Accessory Importer Plugin [UPDATED]

Accessory Importer Plugin:

Easily import Accessories into studio, all that is required is the asset id.
Cleans up the model from any: welds, touch interests, Thumbnail configuration, etc.
Provides a 3d preview of the asset before you import it.

Note: I’m going to rewrite this to a dockergui soon but this is just the bare functionality and ui update.

  • removed preview window
  • added direct link importing
  • simplified code

After using my own plugin for a while I found that it was cumbersom to prefix the accessory ID with “rbxassetid://idhere” so I made it work with both.

Tutorial:

  1. Install the plugin

  2. find an accessory you want to import on the catalog and copy its URL

    I will be using this accessory for an example.

  3. Paste that link into the plugin

  4. Finally, press import and it is imported into studio.

This is a very useful tool. It’s definitely better than having to use AssetService and manually tag in all of the accessories I need for a particular project.

As an early version of the plugin, this is a great start. All that really needs to be improved is UI elements. All of the main functionality is present.

I’m not much of a UI artist, but eventually it will look better in the future

Great plugin, i’d recommend implementing feature where it puts the accessory directly into a model dummy, if player has selected one.
