Manual download and installation of Blender

Below are described the necessary steps for installation. Please follow the consecutive steps:
  1. Download the installation file: https://www.blender.org/download.
  2. Start the installation file.
  3. Accept the license agreement and continue the installation with the default settings.
  4. Wait for the remaining installation progress and confirm its completion
After the successful installation you can render images while in 3D view under the photo tool. Please change the active renderer under “Options -> Settings… -> General settings -> Renderer” to “Blender“.
The rpDesigner might ask you to specify the installation path of Blender. For that navigate to the file “blender.exe” and confirm it. You can access the path settings from the main menu by “Options -> Settings… -> Data folder -> Blender Renderer” too.
