If you want to use Blender 2.70 with Primstar or Avastar, then please update your addons as follows:
Avastar
If you want to use the latest Avastar then you must use Blender 2.70a. Avastar-1.1 is still in the alpha stage. To be up to date, always use the highest numbered Avastar which at this time is [avastar_addon_zip] (which can be found in the main inventory area and in the test folder of your download page). Please review the changelogs and check this page frequently for newer updates.
- Open your download page
- Locate and open the testversions subfolder
- Download the most recent version of Avastar.
- Install the addon as usual.
Primstar-2
Error when enabling after update
Sometime the update appears to be broken and you may get an error message from Blender when you try to enable the Addon:
This is a known issue with the Avastar installer.
Workaround:
Please restart Blender after installing or updating to Avastar-1.1. The Addon will then become available.
Hint: You can keep your user preferences intact when you update. Just install over the existing addon and restart blender should work normally.
If nothing helps, then you can try this (at least to users have reported that this finally got them to go):
- Install the zip addon.
- In the addon tab, type Avastar into the search field.
- Verify that Avastar is enabled.
- Save user settings.
- Restart Blender.
- If you are in Blender 2.7x, the Add menu is now at the bottom of the 3D View window. The shortcut is Shift-A.
If it is stubborn, uninstall Avastar and restart Blender before proceeding with the steps..
Still stubborn? Set to Factory setting, uninstall Avastar and proceed with the steps.
Thanks Gaia, no problems here – just wanted to say ‘Thanks’ for the update. New install of Blender 2.71, new Avastar 1.13 – works a charm.
Now I just gotta read the new workflow doc.. 🙂
Trying to upgrade I had same problems. Following the suggestions I ended with the 1.1 version
that worked like a charm so far, I did also install 309 cleanly without problems. As always great support,
Thanks
I installed Primstar 309 into Blender 2.70 I checked it all and it does show it is in the user settings and ticked. However, in the create tools there is no sculpt shapes at all. Also, I cannot try to sculptify a simple cube because it just crashes the Blender system since 2.69 and 2.70.
i had this problem as well for some time. There was no obvious problem with Primstar though. What finally helped was to completely uninstall primstar-2, restart blender, then install version 309.
Maybe that can help you as well ?
no matter what i do, it not working with blender 2.7. So now i have to work with 2 blender versions? 1 for avastar and one for my blender work?
In all cases of “it just won’t work for me” the solution was:
– ensure that you try to install an Avastar-1.1 version from the testversions subfolder.
– ensure that your download is a valid zip file
– open blender and uninstall the old Avastar
– close blender
– open blender again
– install and enable the new Avastar-1.1
– close blender
– open blender again, now Avastar should be working for you again.
And this is really the most picky approach 🙂 If you still have issues to install Avastar-1.1 then something else must be broken on your system. What is you operating system then and what exact version of Avastar do you try to install ?
