Set up the Blender Live Link

The classic round trip — export maps, switch apps, re-import, re-wire the shader — is fine once, but painful when you're iterating on a look. The Live Link removes it: Mixos keeps a direct connection to a small plugin running inside Blender and pushes your baked PBR maps across whenever the material changes, wiring the Principled BSDF (with the normal map routed through a Normal Map node and height into displacement) automatically.

The connection stays on your machine: the plugin listens only on your computer's local loopback address, and your textures travel straight from the Mixos app to Blender without touching the network.

Built-in preview shapes come across with the exact UVs the maps were painted on, and a model you sent from Blender keeps its identity — every sync updates the same object instead of piling up duplicates.

The same Live Link speaks to Cinema 4D and Unreal Engine. In Cinema 4D, a Redshift Standard material assembles itself as you paint — the desktop app can install that plugin with one click as well, and there's a one-file installer that runs from C4D's Script Manager if you prefer to do it by hand.

For Unreal, drop the plugin into your project's Plugins folder (a README with the steps is inside the download) and sends import your textures under /Game with a wired material graph — normal maps arrive in Unreal's DirectX convention, and a packed ORM texture is included.
