New Member MG Degenhardt Posted July 15, 2020 New Member Report Share Posted July 15, 2020 Hi everyone! I've created a lot of pieces to be used in a large project, using a 3D software, and now I'm importing one by one, painting every piece and re-exporting. I guess there's no problems in this work flow, but I'm wondering if there is a way to automate some tasks. Let me explain: I have 4 types of doors, and each type would have 5 types of different materials, so if my math is not wrong I will do the same operations 20 times. No problems! But if I could save, let say a way to quickly apply the smart materials to the second, third and fourth types, after had applied to the first one. I'm think in a template, in the way, I import the mesh, bake or re-bake the ao and curvature maps (if need), then I select the template and all the job is done "semi-automatically" only clicking in one button. This way all the seconds, thirds and so on material options are the same, as expected, and no need for all the adjusts again! Ahh: I've already created all the smart-material needed for the projects. Now you have the general idea I may ask: is there a way to do it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carlosan Posted July 16, 2020 Report Share Posted July 16, 2020 Hello Could be done using scripts. For that you should contact users with more scripting experience, such as @kritskiy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Member kritskiy Posted July 16, 2020 Member Report Share Posted July 16, 2020 I didn't touch smart materials and all that but for the moment this sounds like something doable. with a simple script. could you please write step by step what you're trying to achieve? Like command1, command2, etc: it's always difficult to understand someone else's workflow :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
