Showing 3D Blender file preview in XYplorer?

Post by human_robot »

I know that the 3D program Blender create a snapshot of your scene when you close it. I'm wondering if there is a way to see that when using Thumbnail view in XYplorer instead of the blender logo...

I was wondering the same, so this is what I've done to enable it in XYplorer:

• Download the last 32-bit build of blender: https://download.blender.org/release/Bl ... dows32.zip
• Extract BlendThumb.dll and rename it to BlendThumb32.dll
• Place BlendThumb32.dll into your blender directory
• In a command prompt, register the dll from your blender folder:

Code: Select all

regsvr32 "C:\blender\BlendThumb32.dll"
• Not sure if this is needed but I added .blend files to my XYplorer configuration just in case: [Tools > Open Configuration File...]

Code: Select all

ThumbFromIconCustom=.blend
SpecificIconsCustom=.blend
• Restart XYplorer! :party:
