Use add-on within a script

[nwhite89]

Hi;

I was wondering if it is possible to use the add-on in a programmatic form using the scripting. Basically what I'm hoping to do is run the import character and rigify over 10,000 different fbx files. Obviously this as a manual task is erm a no go 😂 . I looked at the documentation and couldn't see anything (apologies if I simply looked in the wrong place). But was hoping someone might be able to help me here.

Thanks in advance

# import character fbx
bpy.ops.cc3.importer(param="IMPORT", filepath=fbx_file)

# select character rig
props = bpy.context.scene.CC3ImportProps
avatar = props.get_first_avatar()
avatar.select()

# Rigify
bpy.ops.cc3.rigifier(param="ALL")

# Delete character and clean up
bpy.ops.cc3.importer(param="DELETE_CHARACTER")
while bpy.data.objects:
    bpy.data.objects.remove(bpy.data.objects[0])
while bpy.data.meshes:
    bpy.data.meshes.remove(bpy.data.meshes[0])
for c in bpy.data.collections:
    if c.name.startswith("WGTS_"):
        bpy.data.collections.remove(c)

Amazing thank you @soupday 👏

If they were CC3+ characters a batch import > rigify > save script would look like:

import bpy
import os

prefs = bpy.context.preferences.addons['cc_blender_tools'].preferences
props = bpy.context.scene.CC3ImportProps

# rigify on import (CC3+ only)
props.rigify_mode = True

# full face rig - True or basic face rig - False
prefs.rigify_build_face_rig = False

# physics?
props.physics_mode = False

# allow wrinkle maps
props.wrinkle_mode = True

# "BASIC" or "ADVANCED" materials?
props.setup_mode = "ADVANCED"

# "EEVEE" or "CYCLES"
prefs.render_target = "EEVEE"

# "SSR" (refractive) or "PARALLAX" (fake refraction) eyes
prefs.refractive_eyes = "SSR"

# "ALL" the spam or just the "ERRORS"
prefs.log_level = "ALL" 

# The Blender UI will lock up for the duration of the script 
# but you can watch what's happening in the system console

fbx_list = [
        "F:\\Imports\\Kevin.fbx",
        "F:\\Imports\\Camila.fbx",
        "F:\\Imports\\Something.fbx",
    ]

for fbx_file in fbx_list:
    
    folder, file = os.path.split(fbx_file)
    name, ext = os.path.splitext(file)
    blend_file = os.path.join(folder, name + ".blend")
    
    print(f"Processing {name}")    
    
    # import character
    print(f" - Importing {fbx_file}")
    bpy.ops.cc3.importer(param="IMPORT", filepath=fbx_file)

    # save blend file
    print(f" - Saving {blend_file}")
    bpy.ops.wm.save_as_mainfile(filepath=blend_file)

    # delete character
    print(f" - Deleting {name}")
    bpy.ops.cc3.importer(param="DELETE_CHARACTER")

    # delete the widgets left behind by rigify
    print(f" - Cleaning Up")
    while bpy.data.objects:
        bpy.data.objects.remove(bpy.data.objects[0])
    while bpy.data.meshes:
        bpy.data.meshes.remove(bpy.data.meshes[0])
    for c in bpy.data.collections:
