    Setting up addons for Blender 2.8

    Someone contacted me having problems getting addons to work with Blender 2.8 so I decided to create a video just about setting up addons for Blender 2.8.

    I hope it helps someone else in the future.

    Creating Walkmesh

    Please don't forget how important it is that the vertices along the edges align properly with the ones of adjacent tiles. You only set the outer edges to 5 and -5, but didn't change the other vertices at all. Since you just extruded edges randomly, the verts will be all over the place and never align with those of adjacent tiles. If you make a tile that is added to one of the vanilla tilesets, you also shouldn't have that many vertices along the edges at all, you only need three, one at 0, 5 and -5. I also don't understand the whole extruding again and again. Can't you just make a 5x5 plane in Blender?
  • TondenTonden Member Posts: 224

    Yeah you can make a 5x5 in blender I was just using extruding

    Thanks for pointing that out and I will look into recreating the video to make sure I point that out as well.

    Here I thought I would share another video that would be a good one for anyone wanting to create tiles for NWN.
