Changes for V6.4.2

• KKBP Exporter improvements by @MediaMoots!
  • The exporter is up to 400% faster now!
  • Skirt bone structures will now be correct if you're exporting multiple outfits with differently sized skirts
  • MeshFilter accessories will now export from the game
  • Models can now be exported without the physics deformations applied, allowing you to apply your own physics to accessory / skirt bones later on
  • ShapeInfo values are now exported to KK_CharacterInfoData.json
• Added a button for creating a Blender Pose Asset Library from exported Koikatsu animation files
• Added a button for creating a Blender Map Asset Library from exported Koikatsu map files
  • This will only work properly if the Better FBX Importer is installed and enabled
  • If this addon isn't installed, maps and objects will still import, but their orientations and locations may be incorrect
• Added a button to "Finalize" a material
  • Finalizing materials will improve viewport performance during animation playback
  • This will replace the heavy KKBP node groups with a simple texture + toon shader
  • You need to bake light and dark versions of the model to a folder, then use the "Switch baked templates" button for the Light and the Dark selection before attempting to use the "Finalize materials" button
  • The original materials are saved as "material_name-ORG" if you need to go back to edit or bake them again
• Updated Rigify scripts (January 24th)
  • These contain a bugfix related to headmods
• The KKBP and Rigify armatures now have slight knee deformation drivers to smooth out the knee in kneeling poses
• On Windows, the console will now show during long operations (importing characters, baking, importing animations, etc)
  • This will help the user more easily identify errors. If an error is encountered, the console will remain open after the operation is complete
• Clothes without a shadow color will now generate a dark texture with a default shadow color (instead of not generating and appearing completely white)
• Using both the Rigify and Cycles options on the panel will no longer result in a rotated body mesh
• Dark textures are now created when the Import Studio Object button is used
• Only new textures will be saturated when the Import Studio Object button is used
• Baking materials should work on Linux and Mac now
