Earns its place in the Blender extensions library as a focused importer for BUILD map files, with a recent 1.4.1 update aimed at stability.
BUILD Map Importer is a Blender add-on from Jens.Ne (jensnt) that imports BUILD map files into Blender. It is distributed through the Blender extensions library, where it currently sits at version 1.4.1.
Installation follows the standard Blender add-on paths: drag and drop the package into Blender, or download it and install from disk. The add-on supports Blender 4.2 LTS and newer. It is released under the GNU General Public License v3.0 or later and is listed here as free.
The 1.4.1 release focuses on stability. It avoids calling the progress indicator update too often, which prevented Blender from crashing in some cases. For the current build, release notes and licensing details, the developer's GitHub releases page is the place to check, where the release and its assets are published.
BUILD Map Importer is best for blender users who need to import BUILD map files into Blender 4.2 LTS or newer.
BUILD Map Importer is completely free to download and use.
BUILD Map Importer supports Blender 4.2 LTS and newer, so it targets current LTS builds and later releases rather than older versions. If you are running a Blender version earlier than 4.2, this add-on lists that as its minimum, so upgrading Blender would be needed before installing it. For the exact version requirements tied to each release, the developer's GitHub releases page is the best reference, since compatibility can shift as new versions ship.
BUILD Map Importer can be added two ways. You can drag and drop the add-on package directly into Blender, or you can download the file and install it from disk through Blender's extension preferences. Both paths use the standard Blender extension install process, so no special setup is described beyond that. If you want the newest package to install, download it from the developer's GitHub releases page, then use whichever of the two methods you prefer.
BUILD Map Importer is listed as free in this catalog and is released under the GNU General Public License v3.0 or later. That license governs how the add-on can be used, modified, and shared. Since licensing terms and distribution can change over time, the developer's GitHub releases page is the place to confirm the current license and download details before you rely on it. No pricing beyond the free listing is stated here.
BUILD Map Importer version 1.4.1 focuses on a stability fix. It avoids calling the progress indicator update too often, which had been causing Blender to crash in some cases. For the full changelog and any assets attached to the release, the developer's GitHub releases page carries the complete notes, since that is where the version is published along with its files.
