Project Manager

595 votes
3rd version of Project Manager gains a lot of new features to manage 3D Assets. 
What is most unique to the new features – is the ability to assign custom previews to materials, associate files with materials, and create a gallery of files associated with any type of assets including materials. 
You can also write a description for materials and, of course,  assign categories to materials.

This script I created allows the user to match a source's material, UVW Maps, and Unwrap UVW(you can choose what you like to apply from those 3), with the possibility of preserving the targets existent similar modifiers or replacing those with the source's ones.
Please whatch the video to see all the features present in the dialog box that opens up, and how to use the script.

Note: This script is a major upgrade for a script I've done before: https://youtu.be/_Cl0L-6iyIs?si=ZoMj4x-qSSykWDmI
