Vetala Beta 0.5.0

Highlights:
  • Maya 2022 Support
  • Python 3 Support, still works with Python 2 as well.
  • Data folders
  • Deadline submission tested and working
Improvements:
  • Referenced options now have a slightly different color, as well as some bug fixing.
  • FkCurveRig ribbon now has stretch on/off
  • Export skin weights now has the option to export as single file. To not version up and to not export dual quaternion blending. On complex setups with many small pieces of geo... not versioning up and not exporting blend weights can speed things up by a couple minutes. Single file mode can help reduce clutter. Its a single file per geo. But I found that multiple files per geo (per joint) worked faster because it is setup to work in parallel.
  • Slightly cleaner log and console output.
  • new builtin called "put" allows for passing variables between scripts. Also has some auto complete to see what variables were created in put. Usage is put.value = 'test' and then to retrieve the value later on: value = put.value.
  • some small auto complete tweaks and improvements in the code.
  • process.run_script and process.run_script_group now search for scripts in the manifest hierarchy. So if a script is named uniquely there's a better chance of finding it consistently.
  • rigs now have some color automation, but might change or get expanded on. Not entirely happy with it. Too complex
  • export selected control_cvs,color, attributes data
  • namespace option added to import keyframes data
Added:
  • core.get_transfroms_with_shape_of_type added
  • curve.create_curve_from_default added. This creates a curve from the default curve library without having to initialize anything.
  • util_math.angle_between added
  • rigs_util.Control.fix_sub_control_shapes added
  • curves shapes added: cylinder, simple_sphere, hexagon, gear2
Fixes:
  • get_outliner_sets now works better and only finding sets that are visible in the outliner.
  • core.delete_set fixes
  • templates in the settings and the template tab beside the option tab bug fixes.
  • CopyMatch pasting options bug fixes
  • ik/fk matching now works better when pivots offset
  • some batch mode fixes

I added a Youtube video about the new "put" builtin.
Hoping to do a couple of these videos to outline features
