Hi all,

Following the last post, here's a fix for the UI issues that come from both blender 3.4 & 3.5.

There are now two versions of the addon, one for 3.3 and one for 3.4+. Choose one or the other depending on which blender version you use.

I've included some minor fixes as well in both versions.

Versions are as such : UI 1.6.2 for blender 3.3 & UI 1.7.0 for blender 3.4+

Be aware that once you save a model with 3.4 or 3.5, you can't go back to 3.3 since those versions break some backwards compatibility...this is becoming the norm with blender lately sadly.

Some technical stuff if you're curious to know why changes were needed :

Blender 3.4 removes the old mix RGB node in favor of a more "versatile" version. Problem is my models and the UI rely partly on that mix RGB. The material aspect is handled by blender directly, changing the node automatically when you open the file with blender 3.4+. The UI script however needs to be updated to know where to look for the needed infos.

Blender 3.5 removes the old pose library on which the heel poses rely. Instead, blender recommends to use the asset library, which would be fine going forward but older models don't have heel poses as library assets. So instead, I've translated the heel poses to bones rotations on xyz axis and apply those rotations "manually" in the UI script. This means I only rely on bone rotation which should be future proof as I don't see those basic infos changed anytime soon.
