How to Install Texturaizer
NOTE: When first installing the plugin Into Blender, you may have to run Blender as administrator. After dependencies are installed, you can run Blender normally. (I would run blender normally first, and only run as administrator if you have issues).
1. Download the Plugin
Get the latest version of Texturaizer from Gumroad, Payhip, or Blender Market. You will receive a .zip file to download (leave it zipped).
2. Install in Blender
With Blender open, go to Edit > Preferences > Add-ons in Blender and click the drop down on the upper right corner. Select install from disk. In the file browser select the .zip file and click Install Add-on.
Alternatively just drag and drop the zipped folder into the Blender scene and you will be prompted to install the addon!
3. Enable the Add-on
In the addon preferences, check the box next to “Texturaizer V0” to enable it in Blender.
4. Install Python Dependencies
NOTE: When first installing the plugin Into Blender, you may have to run Blender as administrator. After dependencies are installed, you can run Blender normally.
You will now likely be asked to install missing dependencies. These are python packages required to run Texturaizer. Click “Install Missing Dependencies” and then wait a little while for the packages to install (This may take a few minutes and the interface will be frozen during the installation).
NOTE: To see the progress of the install, open the Blender console prior to clicking install.
5. Configure ComfyUI Settings
For information on installing ComfyUI, please see Getting Started with ComfyUI.
NOTE: There is a lot here, so on this page only the most important settings are outlined. For a full breakdown of all the settings in the panel see the Addon Properties Panel page.
Use Local ComfyUI Install
If you are running ComfyUI locally, leave this enabled (blue). If you are using a remote ComfyUI server, disable this setting.
For Local Install
ComfyUI Path
If you are using a local installation of ComfyUI, it can be hooked up to Texturaizer to allow for starting the server from within the plugin as well as updating the Texturaizer ComfyUI nodes directly. Fill in the “ComfyUI directory” with your local installation location. This directory must be the one containing the “main.py” file.
For Remote Server
SERVER URL
This is the separated components of the Server that are used both for connecting to the ComfyUI server and when starting a local ComfyUI server from within Blender.
- Scheme: Default: HTTP, some remote servers use HTTPS
- Server Host: Default: 127.0.0.1
- Port: Default: 8188
This can also be overwritten from within the Actions Panel Settings using the Overwrite Server option. This is useful for remote servers that change constantly, like a pay to access server.
Use Custom Python Executable
This is for if the local installation of ComfyUI does not have its own python executable, or if it is not in the default location. If not specified Texturaizer will attempt to find the executable within the local ComfyUI directory, and otherwise default to the system’s python.
Data Preferences
Texturaizer saves data to a folder specific for each Blender file. This includes json files and input and output images. If working with an unsaved Blender file, the data will go to the default data directory.
- Always Use Default Data Directory: When enabled, rather than saving to a subfolder of the directory that the Blender file is saved in, it will save to a subfolder of the default data directory with the name of the Blender File.
- Use Default Data Sub-Directory: The Directory that unsaved Blender file’s Texturaizer data is saved.
- Default Data Dir: The Directory that unsaved Blender file’s Texturaizer data is saved.
6. Save Preferences and CREATE🚀!
Remember to save Blender Preferences or set to Auto-Save Preferences
