Prerequisites:
- download 'bLandscapeTools-master.zip' addon
- grab a nightly build of Blender 2.79(32/64bit) from https://builder.blender.org/download/ (currently only Windows is supported) and unzipped it wherever you want
- get the external tool called GDAL from www.gisinternals.com/release.php, choose 32/64 bit version, download "gdal-xxx-1800-x64-core.msi"(xxx = whatever latest version there is) and install it(by default installed to c:\Program Files\GDAL
Addon installation:
Note: if you unzipped Blender into a location which requires Administrator's rights to write, make sure to 'Run as administrator' when launching Blender, this is necessary only once when addon(more precisely OpenCV) is being installed for the first time
- run Blender and go to File -> User Preferences(or Ctrl+Alt+U)
- switch to Add-ons tab and at the bottom of the window press "Install from File..", locate and confirm downloaded bLandscapeTools-master.zip file(addon will show up in the list of avalaible addons)
- check empty rectangle right next to the addon's name to enable it -> addon is installed!!!
- now, open addon's properties by clicking on the arrow right next to addon's name and in the Preferences set the GDAL path(by default installed to c:\Program Files\GDAL)
- before the next step I recommend to open system console, either go to Window -> Toggle System Console or press Space and type Toggle System Console and hit Enter
- now get back to the addon's preferences and hit Install OpenCV button, in the console you should see the progress of downloading and installing OpenCV library, once installed you should see a green check icon under the Install button.
- one more step... go to File -> Application Templates -> choose bLandscapeTools and get back to User Preferences window to press "Save User Settings" at the bottom of the window
Viola, tool is ready to use!!!
