Linux Addons

Is there a linux version of blenderseed?

There are unofficial builds as well as ways to compile it by yourself.

Unofficial builds from Discord as well as one I created.

If you want to build yourself, there is a WIP Makefile from Discord and my Docker Container which builds Blender as well as Blenderseed for you.

The problem is, that the library is not yet installed. If I remember correctly, you need to copy the library into your /lib/ folder / add a search path or the likes. Blenderseed simply can't find where the appleseed library is located.
