Assetfetch for Blender

Installation

Follow the instructions outlined here.

What's Changed

This new pre-release introduces the following changes:

• Added HDRI support
• Changed to using AssetFetch specification version 0.4 (until 1.0 there will only be one version supported at a time)
• The addon now uses the new "extension" platform which lays the groundwork for its inclusion in remote repositories in the future

Known issues

• The addon's handling of third-party python dependencies clashes with the new extension system, leading to a lot or warnings. This will be worked on in a future version

Technical Preview Release 0.1.0

This is the first so-called "Technical Preview" of the AssetFetch addon for Blender.
It supports basic loose material and USD imports but still lacks a lot of polish and is almost certainly full of bugs that will be tackled one-by-one with the following pre-releases.

Installation

Download af_blender_0_1_0.zip from this page, go into Blender and select Edit -> Preferences -> Addons. Then click on the Install button and simply navigate to the ZIP file (no need to unpack it). The AssetFetch panel will be added in the right-side menu in the 3D-window.
