update

[charlieduzstuf]

update code for the Blender 2D Smart Bones plugin, i want you to add new functionality to turn it into a more generalised 2d workflow, some stuff id like you to include is:
Bendy Body Parts: can be done using a lattice which you can also program, like in this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KKGin1jwJ5I
Better Expressions: so different assets for character face parts like eyes, including tweens from one expression to another
Some Depth: make it so selected parts can be given some 3d depth so other body parts can move around it to make the 2d character stay somewhat anatomically accurate, this is an option tho
Automation: so much more of this should be automated, with different presets
Easier Colouring: it's so hard to just colour, fill or shade objects, make it just 1 click all of the time, with a config too
Auto-layering: all new additions like colour need to automatically be put on different layers, blender does this already to a lesser extent. some layers must be linked/grouped or treated as one until double clicked or opened in some sort of config, like a Photopea Smart Object
Hybrid animation: this needs to include a mix of Puppetry/Rig/Cutout, Hand-Drawn/Frame-By-Frame, Tweening, Changing Verticies etc. this effectively needs to be Moho but in blender
an experimental feature you can try to add:
AI Tweening for blender, in blender 2d, you can draw 2 frames and tween them, sometimes this works, but not if you have complex frames or frames that have body parts drawn in a different order, try and use an open source ai software to add a new interpolation option using AI
what you need to do:
add all of the features in full, no stubs or errors, search the web and have a massive deep think, dont remove any functionality either
also make it autoinstall "Requires FILM/TensorFlow installation for AI features" and make it also support other frame interpolation models/software like tooncrafter
the interpolate option should show the ai option, it currently does not, rmemeber that this needs to modify pre-existing blender ui as well. installing the ai also freezes blender. also "hybrid animation" is not a feature/option, and just means all the tools you should be building into this
i cant see many other of the changes this should have brought, update the script to fix this

Progress Updates

• I'll start by exploring the repository structure to understand the current Blender 2D Smart Bones plugin and its existing functionality before implementing the requested enhancements.
• The repository has a simple structure with just a main Python file (Smart2D.py), a README, and a LICENSE. Let me examine the main plugin file to understand the current functionality.
• The file is quite large. Let me search for specific sections to understand the current structure better, particularly looking for the AI tweening functionality and interpolation options.
• I can see there's already some AI interpolation functionality. Let me check the end of the file to see the complete structure and understand what's missing.
• Now I can see the complete structure. The plugin already has many of the requested features implemented, but there are several issues and missing functionality. Let me analyze what needs to be improved and create a comprehensive plan.
• Analyzing the current plugin structure and identifying what needs to be improved or added based on the requirements.
• I need to update the Blender 2D Smart Bones plugin to fix existing issues and enhance functionality. The main problems are: 1) AI installation freezes Blender, 2) AI interpolation option not showing properly in interpolate menu, 3) Many features need enhancement to be more robust and user-friendly, 4) Need better integration of hybrid animation techniques.
• Based on my analysis, I'll now implement comprehensive improvements to the plugin. The main issues are AI installation freezing Blender, menu integration problems, and the need for more robust feature implementations. I'll start by fixing the critical AI installation and menu integration issues.
• Let me find the exact location of the AI installation operator to replace it properly.
• Let me check the exact indentation and content around the AI installation operator to make the replacement correctly.
• I need to be more careful with the exact text matching. Let me try a different approach by creating a new file with all the improvements and then replacing the entire content.
• Let me work on smaller sections at a time. I'll start by fixing the AI installation operator by replacing just that specific function.
• Let me try a different approach. I'll create a backup of the original file and then work on specific improvements section by section.
• Let me work on improving the existing code by making targeted changes. I'll start by enhancing the bendy parts functionality which is one of the key features mentioned in the request.
• Now I'll enhance the bendy parts functionality to be more sophisticated, similar to what's shown in the referenced video. I'll improve the lattice programming and bone setup.
• I need to add the mathutils import at the top of the file first, then make the changes. Let me check the imports section.

⚠️ I'm having technical difficulties. I couldn't solve the issue. I'm going to try again. This might take some time.
