How do I report a bug? What about making feature requests?¶
Please refer to the Support page for more information about reporting bugs, making feature requests and getting support.
Could I use this add-on on multiple computers?¶
If it is just you using traffiq, it does not matter how many computers you install the add-on on. However, if traffiq is used by multiple people, please purchase multiple licenses.
Can I become your affiliate?¶
Possibly. Please email marketing@polygoniq.com with all the information you think is important. Do not forget links to your social media, their analytics, etc.
Any chance for a price drop soon?¶
We are running sales, giveaways, and other campaigns pretty often. Follow us on social media to be informed about the upcoming sales as soon as possible.
Is there a student discount available for traffiq?¶
Please send an email to our marketing department with some kind of student verification - student ID card, letter of acceptance, etc. You can also send us a contact (email address) to your school official.
I would like to get a refund, whom should I contact?¶
Before asking for a refund make sure to visit our Discord server, or leave us a message on either of the marketplaces and explain why you want to get a refund. In most cases we can help you with the problem you are having.
Getting the actual refund depends on the marketplace that you used for the purchase.
BlenderMarket¶
Please contact BlenderMarket support after reaching out to us. We are not able to do a refund on BlenderMarket ourselves.
Gumroad¶
We are able to do refunds on Gumroad ourselves, so contacting us on our Discord server is enough.
Is my hardware enough to run traffiq?¶
Keep in mind that Blender is not a real-time application! If you find your viewport lagging remember that you can always hide assets (or entire collections) in viewport, display them as bounds, etc.
More tips and tricks can be found under Optimization.
Can traffiq be installed on macOS 10?¶
Yes, traffiq can be installed to and works on macOS 10. For more information see the Installation part of this documentation.
Is it okay to include traffiq assets in .blends which I send to my clients?¶
Sorry, but that is a violation of the license - you unfortunately cannot use traffiq in this way. The license grants you rights to distribute any renders, animations or other products but not to redistribute the assets themselves.
In some cases it may make sense for the client to buy their own traffiq license. Then it is possible to send the assets as your client will have license rights for them.
Are there low poly versions of the assets?¶
Not at the moment, but what you can do is display particles as bounds to increase performance. You could also use the 'decimate' modifier on the assets.
How do I change the shaders?¶
Convert the assets to editable and then edit the shader using the Shader Editor.
What is the difference between the lite and the full version of traffiq?¶
The only difference between the two versions is that the lite version contains only 33% of the assets. That is it. All of the features are included in both versions of traffiq.
Does traffiq work with Octane renderer?¶
traffiq does not support Octane by default at the current moment. Some of our users converted the materials for this use. You can contact them on our Discord server, or convert the materials.
What assets are included in the lite version of traffiq?¶
Check out the latest asset list thats on our BlenderMarket product page.
Can traffiq assets be used in commercial renders?¶
We do not own a licence for any brand names, but generic assets, such as street elements are royalty free. Please see the addon license for further details.
How to upgrade from traffiq lite to traffiq full?¶
Log in a BlenderMarket account that owns traffiq lite. Add traffiq full to your cart. The price difference between the two versions will be deducted automatically.
Upgrading on Gumroad
Upgrading on Gumroad is not possibile at the current moment. Contact us on Discord server for a way to upgrade.
