Cool scripts for Blender 2.8

How to copy and paste from one 3D app to another with OD_CopyPasteExternal?

Wouldn’t it be great if programs are build to universally connect to each other. The pain of exporting and importing your models, objects materials is painful in the 3D app. There wasn’t an easier way to this until now with the amazing script call OD Copy Paste External. You can say good bye to saving out fbx, obj or even pushing the GoZ button. Depending on the 3D program feature this script supports it can transfer, polygons, UVMaps, weights, materials, morph maps and more. When installed, just simply copy from your working 3D app and opening another to paste it in. This opens up for quick speedy workflow for artist and production studios.
