Watch this space. Right now I have utilities for: 1) Gathering and reporting OBJect info 2) Removing groups and replacing them with group_material materials 3) Replacing groups from group_material formatted materials (the two above are useful for dealing with modellers that don't support groups, like Max and such, and may aid in the creation of FBMs) 4) Extracting a specific group from an OBJ (keeps vertices inthe group in order as it only discards those form other groups and maintains the order of vertices used in the group) 5) Extracting a specific material from an OBJ (obviously doesn't keep vertices in proper order as it discards some of them within each group unless the OBJ is already only one material, which is useless) Planned utility scripts: 1) FBM Multi-Morph target generator 2) targetGeom delta generator 3) FBM multi-targetGeom and valueParm delta generator 4) Embedded geometry extractor (returns new CR2 and new OBJect(s)) 5) MT non-vertex data stripper 6) Normal stripper 7) Multi-OBJect (re)combiner Projected utility scripts: 1) CR2 Uniquificator (
