Blender Asked by EatCodePlaySleep on September 29, 2021
I’m still new with python and scripting. I tried editing the obj exporter that I found. Since I’m exporting tons of object groups, I need each of scene collection or selected objects to be exported as an individual gtlf file:
import bpy
import os
# get the path where the blend file is located
basedir = bpy.path.abspath('//')
# deselect all objects
# bpy.ops.object.select_all(action='DESELECT')
# loop through all the objects in the scene
scene = bpy.context.scene
for ob in scene.objects:
# make the current object active and select it
scene.objects.active = ob
ob.select = True
# make sure that we only export meshes
if ob.type == 'MESH':
# export the currently selected object to its own file based on its name
bpy.ops.export_scene.gltf(
filepath=os.path.join(basedir+'gltf-individual', ob.name + '.gltf'),
use_selection=True,
)
# deselect the object and move on to another if any more are left
ob.select = False
Q: Can someone help me with this?
You can temporarily .unlink()
all collections from the root level, then (re-)link()
one by one to the scene level in order to export them and link them all back at the end of the script.
Tested this approach for a huge scene using the alembic export operator and it was pretty fast, surprisingly. For convenience I added a col_level
integer to determine how many (sub-)levels of collections are going to be exported to gtlf
or glb
files:
import bpy
col_levels = 2 # Levels to export
scn_col = bpy.context.scene.collection # Root collection
def file_name(s):
'''Return valid file name from string'''
return "".join(x for x in s if x.isalnum())
def col_hierarchy(root_col, levels=1):
'''Read hierarchy of the collections in the scene'''
level_lookup = {}
def recurse(root_col, parent, depth):
if depth > levels:
return
if isinstance(parent, bpy.types.Collection):
level_lookup.setdefault(parent, []).append(root_col)
for child in root_col.children:
recurse(child, root_col, depth + 1)
recurse(root_col, root_col.children, 0)
return level_lookup
# Root objects (in case)
scn_obj = [o for o in scn_col.objects]
# Lookups (Collections per level and Parents)
lkp_col = col_hierarchy(scn_col, levels=col_levels)
prt_col = {i : k for k, v in lkp_col.items() for i in v}
# All collections to export
candidates = [x for v in lkp_col.values() for x in v]
# (1) Unlink all Collections
for c in candidates:
prt_col.get(c).children.unlink(c)
# (2) Export root objects (optional)
if scn_obj:
bpy.ops.export_scene.gltf(
filepath="/tmp/{}.glb".format(file_name(scn_col.name))
)
# Unlink objects of master collection
for o in scn_obj: scn_col.objects.unlink(o)
# (3) (Re-)link collections of choice to root level and export
for c in candidates:
# (Re-)link collection
scn_col.children.link(c)
# Export collection
bpy.ops.export_scene.gltf(
filepath="/tmp/{}.glb".format(file_name(c.name))
)
# Unlink collection
scn_col.children.unlink(c)
# (4) Reset all back
for o in scn_obj: scn_col.objects.link(o)
for c in candidates: prt_col.get(c).children.link(c)
Note: The script is an initial proof of concept.
The core idea can be converted into an add-on using the famous ExportHelper class. Have a look into Templates > Python > Operator File Export in the Text Editor. Following add-on adds a new entry to the File > Export menu. The operator comes with the most important export settings as well as a level integer to export Collections to single gltf/glb
