How to install plugins
Plugins help expand Blender
We use them for multiple things, from aligning UV maps automatically, to creating cables with ease. Plugins add much more to Blender, so the devs can focus on the importance updates, whilst plugin devs can make the niche stuff.
Some plugins are FOSS, whilst others are paid content. To find extensions, you can use the built-in Add-on browser, or websites like Superhive.
Add-on Browser
Blender has a built-in Add-on browser, allowing for easy installation of plugins right from Blender itself. To open it head to the Blender Preferences in Edit>Preferances and click on the Get Extensions button. You can search for plugins here, like the GTA Plugin Sollumz
Select Sollumz and click the "Install" button to install it, easy as that! Feel free to search up other plugins too.
Installing from file
When you buy a plugin from somewhere like Superhive you get a .zip file containing the plugin files. To install these plugins we need to select the zip archive in Blenders Add-on section. For this example, we will use PowerSave. A powerful saving tool allowing for autosaves and more, it is also only a dollar.
Like above, navigate to Edit>Preferances>Get Extensions. This time click the drop-down arrow and select "Install from Disk", navigate to, and select your PowerSave zip archive, click Install from Disk.
