Import Physics Without Overwriting Existing Physics Groups

Tea_con · 7:43AM

When working on more complex VTuber models, the editor can start to feel pretty slow (clicking around, copy-pasting, etc.). Because of that, I sometimes split the work into separate *.cmo3 files, basically rigging certain parts (including physics) in a different file then merging it back later.

Right now, we can copy-paste ArtMeshes and parameters just fine between files.
But physics is where things get tricky.

If we import physics settings, it completely overwrites all the existing physics groups in the main file. So there’s no way to “merge” physics from another file without losing what’s already there.

It would be really helpful if there was an option like "Import Physics Settings Without Overwriting Existing Groups"

This would make a difference for workflows like:
- Splitting heavy models into multiple working files
- Collaborating with others (e.g., assistants handling certain parts)
- Merging finished parts without rebuilding physics from scratch

Right now, the only workaround is manually recreating everything, which is taking more time to rebuild it again.

Would love to see something like this in the future!

There is a workaround editing the .physics json manually and overwriting manually to it on the end of it, and it works (it is the process i already do hahaha)

oh wow, I didn’t even think of doing it that way haha, thx!
hope they can implement this, but for now I’ll use it as my workaround

Howdy, Stranger!
