Improve documentation on how to use blender plugin? #102

Open supagu opened 6 years ago

supagu commented 6 years ago

I've just downloaded and managed to get installed in blender by zipping the the "coa_tools" directory and importing into blender (not the "coa_folder" as mentioned in the readme).

Then I have opened the sample blend file and there is no export option. I found I needed to enabled exporting in the user preferences, which is a bit odd to have no mechanism to export by default? At least can you put some instructions on how to do this for other users?

Now finally, I am stuck. I hit the "export dragonbones" button and it says "Export Path does not exists. Set a valid Export Path." I can't seem to find this anywhere? Can someone help me here?

Doing some reverse engineering I found the Dragonbones Export Panel is under the Render tab. You need to setup a Project Name and Export Path to be able to use the Export Dragonbones button

Ok just found it, thx !

I'm new to Blender, so at first I didn't understood you were talking about the "properties" tab, and the first panel, "render".

Also, it requires to enable DragonBones export in plugin settings.
