Installation¶

Requirements¶

Coherence is currently only supported on Windows 10. It uses a number of features for inter-process communication that are only available on Windows.

Testing is done with Blender 2.91 and Unity 2020.1.3 but Coherence should work with later versions.

Note

Release packages are not available yet.

Warning

These artifacts update whenever the master branch is pushed, which may include various breaking changes or bugs.

In Blender, go to Edit > Preferences > Add-ons and click Install. Select the blender-addon.zip you downloaded earlier.

After installation make sure it’s selected in the Add-ons UI.

If installation is successful, you should have a new Render Engine available under Render Properties in the Properties Panel:

Unzip the unity-package.zip you downloaded.

In Unity, go to Window > Package Manager > + > Add package from disk and select the package you just unzipped.

Alternatively, you can just unzip it right into the Packages directory of your project.

After installing the package, you can access the Coherence Settings window via Window > Coherence

In File > Project Settings go to the Player settings and enable Allow ‘unsafe’ Code:
