Hi,
I have the same problem on my Linux. If you need some feedback for the resolution, just let me know.

Hi I am having this error over a year later, with Blender 4.2

Did you ever find the solution you were working on?

Thanks!

Hi @Michael_DeJong0108 , this issue should be fixed in the latest version of our plugin here.
If you still encounter it then we can inspect your console log for a more detailed readout of the error that may pinpoint the cause.

On Windows, this can be done easily by navigating to the top menu bar in Blender and choosing Window > Toggle System Console.
On Mac you will need to launch blender from the Terminal app using the following code:

cd /Applications/Blender.app/Contents/MacOS
./Blender

Make sure that "Blender.app" matches the directory name in your applications folder.

Once that is done, try re-installing the plugin with the console log open and share a screenshot of the log here when the issue is encountered.

Best,
Aldo

Thanks for getting back to me Aldo.

Unforutnately I am still getting the same error and have been using the latest plugin(s)

I am on Linux, does that help understand why I might be getting the error still?

@Michael_DeJong0108  Knowing it's on Linux does help. The add-on is intended to work primarily with CentOS distors, so if you are on another flavor of Linux you may encounter issues like this. We're looking to expand support where possible.

That being said, another member of the community on Discord did share a fix that worked for them. Could you try the following?

"For anyone else trying to run on Arch or other distros, this is just an installation error. To fix it, install the blender plugin, use it to install the integration tools (which will fail). Then delete the files installed in ~/Adobe/Substance3DIntegrationTools/ except for "version.txt". Finally, unzip the Substance3DIntegration tools .zip into ~/Adobe/Substance3DIntegrationTools/ and restart blender. It should work now."

Good grief!
Yes that works!! 🙂

Thank you so much.

Glad to hear it!
We'll document this on our add-on troubleshooting page while we expand support.
Do let us know if you have any other feedback.

Happy Blending!
