engon 1.5.0 - spawning improvements, asset pack installation drag and drop and more!
🔦Highlights:
- Asset pack can be installed and updated using drag & drop (Blender 4.1+)
- Added invert and duplicate weight paint density buttons
🎯Spawning improvements:
- Materials spawn on selected faces when in edit mode
- New option to enable/disable particle system view layer collection when spawning
- Particle systems plane is spawned if no object is selected
- Particle systems are spawned on all selected objects instead of the active one
- Particle systems layers have different seeds based on the name when spawning - prevents overlapping of particles
- Geometry nodes curve assets can be spawned on selected curves
- Do not create an asset pack named collection if it wasn't used (e. g. spawning into particle system)
- Material and particle system preview objects (if no object is selected) are spawned to collection based on spawn options
📃Other:
- Don't show unnecessary dialog when setting

color to random - Don't allow installing asset packs if they require a newer version of
engon
- Automatically call Find Missing Files after updating pack to a higher variant
- Removed the 'Particle System' target collection from spawn options in favor of 'Spawn Into Active Particle System'
🐞Bugfixes:
- Assets with empty in the root are now snapped to ground correctly
- Improved snapping logic to consider the bounding box of the whole model hierarchy
- Fixed logic to decompose

vehicle, so snap to ground figures out car parts correctly - Fonts are considered in Find Missing Files
- Find Missing Files doesn't stop if an indirect library is removed when reloading datablocks
- Preserve density does not result in an error on mesh with an invalid area
- Remove duplicates does not try to remove linked datablocks in corner cases, improved logic behind choosing original datablock

License Plates interface fixes - respect property units when copying front to back, don't show empty panels- Basic compatibility with Blender 4.4 Python API changes
- Using spawn operators from the console now reports errors instead of finishing if something wrong happened
- Models with 'make_editable' can be spawned only in object mode, spawning in edit mode caused a crash
- Find missing files works with all sizes of materialiq textures
