Hello everyone,
I do feel a bit stupid to ask such a question but anyway…I am very new to Pyton maxdesk etc, and making movies…
and I did read on the site of blur that they do offer all for public what they use. But most of it isn’t available anymore or not updated for quite a long time now.
My question is, if I want to make a trailer like in Dragon Age Origins Sacred ashes, or something else would I definately need all the stuff blur uses?? and are there maybe other sources to get it?? guess Assfreeze and BlurPython and Assburner is something that just belongs to Blur…and you cannot download BlurPython anymore. So what can I do?? can someone help me there??
and please don’t make any bad comments about my question…as I said before I am totally new to all this…
thanks

Hi guys,
I had some problem with blur-dev (installed from gnomon workshop dvd), and I would like to know if someone knows how to remove the entire plugin.
I can’t find anything anywhere that explain it, don’t want to remove something I don’t have to in max folder!
Thanks for any help.
Matteo
Shouldn’t be hard. Start by removing the blur scripts in 3dsmax/stdplug/stdscripts (blurstartupmaxlib…?) … remove any blur plugins in the plugins folder (transform cache, blurdlx, blurpython, etc) and remove any lines in your 3dsmax.ini that point to the blur stuff.
I wasn’t sure of files installed in the directory by blur offline installer…at the end i realized that i could install it again on my desktop and see which was the files, so I removed them all and done a clean install again.
By the way thanks for the reply SoLiTuDe
I didn’t see this thread was still kind of active.
I have a problem with the installation of py3dsMax. I mean the installation goes fine, I have the “Python” tab in 3dsMax (2011), but none of the actions in this menu is enabled. I can’t even create a new python script.
I’m not sure it’s loading blur very well as I have an error when I run max that I didn’t have before : DLL <D:\ProhgramFiles\Autodesk\3ds Max 2011\stdplugs\Caddies.gup> failed to initialize. Error code 126 – The specified module could not be found.
If anyone has a solution I’d really appreciate it !
did you install the new release?
I had the same problem and by installing the new one, it fixed it.
I installed the one from this page : http://code.google.com/p/blur-dev/downloads/list so I think it’s the latest. I used the 64bit version.
Seeing the caddies.gup error on load means that your system can’t find the Qt DLLs that are installed.
Caddies.gup requires Qt (as do the actions within the Python menu). By default 3dsMax ships with Qt DLLs but they’re older than ours and so conflict so we move them to MAXPATH/bin/qt_bak on the install in place of ours.
Qt is backwards compatible, we do this in the studio no problem. However, if the system can’t find our installed Qt files then the system won’t work.
This usually has to do with write permissions in Windows 7, since we have to write the files to c:/windows/system32/blur64
Make sure that you have write access to that folder and re-run the installers. If you look in that path and you do already see the DLLs, then try updating your Environment Variables >> PATH value to include that location.
Its a bit tricky since everyone has their boxes configured differently, but when you see that error and get no response from the Python menu, its 100% missing the DLLs and thats where they get installed to.
Let me know if you’re still running into problems.
Thanks, this fixed the error at the lauching of 3dsMax. But I still don’t have access to the Python menu (I’m also posting here
Hi guys,
I just install the latest BlurOffline for my 3dsmax 2009 64bit,I have install Python 2.7.2 and PyQT4(package in bluroffline).But the Python menu didnot appear next to the Maxscript automaticlly. Though I add them manually, it doesnt’ work also. And I found some information from the MAXScript Listener below:
MAXScript Mini Listener”Code Path: c:/blur/dev/offline/maxscript/treegrunt/”

Could anyone tell me why the DLL is not loaded? I have locate the installation to my max root. Does it relate to my OS(Win7 x64)?
