Thanks, I’m not planning on writing a BI template in the near future. If I get some extra time I’ll probably write an OSL version first and that’s pretty low on my priority list. That being said, a large portion of the Cycles template could be reused to develop a BI template, basically you should just need to write new material definitions. If anyone else is interested in working on a BI template I’m more than happy to answer questions and help as much as I can.
How the hell did I miss this…guess I should come here more often. Was looking to see what new samples they were offering at HDR Labs…just scrolling along…BAM…“We welcome Blender to the sIBL family” …WTF…REALLY???..thanks muchly…works great and so much quicker (and less chance of me fucking up)…again …bless you all.
I finally got it working by meticulously following YAFU’s instructions and some hints on the sIBL forum… so AWESOME!!! thanks so much for making this addon for Blender:)
Remove double post.
Hi,
First a big thanks to Jed for implementing that!
I will use if you are ok with it Jed, your thread for sIBL_GUI major announcements. The first one is now:
I’m please and at same time ashamed to say that sIBL_GUI 4.0.8 is out!
Pleased because I finally got time to get back on the project, ashamed because it took me so long and I have left a lot of people with very annoying bugs. I’m sincerely sorry about that!
This release is mainly a maintenance release ironing out most of issues reported through Crittercism.
It also officialy includes Jed’s Blender_Cycles_Standard template: http://wiki.blender.org/index.php/Extensions:2.6/Py/Scripts/Import-Export/sIBL_GUI

does the plugin work for 2.70?
I see these questions on so many releases and updates to addons, why don’t people download the addon, test it, and report back that it worked with the build in question or did not?
Yes it works fine in 2.70.
does this work with 2.72 or linux for some reason I can’t get it to install to Blender?
It should be working fine. I just tested with a fresh install of Blender 2.72b and sIBL GUI 4.0.8 on my Debian box and didn’t encounter any problems.
Are you getting any specific error messages?
Hi @Kel_Solaar,
I have installed sIBL_GUI on my LinuxMint rebecca 17.1 (kernel Trusty) AMD64 but allways this traceback:

I am running a nvidia geforce on my laptop under Win7 and with Blender 2.74RC1 I can no longer run siblGui, however it still runs fine under 2.73 so I guessing a change has occured, perhaps in python, which is upsetting the loader script. Hopefully a revision will be available soon.
Ok, strange. All of a sudden, sIbl gui 4 is not working in Blender 2.73 as well.
Getting the following error when I try to send the loader script to blender with Blender having the tcp server running.
Also seems sporadic for sening data to Blender, doesn’t update each time
I’ve just done some quick testing using 2.75a and everything is working as expected here. If you’re still experiencing issues please open a ticket on the addon’s bug tracker:
https://bitbucket.org/jedfrechette/sibl_gui_for_blender/issues?status=new&status=open
I don’t regularly visit this forum so if you put it there I’m much more likely to be able to respond in a timely manner.
Hi @jedfrechette,
i am happy to say you: all is ok now with the sIBL_GUI install with pip on my Linux Mint Rebecca 17.2 64 bites.
And your 0.3 release of the add-on run very well with Blender 2.75a too!
A great thanks for your work!

Trying to get SIBL working again on my box. No matter what I do, Blender throws this error message every time I 1) start the server in Blender and 2) export from SIBL GUI. The error throws in Blender when I hit the export button in Sibl GUI.
It is doing the same behavior in every version of blender from 2.71 to 2.76.
Any suggestions? I tried to decipher but didn’t come up with much:
looks nice. these may be some stupid questions:
- how to locate/rotate my model on the extact place that I want? for example, place Suzanne on the desk, but rotate the monkey’s towrad to the window; at same time a 3d desk is located on the floor
- how to resize the scene to match the objects in HDR?
- Can the above g/r/s operation give a live render during modification?

hi, samiboy
try to delete C:\Users\yourname\AppData\Roaming\HDRLabs\sIBL_GUI( please firstly backup your HDRI set if any!), then restart your blender and sIBL
another hint, do not use SPACE in your file/directory name for installed sIBL
Oyster-
Thank you for the help! Unfortunately, that didn’t fix the error. I deleted C:\Users\yourname\AppData\Roaming\HDRLabs\sIBL_GUI, but the error persists. I have deleted those files, the closedand restarted sIBL/Blender a number of times, each time with the same error being thrown in Blender.
hm.
I’m not sure exactly what was misfiring, but an uninstall/reinstall of sIBL gui fixed things.
