Speed up blockout and placeholder replacement in large scenes with predictable and safe behavior.
WHAT THE ADDON DOES
NTI recursively traverses the entire scene tree and replaces nodes whose names match a user-defined alias. Each alias is associated with a PackedScene. The replacement preserves transformations and maintains the scene structure.
CORE CONCEPT
Each system entry defines:
- Alias — search string (identification rule)
- PackedScene — replacement scene
WHY USE NTI?
Fast BlockoutReplace placeholders with complex scenes in seconds. |
Safe & PreciseNo false positives. Deterministic matching. |
Hierarchy SafeMaintains children, signals and editor stability. |
