I've downloaded the plugin and seems successfully installed but I'm unable to get a viewport to open. I've applied a PBR material and click on Reopen Viewport from the toolbar. I get a dialog box with "Propagate materials to whole model (Recommended)". Whether I select Yes or No, nothing happens. It's likely I'm not following the correct procedure?

PBR plugin requires this other plugin : glTF Exporter. Do you have installed it?

macchu · 12 Sept 2018, 15:05

Yes, sorry I forgot to mention that, but the glTF exporter is also installed.

Please open a Ruby Console* and paste this code:


PBR;;Viewport.reopen

Then send me resulting text or a screen capture.

(*) Window > Ruby Console

Here is a screenshot of the resulting text.

Looks good. I don't understand why Viewport doesn't open.

macchu · 12 Sept 2018, 18:25

It should open in a Chrome browser?
