Grease Pencil add-on: unable to download and import texture brush pack (internet connection)

[j90123]

I'm using Blender version 3.6.2 and working from home laptop (MAC) with a stable internet connection

When I enable the Grease Pencil add-on, I'm unable to "Download and Import Texture Brush Pack" due to Internet Connection.

Before, I've successfully downloaded this pack on my laptop and used various brushes like grass and leaves textures. However, it's not working anymore, and I've noticed the same issue on other computers.

Could it be a problem with my Blender version (3.6.2)? I've followed the provided link (https://download.blender.org/demo/bundles/bundles-3.0/grease-pencil-brush-pack.zip), downloaded the zip file, and tried installing it, but there doesn't seem to be any change.

Just wanted to add this information, Grease-pencil Tools add-on is currently version 1.7.9 on Blender 3.6.2 version.

Hi ! It's not related to Blender version, and currently I don't know how to fix the issue. See here for more info: https://projects.blender.org/blender/blender/issues/115336#issuecomment-1071590

I'll leave the issue open and keep updated if there is any news.

Hi! I got the same error and I can fix it by

1. Download the zip file manualy.
2. Unzip it and copy its contents*1 to "C:\Users\user_name\AppData\Local\Temp"*2.
3. Restart blender.

I hope this works!

*1: Both "Official_GP_brush_pack_v1.blend" and "icos" folder. *2: This path will differ according to what environment you are using. To know the path, run the following python code.

import tempfile
tempfile.gettempdir()
