1.6.0.4

• Fixed bake rigify retarget not assigning action to rig after baking
• Removes facial expression bone drivers on Rigifying (caused cyclic dependencies)
• Re-importing/rebuilding materials on a character will reload any texture images that are being re-used from existing or previous imports, just in case they have been changed on disk.

• Fix Generic character import.
• Spring rig panels show if character is invalid for spring rigging.

1.6.0

• Rigifying character keeps meta-rig and allows for Re-Rigifying the control rig from the meta-rig.
  • Useful for re-aligning bones, re-positioning face rig, etc...
• First draft of (optional) Dual Specular skin shader (Eevee & Cycles) with specular micro details.
• Added build options to generate drivers for Jaw, Eyes and Head bones from facial expression shape keys.
• Added build option to generate drivers for all expression shape keys driven from the body mesh shape keys.
  • Which means only the expressions on the body mesh need to be updated/animated.
• Fix to turn off vertex colours in hair materials when hair mesh has blank vertex colour data (i.e. all zero).
• Facial Expression shape key value range expanded to -1.5 - 1.5 (except for eye look shape keys)
• Characters exported with Mouth Open as Morph, now correctly detects the body mesh.
• Fix to support sphere colliders in collisions shapes.
• Some additional lighting arrangements: Authority and Blur Warm.
