Automating split via script?

Automating split via script?

Hello,

I have a sphere object that is made up of many triangles.

I need to select each triangle and split it out as it's own object.

I then take that triangle and flip the normal. Then I UV unwrap with ABF.

Then I select the next triangle and repeat.

This is extremely tedious.

Is there a way to do this via script?

I have tried to find basic tutorials to create a script but having issues finding any.

Does something like this already exist? At least the splitting part would help.

A guess a wishlist item would be to select all triangles and split them all instead of one by one would be very helpful.

Thanks!

Joe
 
Hi Joe.
Maybe this will help in the meantime.
Generate a stam-looped Icosahedron which will produce a spherical object made from triangles only - flip normals if necessary.
Get Hiroto´s polygon "Explosion.js" script and drag the Icosahedron onto it in the object browser.
Hit "Update"-button and make "editable" - it will disconnect all triangles.
Select every triangle and call "UV Unwrap with ABF/LCSM" in UV editor.
Call the Tool-script: "Polygon UV Editor.js":
Enter at U and V Tiles: 1
Hit "OK"-button at "Apply Tile". All triangles will move to the upper right corner of the UV template.
This of course don´t help with split polygons to separate objects.

Cheers
Frank
