Manual
Installation
Install the ZIP, enable the addon, find the tab. Then check the P-Drive if you need vanilla loot presets.
Requirements
- Blender 4.2+ (tested through 5.2)
- The current ZIP of CDM P3D Studio 1.0.5
- For vanilla loot: P-Drive mounted (DayZ Tools or Mikero), folder
P:\dz\worlds\<world>\ce\
Install the ZIP
- Open Blender → Edit → Preferences → Get Extensions
- Install from Disk — pick the ZIP, not the unpacked folder
- Enable the addon
- 3D viewport: press N → tab CDM P3D Studio
If Architect or Collider sit next to it and Merge N-Panel with Set is on, everything lives in the shared CDM tab.
Preferences you actually need
| Field | Meaning |
|---|---|
| Merge N-Panel with Set | One tab for Architect, Collider, and P3D Studio. |
| Background UI sync | The panel stays in sync with the Outliner selection. |
| Loot presets | Vanilla mapgroupproto comes from the P-Drive, not the ZIP. The status line shows whether protos were found. |
| Resolution LOD presets | Your JSON presets live in the Blender config under cdm_p3d_studio/, not in the scene. |
