DESCRIPTION
Renames multiple objects. Optionally, appends the node type
of the object as a suffix. For example, if the object is a NURBS surface,
and you give it the name 'dog', the object will be named 'dog_nurbsSurface_1'.
Also works on shading networks! Useful for automating naming conventions.
Now allows user-defined aliases! All you have to do is edit the $aliases
array in the oaRenamerAliases procedure. For example, if the node type suffix is 'mesh',
you can replace it with 'poly' like this:
string $aliases[] = {
"mesh", "poly"
};
For more examples, see the oaRenamerAliases procedure.
New Consonants Only checkbox! Many naming conventions omit vowels from
the node type suffix. For example, if the node is called 'Dog_group_1', checking
this option will call the node 'Dog_grp_1'. This checkbox will work fine
in conjunction with the Aliases checkbox.
