Blender 2.6x SVN: Un comodo PPA per Ubuntu e derivate

Dicembre 15, 2012 Marco Giannini

Lo scorso febbraio vi mostrai come installare l’ultima versione da SVN di Blender, il popolare programma open source che è diventato un punto di riferimento per la grafica 3D in ambiente Linux e non solo. Il programma è apprezzato anche da chi fa grafica 3D nel settore architettonico e si rivela un utile strumento anche per geometri, ingegneri e architetti come testimonia la recente esperienze di Matteo per la rubrica Lavorare con Linux.

Come dicevo lo scorso febbraio vi mostrai un PPA per installare l’ultima versione SVN che purtroppo è stato discontinuato. Fortuna vuole che come spesso accade nel mondo Ubuntu, morto un PPA se ne fa un altro.

Vediamo dunque come aggiungere il PPA di IRIE Shinsuke per Blender 2.4 and 2.6

Il PPA contiene infatti entrambi i rami di Blender, a noi però interessa come installare l’ultima versione SVN di Blender 2.6x

Vediamo dunque come aggiungere il PPA ed avere Blender sempre aggiornato all’ultima versione SVN. Il PPA è disponibile per Oneiric, Precise e Quantal.

Prima di procedere ecco le note di rilascio dell’autore del PPA

Provide
Blender 2.4 and 2.6 packages which can be installed simultaneously.
‘blender’ package is Blender 2.6, and ‘blender2.4’ package is Blender
2.4.
If you want to use the Cycles renderer with CUDA support, you have to
install the CUDA toolkit on your system to do runtime compilation of
the CUDA kernel.
Blender 2.6 package is (mostly) weekly trunk build. The build may be postponed when the trunk has some serious problem.

Patches:
* Freestyle integration

==NOTE== The texture type number of the Planet Texture has been
changed 16 -> 17 when OceanSim modifier patch was merged to trunk
(r41780). So, if you open .blend file which was created using the Planet
Texture before that, you have to select “Planet” in texture type menu
again.

Note that the executables in blender2.4 package are renamed to avoid conflicts between 2.4 and 2.6:
/usr/bin/blender => /usr/bin/blender2.4
/usr/bin/blenderplayer => /usr/bin/blenderplayer.blender2.4
