Character DNA

Major Changes

• Re-designed RigLogic integration for x3.7 speed up to total rig instance evaluation

Minor Changes

• Updated Legacy migration operator to convert existing rig instances to newly re-designed RigLogic integration
• Updated Append and Link functionality to append data within a rig instance collection, while maintaining RigLogic connection
• The Link operation now has a Editable Rig option to make rig controls native to the scene, while linking everything else

• Fixed a character's collections being moved out of the view layer when its asset collection was deleted
• Fixed the face rig silently stopping evaluation after a re-initialize that Blender would not let complete
• Fixed baking the face board when its action held channels other than pose bone transforms
• Fixed Blender freezing or crashing part way through rendering an animation with rig logic evaluation turned on
• Fixed the character's face lagging a frame behind the face board when rendering an animation
• Fixed DNA files never being released and from memory
• Fixed Face Board origin on second MetaHuman import
• Fixed the eyes not aiming at the eyes aim control when the head bone is rotated and only the head DNA has been imported #309
