UPDATE LOG:

Version 1.1: I've added the functionality to "Apply Variants as Materials" button. This button takes all your variant materials and applies them to random faces on your mesh, in order to create an .fbx file ready to be imported in to game engines like Unity, UE etc. As long as you have enough faces on your mesh.

I also added "Quick Export as FBX" button right under "Apply Variants as Materials" button for seamless workflow.

Version 1.2: You can now copy & paste variant collections from one object to another. Backward compatibility with addon versions has been improved.

Version 1.3: You can now gather all assigned materials from an object as variants quickly, further increasing your workflow speed. Copy & Paste behaviour changed, it no longer overwrites existing variant collection, rather adding new rows instead.
