The app itself also runs faster on M1 Macs because the app now have direct access to the GPU. The Metal GPU rendering is also available on Macs with an AMD graphics card.Īccording to Blender, the new Metal GPU support allows for rendering times that are up to 2 times quicker. If you run into any trouble when following the procedure, contact us at (make sure you attach the product purchase receipt in the message).The addition of a Metal GPU backend, which was contributed by Apple, allows Blender to take advantage of the built-in graphics processing unit in Apple's M1, M1 Pro, M1 Max, and M1 Ultra chipsets. You can immediately start using UVPackmaster features in Blender. At the top of the tab you should see a label reporting that the UVPackmaster engine was automatically detected by the add-on. Go to the N panel of the UV editor – you will find the UVPackmaster3 tab there. Run Blender (or restart if you had it opened). Follow the installer steps in order to install the engine in the system. Confirm that you want to run the installer in a dialog that will appear.
The installer is not signed, so in order to run it you need to right click on the installer file in Finder and choose Open from the menu. Make sure you use the correct engine version – there must be a match between the add-on version and the engine version. The name of the installer follows a pattern: uvpm-engine-pro-macos-x86_64.pkg - it will work on both architectures: Intel x86_64 and Apple M1. After purchasing, download the UVPackmaster engine installer from the marketplace.
Note that the engine is required to use the add-on packing features in Blender. Purchase a license for the UVPackmaster 3 engine at Gumroad or Blender Market (visit the Get UVPackmaster page for details). Install the add-on using the standard procedure for Blender add-ons. After uninstalling, it is strongly recommended to restart Blender once, otherwise an error may occur when installing a new add-on version.ĭownload the latest version of the UVPackmaster add-on for Blender from the Downloads page (the add-on file name starts with uvpackmaster3-addon).
If you are upgrading from an older UVPackmaster version, go to Blender preferences and uninstall the previous version of the UVPackmaster add-on. IMPORTANT: after you install UVPackmaster 3 in Blender, make sure you look for the packer UI in the N-panel of the UV editor - it is NOT located in the 3D viewport:
