Hello beta testers!
I'll never really be done developing the script, and so at some point you just have to pull the trigger (what an awful metaphor). The link below includes the Blender Python script (FBA4B_01.py) for automatically assembling FBX meshes based on XML blueprints exported from Frosty Editor, along with a PDF walk-through tutorial.
FBA4B_01.rar
A few of the steps are still a bit manual (e.g. adding root element tags to the XML), but they are unfortunately unavoidable at the moment, and thankfully not at all difficult. Before you jump in with both feet, please read the PDF and do the walkthrough. It may seem a bit complicated, but once you've gone through the walkthrough, you'll hopefully see how very simple it can be.
As I like to point out at every opportunity, I am not a professional developer -- I barely even qualify as a hobbyist. While the script has been working well for me, there is no guarantee that it will continue to work as expected for your use case, and my ability to help troubleshoot will be hampered by my lack of experience. If your Blender Python kung-fu is strong, and you have recommendations for improving the robustness/functionality of the script, I'm open to suggestions.
Good luck!
