Two useful Blender scripts for those ilegal characters users

[Curious guy]

Hi: Since I'm a Spanish user I use ñ, á,é,í,ó,ú and spaces quite a lot. I'm getting some errors with octane that Im unsure if they are related to characters or someting else.
So the solution is to change the materials and images names, but for +200 materials It's a tedious and inefficient task. So a script is better, even If I fail several times trying to get it work .

Procedure:
- Copy the script and paste it into your blender text editor
- Fill in variables the characters you want to replace (can be a combination of characters too).
- Hit Alt + p
- (This applies to the texture script) Change the names of your images in your HDD using other batch renaming program. (like Filetools or File Comander)

Here is the material script:

Code: Select all

# Material name changer, useful in case sensitive programs
# Made by CGgap in blendeartist, Curious Guy in Octane forums
#Known issues: 
#				- Takes all scene materials (not only the ones from selected objects)

############## Variables #####################
# Tipe the character you want to change (Between the quotemarks)
old = " "
# Tipe the character that will replace the old one (Between the quotemarks)
new = "_"
##############################################

import Blender
from Blender import Material

print "--------------------------------------"
Mat = Material.Get()
leM = len(Mat)
for Cma in range( 0, leM, 1 ):
	Smat = Mat[Cma]
	MatName = Smat.getName()
	NewMat = MatName.replace(old,new)
	Smat.setName(NewMat)
	print "Changed " +MatName+ " -> " + NewMat + "   ...Or didn't?"

And the texture script:

Code: Select all

# Image texture name changer, useful in case sensitive programs
# Made by CGgap in blendeartist, Curious Guy in Octane forums
#Known issues: 
#				- Your blender image name must be equal to your HDD image name
#				- Mess with your images names (resets them)
#				- Takes all scene images textures (not only the ones from selected objects)

import Blender
from Blender import Texture,Image,Material

print "--------------------------------------"
Mat = Material.Get()
leM = len(Mat)
for Cma in range( 0, leM, 1 ):
	Smat = Mat[Cma]
	Ltex = Smat.getTextures()
	ET = Smat.enabledTextures
	for Ntex in ET:
		Tsel = Ltex[Ntex]
		if Tsel.tex.type == Texture.Types.IMAGE:
			Img = Tsel.tex.getImage()
			Imgname = Img.getName()
			Imgpath = Img.getFilename()
			Newname = Imgname.replace(old,new)
			Newpath = Imgpath.replace(Imgname,Newname)
			Img.setName(Newname)
			Img.setFilename(Newpath)
			
			print "Changed " +Imgname+ " -> " + Newname + "   ...Or didn't?"

Please note that the image script in order to work properly, the image name in blender must be the same as in the HDD.

Feel free to use and modify.

EDIT: Missed a line in the first code
