"Modo 2 Unity Lightmapper" available now

Here is a script I created to improve the workflow when working with Modo and Unity. If you create your lightmaps in Modo for use in Unity then this script will save you a lot of time and effort. I hope you enjoy it!

Here is a link to the script where you can download the files.

In the download there is also an demo movie so you can see how it works.

Description:
-It automatically creates a combined 2nd UV set for all objects wishing to share a common lightmap

-It automatically exports the lightmaps into the desired texture folder for your Unity project

-It automatically exports the visible scene geometry to your Unity folder.

-Watch video for proper usage

Installation:
Mac users:
-Copy the 3 scripts from the “Scripts” folder and paste them into the “Scripts” folder at this location:
“/Users/UserName/Library/Application Support/Luxology/Scripts”

-Copy the 3 files from the “Configs” folder and paste them into the “Configs” folder at this location:
“/Users/UserName/Library/Application Support/Luxology/Configs”

PC users:
-Copy the 3 scripts from the “Scripts” folder and paste them into the “Scripts” folder at this location:
\Users\Username\AppData\Roaming\Luxology\Scripts

-Copy the 3 files from the “Configs” folder and paste them into the “Configs” folder at this location:
\Users\Username\AppData\Roaming\Luxology\Configs

Notes:
-Script only works on items that are grouped
-Script ignores all “hidden” groups
-A render output must exist that is called “LM_RO”. That render output effect must be set to “Illumination(Total)”

Let me know if you have any suggestions/improvements.

Will lw objects with two uv sets opened in modo be able to export to unity with this script? I can bug some modo friends to do it for me. Great free script!

 

Yes as long as your objects are organized in groups then they will be exported with the UV sets intact. I have never used the LW importer, but I am assuming it imports multiple UV sets. If it does then it should work. Just curious, does the LW fbx exporter not export 2 UV sets properly for you when you import into Unity?

 

As of right now lw fbx exporter doesn't export the uv sets but the information is there in the object. People are talking about it at newtek forum.
