About This File
Blender Version: 4.1
Idea behind it:
I used to do Frankenstein Modelling for hours each day and I was thinking about simplifying these steps. How do I make it less time consuming to parent everything and set names, create .skin files and so on. That's when I got into Python coding and learned how to use the Blender API thanks to @Milamber.
He has been my inspiration source for years.
I want to keep updating the code so it looks more neat and make it an All in One addon for modelling in general.
Features (Everything will be parented according to the proper hierarchy (naming convention advised)):
- Parent Body Parts -> Parent every object that's not a cap or tag
- Parent Caps -> Every cap will be parented
- Parent Tags -> Every tag will be parented
- Folder Browser for the Create Skin function
- Set Ghoul 2 Properties -> Every object will be given a g2_prop if not present. Use this function before pressing Create model_default.skin
- Create model_default.skin -> creates a model_default.skin file at the selected folder path
- Parent Vehicle Parts -> Every object, cap and tag will be parented
- Remove Parents -> Removes parents from all objects
- Clean duplicates in hierarchy -> Every duplicate object with .00 in its name will be deleted
- It also has a .blend file with skeleton_root and all the default Tags (all LOD levels).
The new remove parents and vehicle parts functions described above are inspired by @mjt
ALWAYS CHECK GITHUB FOR THE LATEST CHANGES AND FOR THE README FILE, THIS WILL BE UPDATED ALONG THE ADDON

What's New in Version 2.1
Released
Improved parenting system.
Throws messages when using Character functions when having a vehicle skeleton_root in the scene and other way around too.
Supports anything as long you use the body part in the name at first place. head_mask_whatever_0 will be parented onto head_0 for example.
Now supports stupidtriangle and stupidtriangle_off too which it didn't before.
Gave the addon a different layout.
The code looks messy at the BodyParts function, but as soon as I learn to code better in Python.. I might try to go for a shorter code.
