4 years ago Materials, and objects as well...
About objects.
As-is:
- we are creating a "collection" for each imported .vox file linking each voxel/cube to it
- collection name = the filename
- object names = "Cube.###" using a sequence number (it is automatically handled by Blender)
- when
join_voxels is True, we could set the name of the single object as the collection itself
It could be (I mean implementing scene-graph i.e. a set of "models"):
- collection name as-is
- use the "model" name read in
nSHPchunk (for example "model name" + "Cube.###", or just "model name" without "Cube") BUT in MagicaVoxels names are not unique (we could add the node-ID read in the chunk) - when joining voxels to single object, we could just use the "model name" in
nSHP(and its node-ID as supposed before)
About materials.
- display the material type in names (emit, metal, glass...)?
- "link" material name to object ones?
All materials are imported with uninspiring names.
This issue is to discuss how we could approach this, giving unique, meaningful names to imported materials.
