@ERetournard Hey, my guess is you probably did not use the latest build tool (version 1.0.0). This was updated only a week or 2 ago. Best way to update is just to re-copy the template repo from here: This tutorial explains how to do this: After doing this, and if you still get errors, please screenshot and post the error message here so I can help you trouble shoot. |

Hello, thank you for your response. I agree with you, when I did the builds
didn’t work because I needed the new one which I downloaded to redo
everything and the token wouldn’t give me one, I did like last time by
going to your doc and requesting one but no dice so where from here?

@ERetournard I am not sure what part you are stuck on. If you are hitting an error, can you please attach a screenshot of the error? Clicking this while logged into Github should create the token with the correct permissions: If clicking that doesn't work, then be sure to delete the existing access token called |

Oh ok because I have followed and set the GH_PAT twice and the newest one
is still up. Settings-secrets-agent-new-named GH_PAT with new token pasted
in it, I deleted everything of the old and still getting that error. I
reinstalled blender 4.5 and got the old one installed from my download. I
followed the instructions from the video and see no other way to set the
secret to this file

@ERetournard no problem. If you have any errors open the blender console and post them and we should be able to get to the root issue. If you are getting an error like this: This happens when the addon.zip you installed does not have the bindings(sometimes people download the public one instead of the one they just built.) Otherwise, it is a reload issue with Blender. To fix uninstall all old versions of the addon, restart blender (this is important), install the built character_dna_0.7.0.zip file downloaded from YOUR repository that appeared after you ran the build process. |

I got Poly Hammer 2 months ago. I followed the tutorials to set it up and it worked great for those few times of testing. I got busy with other things but got back to my computer to try to actually work some with the program and I had to reinstall it but it wouldn't reinstall as it was missing a guide or something. I am not a programmer and the whole github is like a foreign language because it is to me. I did the action, build, run workflow and it failed three times and now I am not sure what to do. any advice or help would be appreciated
