New in Asset Creation Toolset 2023

New Export Algorithm for Unity (Fix Flip orientation, Linked Objects Support, Animation Support)

Now ACT has two different algorithms for export FBXs to Unity: "Unity" and "Unity (Legacy)".

"Unity" Export Profile

This profile supports Objects with Linked Data, more acurate for rigs, animations, angles and axis. But this export profile requires additional steps with models in Unity. You have to set in model import settings "Scale Factor" to 100 and check in option "Bake Axis Conversion".

For automatization this steps I created Unity Editor Script and you can use this different ways:

Select Models -> RMB -> ACT/Fix Models Transform.
Open ACT Settings Window (Window -> ACT -> Settings) and enable Models Postprocessor. It automatically set import settings for each model (or for models whose names contain the specified string or character).

The Unity editor ACT script is distributed with the ACT Blender add-on.

"Unity (Legacy)" Export Profile

But you can also use previous algorithm: This algorithm doesn't require additional actions in Unity and this Export Profile provide back-compatibility with already existing models.

Added feature "Origin to Middle Point" from @mokalux

New option for Align Origin: Move Origin to middle point between Min and Max Value. Thanks @mokalux for implementation!

Added feature "Collection Name -> Obj Name" from @Oxicid

Transfer Collection Name to Object Name. You can use dirrernt ways for that:

Added Collection name before or after current object name. For example, "CollectionName_ObjectName" or "ObjectName_CollectionName"
Replace Object Name to "Collection Name + Type + Numbering", For example, "CollectionName_Mesh_001" or "CollectionName_MESH_001". Thanks @Oxicid for implementation!

Added Replacing of invalid characters to "_" in export's name ([#%&{}<>*?/'":`|])

Invalid characters will replaced only in file name, not in object names. It very useful if you use special characters for naming.

Added Option "Combine All Meshes" for Export FBX/OBJ by parent/collection

"Combine All Meshes" option works now not only for "All->One FBX" Export.

Added Custom Export FBX Option "Add Leaf Bones". By default "Add Leaf Bones" option is disabled now.

Added Custom Export FBX Option "VC color space". By default VC color space is Linear now.

You can choose between "Linear" and "sRGB" color space for vertex color. I chose linear as default value because vertex color usually used for masking, but not as color information.

Features

Origin Align Tool

Aligment Origin Point to:

Max/Min point of object for X, Y or Z axis
3D Cursor (Separate Axis)
Coordinates (Separate Axis)

Set Origin to Selected (Edit Mode)

Set Origin Point to Selected Element(s)

UV Tools

Batch Renaming UV by Index (example, Lightmap - second uv channel)
Batch Add UV with custom name
Batch Remove UV by Index
Set Active UV Layer for Selected Objects in 3D View and Image/UV Editor by UV Index

Quick Select Texture from Active material in UV Editor

Numbering Objects

Delete Blender's default numbering and add new numbering by Axis and with pattern:

xxx_1, xxx_10, xxx_100
xxx_01, xxx_10, xxx_100
xxx_001, xxx_010, xxx_100

Clear Custom Normals

Clear Custom Normals and set Autosmooth to 180 degrees for Selected Objects.

Flip/Calculate Normals

Flip or Recalculate Normals for Selected Objects in Object Mode.

Export OBJ or FBX to Unity/UE4

Batch Export Selected Objects for Unity or UE4 (Fix Scale and Rotation). Available some modes:

Export All Selected Object into One FBX/OBJ
Export Each Object into Individual FBX/OBJ
Batch Objects by Parent
Batch Objects by Collection

Import FBXs/OBJs

Batch Import FBX and OBJ files with default parameters.

Create Palette Textures (Albedo, Roughness, Metallic, Opacity and Emission)

Create Palette Textures (32x32px) for Selected Objects painted with colored materials. In one palette texture can be up to 256 colors (materials). Note: for Blender 2.79 uses Blender Render, for Blender 2.8 uses Cycles Render

Clear UV Maps/Clear Vertex Color

Just remove all UV Maps or all Vertex Colors from selected objects.

Transfer Material Base Color to Viewport Color for Solid View Mode.

Delete Unused Materials

Delete from selected objects unused materials (not applyed to faces) and unused material slots.

Add .L or .R suffix to Bones

Quick add suffix .L or .R to Selected Bones.

Merge Bones Tool

Tool For Easy Simplifying Armature: Delete (or Dissolve) Selected Bones (Exclude Active) and Transfer Vertex Weights to Active Bone.

Active Material -> Selected

Assign active material to selected faces in MultiEdit Mode.
