UI Beta update for Blender 4.0 (Patreon)

File removed, download is now on gdrive

Hi everyone,

Blender 4.0 is coming and it's big enough that everyone will want to switch asap so I took some preliminary steps.

The main change for this version is the support for the new bone collections (finally).

I've updated my code so that when you change outfit, the UI will now show the bone collection named exactly as the outfit collection, and hide the bone collections named as the other outfits found in the file. That will clean up bones clutter.

There's no model currently supporting this but you can easily add it manually : the bone groups I created for each outfit are converted into bone collections by Blender so you just have to copy the outfit collection name and paste it into the relevant bone collection. You should also hide the cloth&hair bone layer otherwise all bones will stay no matter what. Also the little icon next to the outfit name is now the outfit collection if it's found. See pictures if it's not clear.

I'll probably update a few models once 4.0 is officially released.

Other stuff was updated as well to support the bone collections, like FK/IK switch, armature layers and "change armature" button.

For now I'm keeping the file here as blender 4.0 code might evolve in the coming weeks and break stuff. Once I'll feel it's stable enough it will be put on gdrive.

As usual let me know if you find bugs.
