Create Level Shader Nodes

About

Creates shader lighting nodes for models from game levels. Can be used for rendering in blender or for editing lighting maps. The operator creates groups of nodes that are used in all materials with the same lighting type. There can be four types of lighting in total and they can be: lighting maps, vertex lighting, Multiple Usage object lighting, Terrain object lighting. For each type a different group of nodes is created in a single instance. To change the lighting of one type, it is enough to change the nodes in one group. The operator also loads bump, bump# textures and customizes normal maps and glare maps. The path to bump and bump# files is read from *.thm files if they exist, but if they don’t, the path to them is generated based on the base texture (_bump and _bump# are added to the end of the path). Search for *.thm files is done in Textures Folder from addon settings
