Hello, i’m new to shotgrid and i have been trying to integrate tk-blender in it. it’s working perfectly fine on windows, but using the same env configs on linux (centOS and Rocky Linux), i can’t get the menu to show, nor the blender icon in the shotgrid desktop app. i’ve tried almost everything…

First of all, you need to make sure to also pip install Pyside2 inside Blender or bundle it in the environment, as mentioned in tk-blender’s github repo readme. Apart from that, you should enable debug logging and see if the logs will tell you where to look. Without logs there is not much to go on…

thank you so much for the fast reply, i have made sure that pyside is installed on every python installed in the machine (globally installed python, Blender’s python and Shotgrid’s python), i have also enabled debug mode, but there’s neither errors or warnings, whether related to tk-blender or anyth…

Have you set the engine to tk-blender in the software entities? What version of blender are you using? Are you pointing it to the right install location? On Windows and Mac it searches the default locations but not sure it does so for Linux or if they are the correct locations.

Hi guys @Diego_Garcia_Huerta I am using Blender 4 but the menu in blender seems to have issues. Is it possible to get the integration working in Blender 4?

So I got the menu up and it’s working but all the add-ons are disabled. Any idea why?

You’d probably want to look at the Blender Log files and the sgtk log files.

Thanks Ricardo. I managed to get it working. PySide2 latest verison cmpatible with Python 3.10 only. I dialled back to that version of Python and it’s good to go.

And only with Blender 4.0. 4.1 seems to have an api change that does… stuff.

PySide2 is not supported in Python 3.11 (Blender 4.1) and later versions and cannot be easily installed using pip. However, it might be possible to use PySide6 instead. This switch would require updating the core, frameworks, and applications to more recent versions than those we are currently using…

Blender 4.1 works fine after updating the Shotgun_menu.py script to support PySide6 and installing the xcb-cursor library (dnf install xcb-util-cursor). This resolved the issue I was experiencing. try: from PySide2 import QtWidgets, QtCore PYSIDE2_IMPORTED = True except ModuleNotFoundError…

I’m also using some fixes/updates that are not a part of the original repositary.
