Adds a panel for organizing hundreds of vertex groups with folders, pages, and multi-selection.

Vertex Codex (it rhymes) is a time-saver and interface enhancement for users who need to manage over 200 vertex groups, such as what would be found on a detailed character model.

  • Nondestructive
    Vertex Groups are displayed as “Entries”, allowing them to be shown in many places at once and be freely moved, deleted, or copied without affecting the actual Vertex Groups list.

  • Folders
    Manage Entries with Folders, which can also contain other Folders.

  • Merge / Copy
    A new Entry can be created with the mixed weights of all selected Entries. If only one Entry is selected, this effectively copies it.

  • Pages
    Each Page is a separate configuration of Entries and Folders. If a Page matches the original Vertex Groups list (1:1 with no duplicates), it can be used to sort the original list with one click.

  • Multi-Selection
    Vertex Codex operations will apply to all selected “Lines” (Entries and Folders). This applies to vertex assignment and vertex selection, but not weight painting.

  • Selection Groups
    Selections may be saved to the Page and used to reselect (or deselect) Lines at a later point.
