Modules not being found with Pytorch 1.8.1 and Blender 4.0+

[Draise14]

Been trying to install the modules needed to use this addon for Blender 4.0+ and Nvidia RTX 4090, but it seems Blender now uses Python 3.10+, and CUDA 11.8 is recommended. The method to manually build the environment no-longer works, neither can you install the environment through the addon method..

Error from using cuda 11.8 instead of cuda 10.2

Python: Traceback (most recent call last):

Ideally we could use the latest pytorch with cuda 11.8

conda install pytorch==2.2.1 cudatoolkit=11.8 -c pytorch

pip install torch-scatter -f https://pytorch-geometric.com/whl/torch-2.2.1+cu118.html

pip install torch-sparse -f https://pytorch-geometric.com/whl/torch-2.2.1+cu118.html

pip install torch-cluster -f https://pytorch-geometric.com/whl/torch-2.2.1+cu118.html

pip install torch-spline-conv -f https://pytorch-geometric.com/whl/torch-2.2.1+cu118.html

pip install torch-geometric

But the addon seems to not be working with the latest....

Update, I have the the CUDA toolkist 12.1 used to compile Blender (no-longer supports 10 or 11.# versions) - that might be the issue....
