Unified UI - Release (Patreon)

Edit v1.1.0 : Added support for male models + integration of new features for future models

Alright, it's time for an official relase of the UI as an addon. It's meant to be used with the new official daz addon. Both addons are on gdrive (link below).

This addon will create a new panel in the viewport called "LeGuymelef UI". From there you'll be able to control all my models at once. Just select the model you want to tweak from the drop down menu at the top.

How is it better ? To name a few :

1) Appending is easier, no need to append and run the UI script anymore. The UI will already be in the viewport and will automatically detect new models appended.

2) All (female) models are supported and some features like the mirror mode or eevee/cycles switch can be used with older models, even if they didn't have those options when released.

3) Everything is dynamic, including the outfit and hair lists whereas before you had to rerun the script when adding a hairstyle or outfit. The hair or outfit collection still needs to bear the name of the character + either "outfit" or "hair" but the UI will now detect it as soon as you create it.

4) It's possible to apply some fixes to older models on the fly. See IK/FK sections to fix IK on old models for example. The eevee/cycles switch will fix some stuff as well.

5) We're back to the official daz addon versions so that's a good news for future evolutions.

Important change for the outfit library : the "retarget mesh drivers" button is now called "Change armature". When using it a box will appear asking if you want to retarget drivers, tick the box. Also that button creates cloth bones directly into the main armature so you can skip the "merge armatures" step from the tutorial :).

Another change is mirror mode won't lock you out of IK/FK switches nor heel pose selection anymore. Instead, the script will detect if you're in mirror and temporarily disable it while doing what it needs to do before going back to mirror mode. Mirror mode however locks you out of outfit library tools since that would create some unintended behaviors, that's not a limitation from the unified UI, it should actually always have been like this.

Current known limitation : male models will probably not work too well.

Now I can get back to models. Next in line is Senua from Hellblade, then Syanna from TW3. Those won't have individual UI scripts anymore.
