DAE importer bones question
« on: October 23, 2014, 03:30:16 pm »
  Hey AngryPig ! Could you add an option in the DAE/COLLADA importer to instantly sellect all meshes as bones ? As i broathening the versions of the Ural i have to hide a ton off stuff for all of the vehicle variations and use a lot of stuff in animation, witch makes the number of bone-less meshes, i dont need, just a few. Its sometimes a pain to select all i need to use somehow in the script, when the number of meshes in my model starts to reach far beyond 100 pieces. If its not as much work, i would greatly appreciate it, cause ...



 ... i think i will end up like that if all the stuff i want to add to the model is made and i have to select them all manually.

Why not simply rename the pieces/objects you want to use within the script, adding the prefix "BONE_"?
e.g. "swheel" will become "BONE_swheel"

This way you won't have to change anything when reimporting...

Well its maybe 35 of 280 that doesnt need the bone feature ... well, maybe the stuff that needs to be just hidden doesnt need it too. Still, it would be easier pick the not needed than the ones needed for the script in those numbers.  ;D Also, i still plan broadening the model whyte about 2/3 atop of the current number of meshes ...
