Add an option to add suffix to exported objects #32

Closed Shatur closed 1 year ago

It would be convenient to add _low and _high to object names too. Usually used for mesh baking in Substance Painter (meshes matched by names).

Also a great suggestion. I have this feature in my other addon, Scene Organizer, but I can see why it would be useful in the exporting context. I'll pull over the code and throw it in the export menu! Thanks for the ideas.

If I understand correctly, your Scene Organizer addon renames objects in Blender, but it would be great to keep the original names and just rename them only in the exported .fbx files. Since these suffixes are only needed for Substance, it would be nice to keep names in Blender clean.

Its possible you are using an outdated version, I was misunderstanding you. This feature currently exists within the tool. Either from the pop-up menu (Shortcut E) or the side panel, there is a button called Use Suffix. On enabled this will allow you to select custom, _high, or _low as an FBX export suffix. Here is a link to the documentation about this feature.

It adds a suffix for an .fbx file. But I meant to add suffix to exported objects inside this file too. Because Substance Painter need it.

Oh! I see what you're saying, that makes sense now. I didn't think of a use case like that. I'll add this in the next update.

Added new toggle in suffix panel. Allows either "_high", "_low", or custom string to be added to each exported model. #33
