/Applications/blender/blender.app/Contents/MacOS/.blender

scripts should be installed at:
/Applications/blender/blender.app/Contents/MacOS/.blender/scripts

Replace "blender" with the name of the folder your own blender is in, if any.

If you're using Finder to navigate to the folders, it's rough — you can right click on blender.app and use "Show Package Contents" but I don't know how to see the .blender folder (it's invisible). It's easier to use terminal if you know how to do that. Instructions:

If you use Terminal, and the .py is on the desktop, do the following commands in Terminal (this assumes you've started a new Terminal window and are in ~ (your home directory):

cd Desktop
cp filename.py /Applications/blender/blender.app/Contents/MacOS/.blender/scripts/

If you want to move it replace cp (copy) with mv (move).

Good luck!

epat, for your answer i will give it a go.

Please can you help with one more question.

I have downloaded and installed Blender 2.41 for Mac OSX.

The only thing with the Mac OSX version though is i cannot see a Scripts folder within the installation, only a Plugin folder.

Could any one tell me why this is.

Thanks again

Gary.

Blender newbie

The Espresso Displacement script is now working.

Wow ! what a great script.

Since i discovered Blender a long time ago i i never used it becuase i was still a little green about 3D apps. Also when i first looked at Blender many years ago the interface frightened me.

Now some weeks ago i decided to download and look again at The current version of Blender for Windows, all i can say is what a fantastic powerfull 3D app it is, also i cannot believe how superb the interface is as for some reason i manged to use it within a couple of sessions and with the help of the also superb manual.

I,m hooked, i think 3D max may take a back seat for a while.

Blender Rocks, and so do all the talented scripters.

Thanks again you guy,s for your very quick reply.

Gary

hmmm…
1. select any mesh object.
2. select "script-window"!!! -> under "object" should appear espresso v1.1.1.
(You can also select the script in the 3d-window under object->scripts->espresso v1.1.1)

if you change anything in your blender script directory while blender is running you need to hit the "update menu" button to refresh the script list.

hmmmmm….check your: Espresso.py in your blender script directory (C:\Programme\Blender Foundation\Blender\.blender\scripts) important is the file extension .py! cause .txt wont work!!!

Maybe try opening the script with a text-editor and change group assignment to mesh for example (Group: 'Object' change to Group: 'mesh') save and try again, but now you need to look under scripts ->"mesh".
(this is the assignment to which script-group the script refers in blender)

Please help

I am quite new to Blender but understand 3D apps OK.

I have had no problems loading scripts into blender before, but i cannot get the displacement script to show up in the scripts menu.

I have installed it OK as per the instructions into the correct directories.

Also i have installed onto my windows machine Python 2.4.3
but i still cannot see the script in the menu.

I have also followed the instructions for create the mesh.

There are no words in there mentioning Espresso.

I am running the windows version Blender 2.41

can anybody help please.

Gary.
