Quick Start

Installation

  • 📦 Download the source code.

  • Unzip it.

    Tip

    When working on a local project, additional folders are created at first launch. You should unzip the archive into a new folder (for example, myProject). 📂

    install_folder

  • Run install_dev.bat 📝.

  • Double-click the newly created BluePepper shortcut.

From here, we recommend:

Download the demo project

At first launch, if BluePepper detects the project is empty, you will be prompted to download a demo project.

download_project

If you press "Yes", BluePepper will set up a database with a few assets and shots and will download a few Blender files for you to play with.

demo_project

Create a few assets/shots manually

If you prefer not to download the demo project, just click No and go to the EntityCreator page to create your own assets and shots.

quickstart_entitycreator

Once this is done, you can explore the Browser to see what you can do.

Experimenting With Configuration Files

If you're feeling adventurous, you can explore the files in the conf 📂 folder to get a sneak peek at the inner workings of BluePepper.

I don't know where to start

Don't worry if you feel a bit lost with configuration files. Everything is explained in detail in the TD/Dev Documentation.

To get started, take a look at project.py, naming_conventions.py, and app_browser.py.
