Building from source

• Clone this repository git clone https://github.com/bdancer/blender-for-vray
• Checkout git branch git checkout dev/vray_for_blender/vb35 (from inside of blender-for-vray)
• Get all submodules git submodule update --init --recursive
• Put ZMQ, LibSodium and jpeg in the following structure

  blender-for-vray-libs
  └───<Windows/Linux/Darwin>
      ├───jpeg-turbo
      │   ├───include
      │   └───lib
      │       ├───Debug
      │       └───Release
      ├───sodium (only if ZMQ is build with libsodium support)
      │   └───lib
      │       ├───Debug
      │       └───Release
      └───zmq
          ├───include
          └───lib
              ├───Debug
              └───Release
  

• Alternatively the requiered libraries can be obtained built from the GIT repository
• Assuming Windows and all libs are in C:/dev make a build dir C:/dev/build run the following cmake:

  cmake -G "Visual Studio 15 2017 Win64"         \
      -DWITH_VRAY_FOR_BLENDER=ON                 \
      -DLIBS_ROOT=C:/dev/blender-for-vray-libs   \
      -DLIBDIR=C:/dev/win64_vc14                 \
      C:/dev/blender-for-vray                    \
  

• Open Visual Studion and build the INSTALL project
• Inside the build folder (C:/dev/build/bin/Debug//scripts/addons) run git clone https://github.com/ChaosGroup/vray_for_blender_exporter vb30
• Inside the vb30 folder git submodule update --init --recursive
