Ahh you could try the same steps. It was a pita to get it to work on Windows too

5 - copy those files to your blender applink folder. The one in user/appdata/etc. The one you deleted the files from .

6 - restart blender, enable the addon and profit.

And I hope this works for you, cuz I feel the frustration. Been there 🙂

3 - go to the applink addon folder in the blender preferences folder. Its somewhere in your user/appdata path. Dont delete the applink addon folder, but delete all the stuff inside it.

4 - in you 3dcoat install folders (I think its in program files) there’s a blender applink folder.

Ive got the recent blender and coat versions, and the app link works fine.
1 - delete all 3dcoat applink stuff first. The addon and the share folders in the documents folder. (assuming you’re using windows)

2 - download en install the applink from 3dcoat dev GitHub.
