New in Asset Creation Toolset 2024

New GLTF Export for GODOT

"Add UV" has option for generating Smart UV or Lightmap UV

Export FBX now supports Custom Properties

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.
