This is way more info than you wanted, but it's a simplified version of my setup script. (I didn't actually test it after I simplified it.) Basically, I like to have all the artists manually run the setup script. (It's more of a setup wizard.) The setup script points all user folders to perforce. Then whenever they get…
okay since its still taking some time to finish and polish this one, here is a preview download of TexTools 3.0 TexTools_3.00_preview.mzp No macroscripts!! The main thing that is missing are the macroscripts so with this build you can't bind any commands to the toolbar or keyboard shortcuts. If you get any errors while…

I would be willing to pay towards a fund for a robust FBX import/export. *edit* Hmm, seems there is a licensing issue in the FBX SDK that isn't compatible with GPL :/…
