Before you start

Before you install the Shipwright zip file into Blender, you’ll need to install both the Plating Generator and Shape Generator add-ons.

You can do this by installing their latest Blender add-on zip files via the Add-Ons tab under the Edit -> Preferences menu in Blender 2.93 or above:

• Plating Generator: plating_generator_greebles.zip

• Shape Generator: shape_generator.zip
