BAT (blender asset tracer)

Modified version of Blender's BAT

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 description:

  • The root folder for zipping use the environment variable ZIP_ROOT (accessed with os.getenv('ZIP_ROOT') if defined).
  • if ZIP_ROOT is not defined, use PROJECT_ROOT variable.
  • If there is no such env variables, it fallback to path specified in addon preferences.
  • A checkbox allow to avoid the replacement of root properties with env variables.
  • 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
