Pattern Collections：Blender 插件

Pattern-Based Collections for Blender

Categorising selections of objects within scenes is crucial for various digital content workflows. Blender gives us access to the Collection type through its Python API but lacks in tools (code and non-code) for grouping objects by common properties and metadata. This extension draws inspiration from Pattern-Based Collections for OpenUSD and is built on top of existing standards like RegEx and the JSON format to enable configuration and layering of precise sorting rules for collections in Blender.

Some use cases

• Keep your blend-files tidy as an artist
• Divide thousands of objects into bake/export collections
• Configure model/scene variations from metadata
