Rename objects according to parent's name

[lauris4747]

Hi,

maybe someone could help me to rename selected objects and their children.

I want to export many objects using FBX to Unity. Unity recognises LOD (Level of detail) according to the naming.

Each LOD should be within the original model.

I have around 2000 objects, some of them have 2 children, some of them have 1.

The naming should be according to parent's name + _LOD + depth. Lets say parent is Object1 so the naming should be:

Object1_LOD0 - Parent object

   Object1_LOD1 - First child object 

      Object1_LOD2- Second child object 

 Object2_LOD0

    Object2_LOD1

 Object3_LOD0

    Object3_LOD1

          Object3_LOD2

etc...

I hope someone can help. Thank you.

# select your all parent object or get list of them.

allParentObjects = cmds.ls(sl=True)

for object in allParentObjects:
	dag_obj = cmds.listRelatives(object, ad=True, type="transform") #gives you all child objects
	objectsToRename = [object]+dag_obj #list parent then child
	for num, obj in enumerate(objectsToRename):
		cmds.rename(obj, obj+"_LOD"+str(num))

I think That will do your Job.
