If Setup shows Couldn’t download, check your connection, VPN or firewall and click Try again, or click Download the full installer to get the complete installer instead.

First launch

  1. Sign in with Google or with email and password.
  2. Choose a plan if you don’t have one.
  3. Open Blender. 3D-Agent sets it up on its own, as described below.

How does 3D-Agent set up Blender?

You don’t install anything in Blender yourself. The desktop app installs its agent_3d extension into Blender 4.2 or later and connects to your open scene.

The app also keeps the agent_3d extension up to date. See Connect to Blender.

Uninstall

  • macOS: quit 3D-Agent and drag it from Applications to the Trash.
  • Windows: use Uninstall 3D-Agent in the Start menu, or Settings → Apps.
