Create a project and connect Blender

Connect this .blend to one CMS project. Paste the Blender Token, then the Project code. Once per project. The later chapters need the Add-on to show Connected.

Done when Connected shows in the Add-on and your machine appears under Blender clients.

  1. 1Copy the Blender Token

    In CMS, open Access tokens. Click Copy on the Blender Token. This is the key for this user, not for one file.

  2. 2Paste the Token in Blender

    Press N to open the VisibleIO panel. Paste into the Blender Token field. If this field is empty, Connect will fail later.

  3. 3Create a project

    In CMS click Create Project and name it. Everything after this — scene, materials, Rendering Tasks — sits under that name.

  4. 4Copy and paste the Project code

    Open the project. Click Copy on the Project code. Paste it in the VisibleIO panel, then click Connect. Token without a project code does nothing.

  5. 5Confirm Connected

    Look for Connected on the Add-on. On the project page, Blender clients should list this machine. If either is missing, paste again and wait for Connected.
