A Substance 3D Painter script primarily made to reload/ refresh multiple imported mesh maps in fewer clicks. This should help reduce some manual effort and save time when using a separate baking software like Marmoset Toolbag.


Installation:
1. Drop the script file "Reloader_chandra.py" in the plugins folder of painter which should be:

"C:\Users\%USERPROFILE%\Documents\Adobe\Adobe Substance 3D Painter\python\plugins"

If that doesn't work, go to Substance 3D Painter > Python Menu > Plugins Folder. That should take you to plugins directory.

2. Substance 3D Painter > Python Menu > Reload Plugins Folder

3. Substance 3D Painter > Python Menu > Reloader_chandra and you should see a new pop-up window which you can dock.

4. If the window is not visible or you close it, you can reopen it from Window Menu > Views > Reloader

Usage:
1. Have your mesh maps match the name(excluding file extension) of project resources, don't have files with same name and different extension in the directory (could cause werid issues, I haven't looked into that yet)

2. "Browse" to directory

3. "List matches" (important to do everytime you wanna reload otherwise it will break some connections, check PS for more details)

4. "Reload 'em!"

P.S.:

If you Reload without using "list matches", it doesn't reload everything properly. So, to fix that you'll have to reassign every mesh map manually once.

It's gonna take some time depending on the number of maps being reloaded and the complexity of project.

Move the camera in painter to see changes after reloading.

Don't bother with the Test button, it does nothing but print some stuff.

Learnt some basic scripting and wrote this during my mentorship project for Think Tank in shortest possible time so, it's far from perfect but it's functional! Thanks to Joe Crawford (Think Tank Mentor) for teaching me this stuff!

Updates to this script will be published here for no extra cost just like the current version!
