Batex - Batch Export as FBX

Version: 0.7.0
Author: jayanam, Rodrigo Camacho (forked from jayanam)

Description

Batex is a Blender add-on that allows for batch exporting selected objects as FBX files. The add-on is particularly useful for exporting multiple objects with specific configurations like centered transforms, applied transforms, smoothing options, and more.

Features

• Export multiple selected objects as FBX.
• Option to center the transform before exporting.
• Apply transforms like scale and rotation (Experimental).
• Support for different smoothing options (Edge, Face, Normals Only).
• Export rig and animations along with the objects.
• Option to export just one material per object.

Recent Modifications

Version 0.7.0

• Added support for exporting empty objects with children:

  • Empty objects are now included in the export process, preserving the parent-child relationship when re-importing the FBX files.
  • This ensures that the hierarchy is maintained, even if the parent object is an empty object.

• Improved error handling for objects without materials:

  • The export process now checks if an object has mesh data before attempting to access its materials, preventing errors when processing empty objects or other non-mesh types.
