PolyPrep - Blender Addon

This simple addon aims to help organizing and preparing your high and low poly meshes for baking.

It's functions includes:

✍️ Renaming:

default shortcut: CTRL + R

Select both, low and high poly meshes (the order does not matter). Press the shortcut, insert the new name.

It will rename both using the new name and add the suffix found in the addon preferences

🎨 Colorize:

Changes the viewport display color of the objects, to make overlapping meshes easier to see.

Default is on, but can be disabled in the preferences. Colors can also be changed in preferences.

⚠️ Can only be seen if current 3D View is in solid mode using object or attribute

📦 Move/Parent:

After renaming, it will apply one of the 3 settings found in preferences:

• Move to collections
  • Create two collections using the names found in preferences and assign the high and low objects to them.
• Parent high to low
  • Parent the high poly mesh to the low poly mesh.
• Do nothing
  • 🤷‍♀️

👀 Hide/Show counterpart:

default shortcut: CTRL + SHIFT + H

Search for the selected counterpart and disable or enable it's viewport visibility.

Example: If you select Cube_low, it will hide/show Cube_high.

⚠️ It only works with objects that have it's counterpart, and it uses the preferences chosen suffix

All settings can be found in the addon preferences.
