Use P4 DAM with Blender

Log in with your P4 DAM credentials and start managing your assets with Blender. If you don’t know the P4 DAM URL or your log in credentials, contact your P4 DAM administrator.

By default, Blender creates multiple save versions of your files. To stop Blender creating these extra save versions, change the save preferences in Blender. Click Edit > Preferences > Save & Load and change Save Versions to 0.

  1. Open P4 Sync.

  2. Open Blender and click Perforce > P4 DAM to start the add-on.

  3. Enter the P4 DAM URL, your username, and password.

  4. Click Log in.

    The window shows your projects.

    If P4 Sync is not running, a warning is displayed. Open P4 Sync and click Check if Helix Sync is active again to continue.

  5. Select a project to work with.

    The collections in the project are shown.

  6. Select an asset in the collection to work with.

    Blender files (.blend files) open in Blender for editing.

  7. Make any changes to the asset.

  8. Upload your updated files to P4 DAM so other users have access to your changes.

    See Upload or revert changes with Blender for more information.

Click the open arrow in the add-on to open the same project or collection in P4 DAM.
