Attribute Conversion

• Attribute Name (Input): Type the name of the attribute (e.g., UV map) you want to convert.
• Convert All UVs (Button): Converts the specified attribute to a UV map for all objects in the scene that have the attribute.
• Convert Selected UVs (Button): Converts the specified attribute to a UV map for only the selected objects that have the attribute.

Node Management

• Node Attribute Name (Input): Type the name of the attribute used in shaders.
• Use Same Attribute (Checkbox): If enabled, the same name as the attribute for UV conversion will be used for shaders.
• Selected Only (Checkbox): Enabled: Applies node changes only to materials of selected objects. Disabled: Applies changes to all materials in the scene.
• Apply Texture Coordinate (Button): Adds or updates a Texture Coordinate and Mapping node in the material, linking them to Image Texture nodes.
• Apply Attribute Node (Button): Adds or updates an Attribute node in the material, linking it to the specified attribute and connecting it to relevant texture nodes.

Status Section

• Materials Found: Displays the number of materials affected by the node management tools.
• Status: Shows the result of the last action (e.g., number of objects converted or materials updated).

Limitations

• Currently supports only MESH objects.
• Requires correct attribute names to function. Ensure attributes exist before running the conversion.
