Changelog - Mustard2/MustardUI GitHub Wiki

From version 0.23, the changelog is available in the Releases page.

Version 0.21/22

0.22.3 (26/02/2022)

  • fix #23: Deleting all layers remove armature panel
  • fix #25: Error when registering UI with different name
  • fix #26: Change name in Clean menu
  • fix #27: Rebuilding fails with custom properties
  • fix #28: Linked custom properties for outfits and hair deletion error
  • fix #29: Errors generated when armature panel is removed
  • fix #31: Custom property rebuild fails

0.22.2 (27/01/2022)

  • added possibility to collapse Extras (issue #21)
  • fixed issue #22: error when adding ColorRamp RGB color
  • fixed issue #19: several errors when deleting an outfit collection
  • fixed some properties names
  • fixed issue #20: 1.5 morphs not being usable with Diffeomorphic 1.6.1 or above
  • fixed Diffeomorhic not being recognized if installed from bitbucket repository downloads
  • fixed rare context error that might happen when the Morphs are enabled/disabled without selecting the armature

Note: creators should provide the morphs support script daz_morphs.py (it's in the external_addons folder of this repository). This is because from Diffeomorphic 1.6.1, the 1.5.1 morphs are not supported. The scripts provide the necessary functions to let it work also with 1.6.1.

0.22.1 (07/01/2022)

The main focus of this release is on the new Clean Model tool, and on some UI improvements

  • added tool to get a lighter version of the model (without morphs, too many outfits, etc..)
  • added global preserve volume option
  • added possibility to switch off the material notmals tool button in the UI
  • Outfits and Hair has been splitted in two different tabs
  • Subdivision surface buttons has been moved in a separate box
  • switched to "compact" UI in some places
  • better default handling of descriptions when adding custom properties (for material and shape keys)
  • fixed extras not being affected by outfit global options
  • fixed fatal error in the UI when no outfits or hair were available for the model

0.22.0 (03/12/2021)

Note: this version will work only with Blender 3.0 and above!

  • custom properties should now be fully Blender 3.0 compatible (it needed a complete rework due to the deprecation of RNA_UI)
  • better informations about the property when linking (with outfit/hair name)
  • fixed colors not being able to set description is settings
  • fixed default color change in settings
  • fixed data type force that might have failed in some cases, and added message when switching from bool to another force type
  • fixed log file not being created in the model folder in Blender 3.0
  • fixed scalar properties linkable with array properties, but not the opposite. Now both can not be linked, as it should be
  • fixed ENUM properties not being added
  • fixed bool arrays properties not being added

0.21.0 (21/11/2021)

Note: this is the last version working with 2.93. Future versions will work only with Blender 3.0 and above!

  • complete new UI and custom properties implementations (now with drivers instead of custom functions, for better efficiency): right click on any property in Blender to add it to the UI (note that should be in configuration mode)!
  • possibility to sort the custom properties
  • smart custom properties import, so that if you miss the MustardUI naming of the properties you will import those in one click too
  • all animatable properties (except for booleans and colors, this is a Blender limitation) will allow to change description, max/min to any valye, default value
  • the outfits will have not only single pieces properties, but now you will have new custom properties that will affect all outfits pieces (for instance a texture set)
  • full support for hair (in 0.20.20 there was an initial implementation based on the same outfits implementation)
  • Diffeomorphic 1.6 support
  • revised particle systems support
  • tons of bug fixes

Note: although this version is compatible with 0.20, some things should be redone. To readd custom properties for the body, you'll need to use the Custom Properties Smart Check button (https://github.com/Mustard2/MustardUI/wiki/Installation-and-configuration#custom-properties-smart-check) to re-add them. Unfortunately due to incompatibilities with the new/old system, you will have do add outfit properties again with the new system.

  • feature: the additional properties can now be added to hair (similarly to outfits)

0.20.0 - Alpha 1 (16/05/2021)

New features

  • new configuration panel General idea: With this panel you will not need to specify the outfit list, the panels to show, etc.. in the code anymore! You will be able to costumize the MustardUI as you wish, enabling/disabling properties/tools/etc.. It is now easy to put your own social newtork links too!
    • Armature setting panel: you can build your own armature panel, naming and ordering the different armature layers in one nice and clean UI panel. You can also assign some layers to specific outfits/pieces of outfits, so they will be shown/hidden depending on the visibility of the assigned objects.
    • Smart settings detector: if MustardUI Naming Convention is enabled, you can use this tool (the lens button at the right top of the configuration panel) to quickly find the majority of the properties. In a few clicks you can have a working UI! Note that we highly advise you to check the results, since it might be not so smart always.
    • Much more, see Installation and Configuration
  • support for more characters on the same scene. The two implemented selection methods are the following.
    • Viewport Model Selection: selecting an armature, a tab will appear with all the settings of the selected model. This is useful when more models are available on the scene, and you want to quickly switch from one to another just clicking on the armatures. Note: the MustardUI will appear only when clicking on an armature (no panel will be shown if you click on Mesh/etc..). If an armature does not have a MustardUI already configured, the Configuration panel will appear.
    • Panel Model Selection: you can select the model from a panel at the top of MustardUI. If Panel Model Selection is enabled, the UI with the armature selected in the Model Selection panel will be always shown, regardless if you click another Mesh/Armature/... However, if you select this method of selection and there is only one MustardUI ready model, the panel will not be shown (to avoid wasting precious viewport space). This is useful when only one model is on the scene, so only one UI is relevant. Or, if more models are available, you are focusing on just one of these.
  • Windows only: you can open the console from the UI settings, to quickly check the debug messages (if Debug Mode enabled in the same panel)

New settings

  • turn on/off Nude "outfit", which can be useful for SFW models.
  • the additional properties now work also for the Body mesh. No need to manually code every single property!

Deprecated

  • the Pre-rendering checks tool has been removed, since most of its checks are obsolete.
  • the maintenance Optimize tool has been removed. You can achieve the same result using the Simplify Blender function.
  • Translucency way of making SSS has been removed, as it can be fully achieved with Principled BSDF.
  • the UI register option has been removed, since now it is an addon

Bug fixes

The code is brand new, I fixed a lot of stuffs I did in the previous versions, but I am sure I implemented new ones. Please report them in the Issues section!
