This page will show you how to install the Wolvenkit Blender Plugin from a github release or tag. If you want to install the bleeding edge, please check Installing from github source instead.

Compatibility

Step 0: Uninstall the old version

1. Open the Blender Preferences (Toolbar: Edit -> Preferences) and select the AddOns tab

Complete either of the options below:

Click the Remove button

The build-in Blender way. Should work. If it doesn't check the second option

Delete the files on your disk

Check the plugin's file entry. It will usually be something like this:

%APPDATA%\Blender Foundation\Blender\4.0\scripts\addons\i_scene_cp77_gltf

Navigate there with your Windows Explorer (Hotkey: Windows+R, paste the path above after changing your Blender version), and delete everything — either the entire folder, or all files inside.

Step 1: Install the plugin

Download the latest release of the plugin from github:

1. On the releases page, find the most recent release

2. Scroll past the change notes to the Assets section

3. Download the zip file with the plugin:

1. Start Blender

2. Open the Blender Preferences (Toolbar: Edit -> Preferences) and select the AddOns tab

1. Click the "Install" button and select the zip file you downloaded in step 2

Step 2: Enable the plugin

After you have successfully installed the plugin, you can now use the search bar to find it:

Make sure the box is checked and restart Blender.

Troubleshooting

I can't (un)install the plugin!

You can do both by hand. Find your Blender install's plugin folder, the path will look something like this (replace 3.6 with your Blender version):

%APPDATA%\Blender Foundation\Blender\3.6\scripts\addons

Inside the plugins folder, the Wolvenkit Blender IO Suite will be installed to the subfolder i_scene_cp77_gltf.

To uninstall the plugin, delete the entire folder.

To install the plugin, find the folder in your downloaded zip file that contains the file __init__.py, move it here, and rename it.

Now, restart Blender.

This guide will show you how to download and install the Wolvenkit Blender IO Suite from github source.

Step 1: Download from github

1. Head to the Wolvenkit Blender IO suite's github repository

2. Click the green Code button

3. Click "Download ZIP" at the bottom

Step 2: Finding the install location

2.1: Find the correct install path

1. Open the Blender Preferences (Toolbar: Edit -> Preferences) and select the AddOns tab

2. Search for cyberpunk

3. See the current install path under File. It should be something like this:

C:\Users\USERNAME\AppData\Roaming\Blender Foundation\Blender\VERSION\scripts\addons\i_scene_cp77_gltf\__init__.py

1. Everything before the __init__.py is the path to the current install.

2.2: Delete the old install

1. Navigate your Windows Explorer to the path you found in 2.3 (Shortcut: Windows+R, type %APPDATA%, confirm, then browse from there)

2. Delete the whole i_scene_cp77_gltf folder.

3. Leave the explorer window open, you need it for Step 3!

Step 3: Extract the download

1. Open Cyberpunk-Blender-add-on-main.zip that you downloaded in step 1.

2. Find the folder named i_scene_cp77_gltf. This is the blender add-on:

1. Copy or drag the folder to the addons folder from step 2.2.

Step 3: Restart Blender

After restarting Blender, you now have the very latest version of the plugin. If you want anything more recent, you have to become a developer yourself.

Happy modding!
