaboration of volunteers every day. The Python API opens up Blender to technical users and add-on developers, allowing the creation of custom tools and workflows. Uninstall Blender and uninstall Python. Then install Python 2.6.x before you install your Blender 2.49b. It has to be Python ver 2.6.x or your Blender install will not acknowledge Python at all. Also when you download Blender 2.49b, make sure to download and run the exe installer and not (just) the zip file. I added the zip file after the exe.

Blender 2.49 Portable

2.49b

One advantage of blender is the possibility to be expandable with customization scripts. blender contains a complete python-interpreter, so scripting works out of the box.

Many python-scripts are already bundled with blender but there are much more scripts available. And they have been created to make your work with blender much easier. Even if you are an non experienced user, you will probably need to install your own script collection. So i will show you now, how to do that in a convenient way.

First, i will create a script-directory on the file system. I will place it right into my personal directory. I have already downloaded a couple of scripts, and i place them now into the just created directory. By the way, these scripts contain primstar, an exporter, importer, and generator for sculpted prims. If you want to know more about that, please watch our follow up tutorials.

Ok! Now i start blender.

  • In the upper left corner you see the information icon. This is a hidden window. You can access it by placing the cursor on the window border, left mouse click and then drag the window down. The user preferences appear.
  • Go to the right side and click the button: “File Paths”. A set of input fields appear.
  • Locate the field labeled with: “python scripts”, and click on the associated folder icon. a file selector box appears.
  • Now navigate to your scripts directory.
  • Then select the directory by clicking on: “select script path” now blender immediately finds and recognizes all scripts, which we have placed into our personal directory.

Let’s navigate to some places, where you can now see, how nice the scripts integrate into the blender interface.

  • Now move the user preferences window out of sight.
  • One final task is still to be done. If you exit blender now, it will silently forget about your custom scripts directory. So we have to tell blender to preserve this information.
  • go to file -> save default settings.

Tips And Hints

From now on blender remembers your settings whenever you start it again. You can jump start into your blender art work creation now.
