The Archer Exporter Tool started as a way to help artists follow naming conventions more easily but when the artists tried it out they fell in love with its ability to import references, clean up rig names, and bake animations all with the click of a button. The tool ended up evolving from a single tool into two separate scripts- a Rig Clean-up tool and an Animation Baking tool.
The Rig Clean-up tool imports any references and removes the long pre-fix that can occur on import. It then deletes the controllers and is ready for export.
The Animation Baking tool works the same as the Rig Clean-up tool- importing references. cleaning up namespaces and deleting controllers- but has the added feature of baking your animation for export, saving you time and hassle of clicking through multiple menus.
