This tutorial shows you how to install Human Generator! ### Step 1: Download the content packs (`.hgpack`) and the add-on `HumGen3D_V?_?.zip`. These can be found in the [[Where to find my downloads]] page. ![[Pasted image 20221119112157.png]] ### Step 2: Inside Blender, go to `edit>preferences>add-ons` and press *Install*. (The install button is in the top right corner). A popup will open to find the add-on. Find the Human Generator add-on file you downloaded (the `HumGen3D_V?_?.zip`) and press *Install add-on*. ![[Installation_GIF_1_V5.gif|300]] >[!warning] >The add-on should remain as a `.zip` file, do not manually unzip it. Some browsers (like Safari) automatically unzip files. In this case either retrieve the original `.zip` from your trash folder or redownload it with another browser. ### Step 3: Now Human Generator should appear in your add-on list. If the preferences didn't automatically open, make sure the add-on is enabled (checkbox) and the preferences are opened (arrow to the left of the checkbox). Select a path for Human Generator to install the content packs in. If the Human Generator install screen did not show up right away, go to `edit>preferences>add-ons>Human Generator` and use the small button on the left to open the HG preferences. ![[install_image_2.jpg]] > [!info] > **It's recommended to use an empty folder with at least 2.5 GB of free space!** This is where all content packs will be installed. Changing the folder location later might unlink the textures from the models. ### Step 4: Select the content packs you downloaded (`.hgpack`), you can use the `Ctrl` key (Windows) or the `CMD` key (MacOS) to select multiple files in one go. If a red error message appears behind a file, it will not be installed. ![[Pasted image 20221119113053.png]] ### Step 5: Press *Install All Content Packs*. This will install the selected packs into the folder you selected in step 2. It might take some time, as GigaBytes of data is being uncompressed. ![[Pasted image 20221119113231.png]] ### *Human Generator is now successfully installed!* Ran into any issues? [[Contact Us]]
