Wayrig

This is my experimental feature set for Rigify.

It is called 'Wayrig' because....well I'm sure you can figure that out.

Warning

This feature set is currently NOT compatible with any of the Vanilla Rigify

Why? I have changed some hard coded names in the generator file, so if you try to combine this with a vanilla component, it will look for a name that does not exist. For this reason, I have copied versions of all the existing component types and edited them to point towards my changed generator file.

Changes

Core Rigify:

• Renamed the auto generated root bone from root to Root
  All my bones were title case - except the most important in the hierarchy haha. I wish to add this as an option on the armature rather than the hardcoded names (hacky).

• Added my own WayRig generator in the rigify menu
  This is so you can invoke the Wayrig generator rather than the default version (hacky)

• Adjusted the naming convention
  A lot of the names generate with .001 or _end I tweaked this but it requires that the base name has numerals at the end. Eg Bone_01.L default rigify will name that Bone_01_end.L but Wayrig will name that Bone_02.L

• hard coded wirewidth to 2.0
  This just makes the widgets thicker. This should be setting on the armature.

Super Copy/ Raw Copy

• added relinking for 'None' (a little hacky)
  You can type None into the parent name and it will remove the parent. (this is useful when using the Armature Constraint)

Super Copy Plus (experimental):

• added basic parent switching (still WIP)
  This is still an unfished component that adds parent switching to this type. (I wish to add parent switching to all types)

Super Head

• Added option to world align the head control
• Added option to create a stretch control of the head (useful for cartoony characters)

Spine:

• exposed the b-bone segments in generation
  Set the number of b-bone segments in the spine.

• added option to position the Torso bone (Hacky) I found a really hacky way to decide which bone and at what distance to add the main torso control. I think it would be better if you could place the bone pre-generation and name it as the position the control will be generated. (if that bone doesn't exist - rigify should just create it)

• The hips and chest names are no longer hardcoded

• Edited the naming convention so it was bone_tweak not tweak_bone (this was different to all the other components)

• Added slider property so you can enable/disable the amount of volume preservation.

Limbs (Leg and Arm):

• Can set the name of the IK pole targets
• added a way to display the VIS bone as grey (hacky)
• changed the IK swing widget (and how it generates)
  This widget setup adds 1 extra bone to be the widget override. It means the double arrow widget does not obstruct when animating.

Leg Component:

• added option to put the toe pivot at the end of the toe (on the floor)
• added bendable foot option (for cartoony characters)
• updated the heel to remove the old limit rotation constraint (it uses drivers now)

Leg Plus (experimental):

• trying to add toe break options which is still wip

Eye:

• add a way to increase/decrease the distance the eye controls are generated
• world aligned the eyes
• [New type] Added Clamshell Eyelid Component type
• [New type] Added Basic eye (striped down version)

Skin Anchor:

• added reparenting option

Basic Chain/ Stretchy Chain:

• added property to enable/disable volume preservation
• changed the way the drivers are generated (bbone scale in/out)

Jaw:

• rename generated mouth control to "Mouth_master" (hardcoded)
• rename sample bones

Super Finger:

• averaged the bone rolls
  This makes the control generate in a nicer position if the fingers are modelled with a lot of bend.

Simple Tentacle:

• added tentacle tweaks (euler the control bones, rename sample bones)

Tongue Rig (new):

• added tongue rig (edited skin rig)
• renamed tongue master bone

Samples:

• fixed anchor and glue samples (samples not correct)
• renamed the bones (on most of them because of all the .001)
