Changelog

• Storage Benchmarking
  Next to the spawn button, you'll find a button with a disk drive icon. This tool lets you see how much space you save using OptiPloy to import a specific object or collection, compared to appending.

  The behavior of this tool should be noted. It requires a blank slate to work, and will delete your progress if done in a .blend file with no filepath. Otherwise, it will automatically save and re-open your working file.

• Tweaked how referenced collections/objects are handled if they are not in view layer

No changelog for this release.

Changelog

Tweaked how indirectly linked objects and collections are handled in the "FAST" importer for increased stability of rigs

Changelog

Tweaked the "FAST" importer to be much more resistant to hierarchy loops.

I know I've done this two times already about the new importer, but I have much more faith in this. The fixes revolved around getting one of @zayjax_'s (<twitter) rigs to work, and I accomplished that. I also sat down in a call with him and had him try this new version, it worked with every single one of his rigs. First-hand witness, I swear. Thank you zayjax!

Changelog

• Re-wrote the importer (again) for zero errors during importing. OptiPloy no longer takes advantage of the bpy.types.ID.override_hierarchy_create function, and instead uses its own functional approach that produces the same result without any of the overrides referencing a hierarchy root.

  Previously, errors would occur when the hierarchy was disrupted through localizing data-blocks, which was necessary. Overrides are now given in a specific order according to how the import is composed.
  ⠀

• Added more functionality to the .blend (and now folder) multi-tool.

Changelog

Fixed a bug with the post-optimizer, involving instanced collections

Changelog

Update donate link, localization

Changelog

Added a multi-tool operator that appears next to the .blend selection drop-down.

Holding CTRL will reload the .blend file as a library, SHIFT will open the .blend file in a new instance, and ALT will re-scan the file in OptiPloy.

Changelog

Implemented feature to spawn to specified scenes through Python. Good for spawning by code.

bpy.ops.spawner.spawner(blend=int, folder=int, collection='MyCol', activate=True, scene='Scene54')

Changelog

Now shows .blend file paths under folders

Changelog

• Adding Assets

  • You can now add "Categories" by holding shift when clicking the "Add Folder" button. For the sake of organization, Categories allow you to group together .blend files despite not being in the same folder.

• Extended Scripting Advantages

  • OptiPloy will now record key modifiers as custom properties on the scene for scripts to take advantage of. The custom properties are aptly named:

    context.scene["key_ctrl"] for Control
    context.scene["key_shift"] for Shift
    context.scene["key_alt"] for Alt

    These custom properties will be deleted after the script execution stage.

• Blender Asset Library Functionality

  • When linking collections or objects through the asset browser, you can post-optimize them with OptiPloy using the global preferences. You can find this Optimize with OptiPloy operator in Object > Optimize with OptiPloy or by right-clicking an ID in the Outliner.

• General

  • Added progress reports for scanning
  • Re-worked porting logic

Changelog

1.1 Changes

Added checks to prevent the localization of bone shapes, unless referenced elsewhere

Changelog

Re-release of OptiPloy, introducing better handling of assets, and more quality of life features
