GM_Utility_Tools | Blender 4.2+ Addon for Gamedev Asset Creation

This Addon is currently a WIP, published early mainly to get some feedback. In the future, I will be adding more tools and functionalities. Bug reports and tool suggestions are always welcome :)

A collection of tools I'm developing to enhance and accelerate the game asset creation pipeline, mainly focused on props and environment work.

It's being developed in blender 4.4 version, but should be usable on previous builds (tested on 4.2 and it's working, older than that version could lead to some tools not working)

CURRENT TOOLS:

1.MODELING

Quick pivot to selection: Change the pivot position to the selection. Works both on object and edit mode (But it's mainly intended to be used on edit mode, were it's more useful)

Quick lattice: Adds a lattice to the selection. Works in both object and edit mode(adds a vertex group). The lattice modifier always appears first on the modifier stack, and every following lattice added using the addon appears next to the last lattice.

2.MATERIALS

Random vertex color: Applies a random vertex color for every mesh selected, useful to set up ID maps for baking.

3.EXPORT

Export selected meshes as single files: Export tool, intended to export numerous environment modules or pieces as their own file. Is able to export FBX, OBJ and gLTF files. The selected meshes (Ignores lights, empty objects, cameras...) are exported to the designated folder, using the properties exposed to the user.

Rename Tools: Different tools for quick renaming, like bulk rename, add prefix or suffixes, replace text, or quick match the data block name with the object name.

Last update:
V0.2.0 - 22/07/2025

-Changed development to Blender 4.5LTS (Still should work in 4.2 version)

-New materials section, with a new tool: Add random vertex color to selection.

-Added documentation link

-Export as single files updated: now it’s possible to add prefix/suffix on export, and move the meshes to 0,0,0 position. Also, changed the gltf compression method from gltfpack to draco.
