:warning: Under development, use it at your own risks. Currently tested on Windows platform. :warning:
This tool aims to allow multiple users to work on the same scene over the network. Based on a Clients / Server architecture, the data-oriented replication schema replicate blender data-blocks across the wire.
## Quick installation
1. Download [latest build](https://gitlab.com/slumber/multi-user/-/jobs/artifacts/develop/download?job=build) or [stable build](https://gitlab.com/slumber/multi-user/-/jobs/artifacts/master/download?job=build).
2. Install last_version.zip from your addon preferences.
[Dependencies](#dependencies) will be automatically added to your blender python during installation.
## Usage
See the [documentation](https://slumber.gitlab.io/multi-user/index.html) for details.
## Troubleshooting
See the [troubleshooting guide](https://slumber.gitlab.io/multi-user/getting_started/troubleshooting.html) for tips on the most common issues.
## Current development status
Currently, not all data-block are supported for replication over the wire. The following list summarizes the status for each ones.

I'm working on it.
