MB-Lab Modules ============== The Modules of MB-Lab are the Python files, the engines that run under the hood. ============ Main Modules ============ The main modules are derived from the original code of **ManuelBastioniLAB ver 1.6.1** Since the beginning of the fork this code has evolved and expanded over time. ----------- _ init _.py ----------- This is the core of the addon. * Function calls * GUI Elements ------------- algorithms.py ------------- Contains various functions for every engine. ------------------ animationengine.py ------------------ Handles the animation import and assigning to skeleton * Retargeting * Identifies Bones * Similar functions (expand) * Loads BVH files, saves and loads poses. ----------- humanoid.py ----------- Handles much of the character changing functions including Auto-Modelling. ----------------- materialengine.py ----------------- This is where the image textures get loaded and applied to nodes -------------- morphengine.py -------------- This is where the morphs of the character are loaded from JSON files -------------- proxyengine.py -------------- Handles the Proxy Fitting functions ----------------- skeletonengine.py ----------------- Loads and applies the skeleton (either FK or IK) to the character =========== New Modules =========== The new modules have been added over time to support the main code. ------------- hairengine.py ------------- This is the code that applies the hair to MB-Lab characters ----------- file_ops.py ----------- Contains code that handle file operations --------------- morphcreator.py --------------- Module to create and edit the JSON morph library --------------- material_ops.py --------------- Contain functions that control some of the materials in MB-Lab ------------- object_ops.py ------------- Contain functions that help in object manipulation ---------- facerig.py ---------- This is the code that controls the face rig -------------- preferences.py -------------- Related to the Auto-updater along with other options for Preferences -------- utils.py -------- Contain helper code for other engines --------------------- creation_tools_ops.py --------------------- Main code for the MB-Dev framework --------------------- expressionscreator.py --------------------- Code to help create new expressions ---------------- jointscreator.py ---------------- Code to make the joints JSON ------------------ measurescreator.py ------------------ Creates the measurement JSON files --------------- skeleton_ops.py --------------- Helps in the creation of the Joints and Skeleton ----------- transfor.py ----------- Contains code for the transformation files ----------------- vgroupscreator.py ----------------- Creates the Vertex Weight JSON files ----------- mesh_ops.py ----------- Functions to help with the mesh editing ----------- node_ops.py ----------- Code to help with the Hair shader creation ------------ numpy_ops.py ------------ Code to place the Hair JSON data into compressed NPZ files --------------------- humanoid_rotations.py --------------------- Contains code for the human rotation limit feature ===================== Addon Updater Modules ===================== The Addon Updater code was adopted from CGCookie's original code. ---------------- addon_updater.py ---------------- The main code for the auto-updater -------------------- addon_updater_ops.py -------------------- Contains functions and the settings for the auto-updater
