⚡ BLENDER ↔ RIZOMUV LIVE LINK — Professional UV Bridge Addon

Stop wasting time with manual OBJ exports and imports. This addon creates a seamless live connection between Blender and RizomUV — one click to send, one click to receive.

🎯 The Problem:

Every time you want to UV map in RizomUV, you have to:

Export OBJ → Open RizomUV → Load file → Edit UVs → Save → Go back to Blender → Import → Transfer UVs manually...

😩 Over and over. For every model.

🚀 The Solution:

Select your model → Click SEND → Done. ✅

Edit UVs in RizomUV → Click RECEIVE → UVs are back. ✅

Or just enable File Watcher and save in RizomUV — Blender updates automatically. 🔄

📦 Features:

🔗 IPC Live Connection — Direct memory link to RizomUV via RizomUVLink API. Your model loads instantly in the same RizomUV window. No new instances, no file dialogs. (Blender 5.0)

📤 One-Click Send — Select objects, click Send. Model appears in RizomUV. Original objects are completely untouched.

📥 One-Click Receive — Click Update UVs. Only UV data comes back — your geometry, materials, and modifiers stay exactly as they were.

👁 Auto File Watcher — Enable Watch mode and every Ctrl+S in RizomUV automatically updates your UVs in Blender. No buttons needed.

🗂 Multiple UV Sets — All UV layers transfer, not just the active one. UVMap, Lightmap, DetailUV — everything comes back intact.

🔒 Exclude Linked Instances — Linked duplicates sharing the same mesh data are automatically skipped. Only unique meshes get sent.

🔪 Mark Sharp on Import — UV boundary edges are automatically marked as sharp when receiving UVs. Essential for clean normal map baking.

🔄 Reset UVs — Option to wipe all existing UV maps before sending. Start fresh in RizomUV.

🧠 Generate Initial UV — Auto Smart UV Project in Blender before sending. Perfect for models that don't have any UVs yet.

🎯 Send Selected or All — Toggle between sending only selected objects or every mesh in the scene.

📁 FBX & OBJ Support — Choose your preferred transfer format in preferences.
