- Now working with Alpha 2.
- Did some changed but it should still work, did some basic testing.
- Do want to make further changes and make the system better where possible.
- Improved typing in some areas.
- Improved code readability in some areas.
- Delete bone constraints would error out if the user is in edit mode, we now start in Object mode first.
- Fixed Eye tracking Ajust string not being in the translation files.
- There is now a selection box to select the mesh in the current active armature for viseme creation instead of the user having to select it in the 3D scene.
- Viseme preview mode won't allow you to start it if your in a other mode, you need to be in Object mode now.
- Combine Materials won't allow you to start it if your in a other mode, you need to be in Object mode now.
- Added Japanese and Korean UI Languages.
Added the Armature Validation modes now, we have Stritct, Basic and None, it will give a warning to the user in the panel if there have it set to basic or none.
Settings panel added, langauge change has been added back. Did some work on it to slightl improve the system.
Added dubug area, basically everything but autoload will use logging now, you be able to turn it on/off in debug settings.
Did other bits and bobs.
I decided to go through each function and UI section one by one, improving and overhauling things. Each function and section is going to be fully tested and not rushed out.
This is the best way to catch things, but also include the code base as much as possible.
- Re-wrote how the plugin registers itself.
- No longer need @register_wrapper classes get auto detected and added.
- The new Auto loader is much better then the old way, no longer need "if "bpy" not in locals():" this was an old way of doing things and wasn't really efficient.
using auto_load.py provides several advantages:
- It automatically discovers and loads all modules in the addon.
- It handles dependencies between classes correctly through topological sorting.
- It manages registration order automatically.
- It properly handles unregistration in the correct order.
This approach is much less error prone and I not had any issues so far. However it still needs testing fully.
I have also start to re-organise files into folders as well, this is going to be needed so we don't have a long list of files as Avatar Toolkit is getting larger then i originally planned.
- operator strings are referenced via the class property rather than a hard coded string
- class names have been cleaned to have _OT_ or _PT_ depending on the kind of class it was.
- Class names should mostly be CamelCase now.
- Added Progress system so the user knows something is being done when there use certain functions. Currently only Join Meshes, Viseme creation and combine materials use it.
- Disbabled some translation debguing stuff to remove spam from the console.
- Viesmes will now use selected armature.
- New dropdown menu in the viseme UI so the user can select which mesh to create visemes on.
- New helper function get_armature_meshes
- Added a new check before we create the new visemes to see if any exist, if there do we will remove them and create the new ones.
- fixed several issues and errors.
Yes I did do this code all myself and they have been looked over and modified since proposed to other addons.
The commented MMD animation importer is stashed as a comment for now till an MMD animation importer is properly created.
- Added a check to make sure Armature is valid.
- Added a helper to select the current armature selected in armature selection.
- Added a helper to get all meshes.
- Updated all current functions to work with the system.
- Organised some of the code better.
- Fixed sort order loop.
- Added typing in some places there wasn't.
This is a very basic start to Viesme creation, I still need to add translations for some stuff and improve it. This is very much inspired from the Cats Version.
- Added Resonite translation with automatic <NOIK> marking. If this doesn't work, please improve the dictionary, or hook it along with others into a better translation layer to deal with identifying body parts
- Added Resonite export, which simply exports the model with the proper settings as a GLB/GLTF for more graceful importing and editing within the game.
- Added functions folder.
- Added Combine Materials (Basic and needs imporvements.
- Added common file, this is where any common things that could be used by multiple functions will live.
- Clean materials, basic at the minute it cleans up material names in the given mesh by removing the '.001' suffix.
- Added fix UV Cords in which is in common, this should fix faulty uv coordinates, may need improvements as it's was the best way i could think of for the time being.
- Added join all meshes and selected meshes functions, this will use the fix uv cords while joining mehses. This is pretty basic as blender is quite good at doing the mesh joining itself. We may want to expand it in the future though.
