Installing DTPBlender

For Linux:

  • Untar the corresponding archive to a location of your choice
  • Run the included shell script (dtpblender), which will try to setup Full Scene Anti Aliasing (FSAA) and then run the actual binary (dtpblender-bin).
  • Note: FSAA has only been tested on Nvidia chipsets. I do not know how to correctly set up a suitable FSAA mode for ATI or other chipsets. FSAA is crucial for getting a usable preview, so you should definitely find out how to set it up for your card.
  • DTPBlender will create a directory ".iblender2" in your home directory where it will store your preferences (DB.blend) and various other stuff.
  • You can additionally create a file "Bfs" there, in which you can put your list of "favourite" directories for the fileselector, one directory per line.

For other OSes:

  • You will need to figure out how to setup FSAA for DTPBlender manually. This is almost a requirement - it's next to impossible to work with DTPBlender without anti-aliasing.
  • More information for other OSes might be coming soon.
