Save Selected With Maps

Version: 
1.7.4
Date Updated: 
03/20/2024

It will save your selected objects to a chosen folder and collect/relink all selected objects bitmaps to that same folder, even if the bitmaps are just flagged "found" in the asset tracker.

If path are missing or unsolved those maps will keep their missing or unsolved path, it will be easier to try to find them.

It is compatible with Vray bitmaps, Corona bitmaps and IES files in Standard, Photometric, Vray and Corona Lights.

It has an option for resetting material editors before saving, it is usefull to reduce filesize and avoid unlinked bitmaps in the destination files, because it relinks only selected objects bitmap , maps in the material editor might be flagged "missing" in the destination file (even if their path were flagged "found" in the original file). It will make cleaner files but if you need to keep your material editor untouch just unchek the option.

update 1.3 : vraydisplacement and coronadisplacement modifiers are now supported, the output name is now based on the selected objects name, in case of multiple selection it will use the first selected object name. i also fixed a few bugs

update 1.4 : introduce an option for file naming, you can either enter the name yourself or use auto file name, it will behave as before and inherit name from object selection.

update 1.5 : you can now specify a name for your file , without having to browse twice.

update 1.6 : bug correction

update 1.7 : bug correction, the script was crashing if vray or corona wasn't installed, i 've also added an option to clear render output and render elements.

update 1.7.1 : bug correction, the script was crashing when corona lights where part of the selection.

update 1.7.2 : now compatible with Corona and Vray proxies. i also did some code optimization, it could be even more optimized, i'll try to find some time to improve it further more in next update....

You are welcome

Glad you like the script
You can download the new update it has your request included ;)

by default you have to uncheck the option to behave as desired, you can edit the script in notepad and remove " checked:true " or replace by " checked:false" in the line checkbox autoname "auto file name" at the begining of the script. It will then be unchecked by default.
