Problem with pyproj

[MartinGebske]

Hey folks, For our Blender Scene we need a custom projection. And so I downloaded the Blender Map Projection Plugin.

I might be too stupid for this. I'm on Windows and downloaded the pyproj files from the link in the error message. Now the question is what should I do with it? Put it in some folder? I've got three folders:

info, Lib, Scripts

scripts contains an exe file which appearently do nothing.

I have QGis installed, also executed the OSGeo4 Setup (with obvious no impact)... Could you please give me a small hint what to do next?

Thanks in advance!

Hi, Hi what version of blender are you running? I will try and see if I have time to update this repo. In the meantime you can download this repository. Unzip the zip file, place the downloaded files in the dependencies/binaries folder. Try to make sure its the same structure as the others. Then rezip and try to install in blender again.

I think that should work!

[MartinGebske]

Wow! Thanks for the instant reply :) I'm using Blender 2.93 ... I tried to follow your instructions but maybe I'm missing something or it doesn't work. I think the issue is sitting in front of the screen here ;)

Hi @MartinGebske

Please follow the installation instructions: https://github.com/JeremyBYU/bpyproj#install-procedure

[MartinGebske]

I did so. I've got the following in the System Console: ERROR:dependencies:Pyproj package is not currently available for you system ERROR:dependencies:Can be downloaded manually from this url: https://anaconda.org/conda-forge/pyproj/files After downloading them I (think) did like, Jeremy told me. But always ended up with the same Error message... :/

The latest versions of Blender use higher versions of Python. We need to add the libraries for those versions of Python in the bpyproj addon. This will be done till the end of this week.

@JeremyBYU

I tried to copy the content of the file https://anaconda.org/conda-forge/pyproj/3.3.0/download/win-64/pyproj-3.3.0-py310h62b90f0_2.tar.bz2 for Blender 3.1 on Windows to the folder _bpyproj/dependencies/binaries/windows_64310/.

I got the error Error: DLL load failed while importing _network: The specified module could not be found.

Could you please take a look?

[vvoovv]

I've localized the problem for Blender 3.1 on Windows:

import pyproj

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<blender_console>", line 1, in <module>
  File "C:\Users\vvoovv\AppData\Roaming\Blender Foundation\Blender\3.1\scripts\addons\bpyproj\dependencies\binaries\windows_64_310\site-packages\pyproj\__init__.py", line 49, in <module>
    import pyproj.network

A solution to the same problem was posted in the pyproj repository:

My issue get resolved using Microsoft Visual C++ Redistributable for Visual Studio 2015, 2017, and 2019.

It looks quite complicated now.

[vvoovv]

A walkaround would be to use an earlier version of Python (2.8x).

[JeremyBYU]

Yeah that does look like a big can of worms!

[vvoovv]

A walkaround would be to use an earlier version of Python (2.8x).

I meant an earlier version of Blender (2.8x). But that also means an earlier version of Python (3.7 instead of 3.9 or 3,10)

[MartinGebske]

Ok, I gave it a try with Blender 2.80 and just for safety installed Python 3.70 I managed to enable BLOSM and BPYPROJ Addons. But I can't see where I could change the Proj4 Params? The Settings Section in the OSM Panel hasn't changed so far... (not like in the screenshots). But I don't get any errors so far... yeeey. :D

[vvoovv]

Is bpyproj really installed?

[MartinGebske]

I think this looks ok so far...

[vvoovv]

Are there any error messages related to bpyproj or blender-osm in the Blender's System Console?

[MartinGebske]

Nope.

That's in the Blender System Console... Read prefs: C:\Users\z0154113\AppData\Roaming\Blender Foundation\Blender\2.80\config\userpref.blend found bundled python: C:\Program Files\Blender Foundation\Blender\2.80\python

That's in the Console PYTHON INTERACTIVE CONSOLE 3.7.0 (default, Aug 26 2018, 16:05:01) [MSC v.1900 64 bit (AMD64)]

[vvoovv]

Here is what I did:

• Installed Blender's build 2.83.20 from here
• Install bpyproj 1.0.4 from here.

The bpyproj panel is there:

[MartinGebske]

Hey, thanks a lot. I tried the versions and it works. I have other issues, but I'm creating a new one for this x) This issue here can be considered as closed :) Thanks for your support!
