Lily Surface Scraper v1.3.4 - RC2

Try to install the add-on using LilySurfaceScrapper-v1.3.4-rc2.zip first. It is more lightweight, but troubles have been reported when using it on OSX or Ubuntu. Only if it does not work then install LilySurfaceScrapper-BundledLxml-v1.3.4-rc2.zip but in this case please fill a report to explain what was the issue with the first one!

Lily Surface Scraper v1.3.4 - RC1

The main goal of this release is to be finally working on OSX and Ubuntu, as several people reported bugs regarding the installation of lxml. So, if you have an error about lxml when activating the add-on, please open an issue specifying exactly which version of Blender you use, which version of the add-on and which OS. This version will remain RC (release candidate) until this is fixed.

Lily Surface Scraper v1.3.3

If you have an error about lxml when activating the add-on, try just restarting Blender before activating the add-on again. In most cases, it fixes the issue. If you are using Mac, you can try this solution. If none of the above solution works for you, please report in the bug tracker.

Changelog

• Fix issues about missing color spaces when setting up color/non-color texture nodes.

• Update CC0 scraper to acount for changes in the website source code.

• Add support for extra download links in hdrihaven scrapper. Some pages on HDRIHaven have an extra link to download a tone mapped version of the texture. This crashing the scrapper, now this is fixed and it is even possible to load the tone-mapped version from the add-on.

• Switch to using API for CC0Textures (more robust and future proof)

• Handle custom OCIO colorspace config when setting up cycle nodes

• Various bugfixes

Lily Surface Scraper v1.3.2 - RC3

This is a Release Candidate, namely a beta release that may have issues. The main issue that can occur is an error about lxml upon installation. If you run into such trouble (or any trouble actually) please report in the bug tracker. If no issue is reported in the incoming days, this release candidate will become an actual stable release.

Changelog

• Update CC0 scraper to acount for changes in the website source code.

• Add support for extra download links in hdrihaven scrapper. Some pages on HDRIHaven have an extra link to download a tone mapped version of the texture. This crashing the scrapper, now this is fixed and it is even possible to load the tone-mapped version from the add-on.

• Improve documentation. The front page README has been largely redacted and illustrated.

• Install lxml using pip. The Python library lxml on which we rely used to be savagely packaged in this add-on as precompiled binaries copied from different sources. It now uses Python's library manager (pip) to install lxml if it was missing. This is ensured to be compatible with any OS, avoid duplicating lxml and avoids distributing a partly binary add-on (which was not so GPL compliant).

• Make it possible to import a world without an active object. The world import buttons were greyed out when no object was active (a leftover from the material importation buttons that must indeed be greyed out in that case).

• Load preferences properly when installed from master. Nobody should install the add-on from the master's root but in practice many people do (e.g. using the "Download as zip" button on GitHub) so we made the add-on work as well in that case.
