Please prefix your issue name with one of the following: [BUG] [PROPOSAL] [QUESTION]

Retopoflow Version: 3.4.2

Blender Version/Hash: 3.6.8

Platform Version/Distribution: Windows 10

 

Issue:

I cannot activate the addon in Blender. I freshly installed Blender 3.6.8 and the RF addon. I tried following Blender versions:

• 4.0.2
• 3.6.8

and following RF versions:

• 3.4.2
• 3.4.1
• 3.4.0

With every combination l I get the same error when trying to activate the addon. It does not recognize the python module 'retopoflow-3'.

 

How to Reproduce:

• Install Blender 3.6.8 or later
• Install RF 3.4.0 or later
• Install the addon in Blender
• Try to activate the addon and it fails

it looks like you're installing from the zip that GitHub automatically creates, which is not blender-friendly. instead, you need to use the official zips from blender market or the release page (https://github.com/CGCookie/retopoflow/releases)
