Create Model Function

[Andy90]

I like the function that allows you to collapse objects from the model into a single entity. It would be a great feature within the ultra engine to save a parent  with its children as a single model, enabling you to collapse, for example, 10 entities into one. Like the "Create Prefab" function.

In Ultra, the Model:Collapse method will do this:

I mean within the editor. So you select a node and have a context menu entry. Like the "Create Prefab" function in Leadwerks.

In Leadwerks,. there is a collapse tool in the model editor.

[Andy90]

Yes I know and I find this tool great. I mean the create model function a little differently. Let's say we have a house. In this house we add other entities like a table, sofa etc and set the house as parent for these entities and the function should now make a model out of this collection. With the house and its content.

You know how to create a prefab in Leadwerks, right? Right-click on the object in the scene tree and select the "Save as prefab" menu item...

[Andy90]

Yes sure  but is it possible to collapse the prefab to one entity ?

 

[Josh]

I don't understand why you would want to combine two different operations like that?

[Andy90]

nono i dont want collapse a prefabs this is the point. Im bad in explaining  its more to create a simple model from a collection.
