Wow Matt,
Thanks for spending time writing the script, I'll test it out together with
the Mapify plugin to see which one could suit my needs
Sorry to ask the same question as before, but based on your Jscript for
Ultimapper I'll just need to replace the function with the Ultimapper
function, add the maps variables ( normals, albedo, depth, AO ) and change
the specified ultimapper property to be "what is called Ultimapper thingy"
at the end of the script
I'll start experimenting with the SDK editor to see if there are some
usefull informations ;)
Thanks again Matt for the script, amazing how you guys could come out with
a solution within few minutes just writing it down! :)
