Collision Creator Blender Addon

The Collision Creator addon for Blender allows you to quickly create collision blocks or convex hulls based on a selected area in the active mesh. It is particularly useful for generating collision geometry for exporting to game engines such as Unreal Engine (UCX_), Unity, Source Engine and other.

Features

• Create simple Box or Convex Hull collision blocks.
• Automatically adjust block names using the active object's name or a custom name:

- Easily offset and rotate created collision blocks. - Option to automatically select the created collision block after creation.

Installation

1. Download the addon as a .zip file.
2. In Blender, go to Edit > Preferences > Add-ons and click Install.
3. Select the downloaded .zip file and enable the addon.

How to Use

1. Select an Area:

   • In Edit Mode: Select specific vertices or areas of the active mesh for which you want to create collision blocks.
   • In Object Mode: Select the entire object to create a collision block for the entire mesh.

2. Open the Collision Block Panel:

   • Open the sidebar (N key) in the 3D view and navigate to the Collision Creator tab.

3. Configure Properties:

   • Set the Prefix for naming or use a Custom Name.
   • Choose the method:
     • Convex Hull: Create a block based on a convex hull around the selected area.
     • Box: Create a simple box that fully covers the selected area.
   • Adjust optional settings like Offset, Rotation, and Auto Focus.

4. Create Block:

   • Click the Create Block button to generate the collision block.
   • If Auto Focus is enabled, the created block will be automatically selected.

5. Refresh Names (Optional):

   • If using the active mesh name for generated blocks, you can use the Refresh Names button to rename all created blocks according to the current naming scheme.

Properties

• Method: Choose between creating a Box or Convex Hull based on the selected area.
• Prefix: Set a prefix for naming blocks using the active object's name (ex. UCX_).
• Custom Name: Use a custom name for the created block.
• Offset: Apply an offset to the block along the X, Y, and Z axes.
• Rotation: Set the block's rotation along the X, Y, and Z axes in radians.
• Auto Focus: Automatically select the created block after it's generated.
