# BAT (blender asset tracer)

Modified version of [Blender's BAT](https://developer.blender.org/source/blender-asset-tracer/browse/master/blender_asset_tracer/) 

Modifications:

- Additional export **Zip pack - keep hierarchy**   
Standard Bat pack is doing an "assembly", modifying file internal links. This zip pack leave the file untouched.  
Behavior:  
  - The root folder for zipping use the environment variable `ZIP_ROOT` (accessed with `os.getenv('ZIP_ROOT')` if defined).  
  - If there is no such env variable, it fallback to path specified in addon preferences.
  - In the export browser window settings (sidebar), user can choose the packing root folder (prefilled by env or addon preference path)  
  - If nothing specified, root will be automatically defined with the most upper folder covering the whole dependancies hierarchy. 

- Add All Udim texture in pack
