BoneWeaver v0.2.0 — Initial Public Preview

BoneWeaver v0.2.0 — Initial Public Preview

Highlights

• Read-only hierarchy inspection with Parent/Root/Descendant overlays and
  explicit branch continuation.
• Confirmed semantic discovery for secondary-motion chains.
• Immutable Physics Graph planning, preview, conservative terminal inference,
  and opt-in visual chain cleanup.
• BoneX and Wiggle-oriented rotation/stretch profiles without proxy-bone or
  weight mutations.

Safety and data integrity

Analyze, inspection, and discovery do not modify rest geometry. Apply is limited
to selected EditBone tail, roll, and use_connect, requires a current frozen
plan, writes a persistent Snapshot, records a mutation ledger, validates neutral
evaluated meshes, and rolls back on failure. Export is gated and independently
reopened in a second Blender process before success is reported.

Installation

Download boneweaver-0.2.0.zip, then use Edit > Preferences > Extensions >
Install from Disk in Blender 4.2 or newer. No external Python dependencies are
required.

Validation evidence

• Blender 5.2.0 LTS RC build 710df102694f.
• 208/208 Blender-hosted automated tests passed.
• A real UE asset containing 157 bones and 25,610 vertices completed Analyze,
  Apply, export, and independent reopen validation.
• The packaged extension passed an isolated installation and repeated
  registration/unregistration cycle.

Known limitations

• BoneWeaver prepares physics chains; it does not retarget UE animation bases.
• Blender 4.2 is the manifest minimum; local release validation used the Blender
  5.2 build above.
• BoneX and Wiggle behavior remains dependent on project-specific physics tuning.
• Unsafe Actions, NLA, drivers, constraints, pose state, branch ambiguity, and
  low-confidence terminal evidence intentionally block Apply.
