Cyberpunk Blender Add on v1.7.1

Major New Multilayered Features

• All Multilayered shader params and overrides are written, expressed, and exposed within Blender - what you see in Blender is nearly 1:1 with the game.
• Create new MLSETUP files from Blender by exporting materials as .mlsetup.json which can be converted to REDengine format by WolvenKit.
• Override data is loaded into a new Material panel within Blender. Set color-overrides instantly by clicking colors and use drop downs for normal-strength and levels.
• Override generation can be triggered during import from the import dialogs.

Other Notable Changes and Major Bug Fixes:

• The new Autofitter backend has been fixed and re-optimized, refitters now load instantly
  • The "Apply to Mesh" functions have been completely reworked. Shape key creation, blending and application are exponentially faster, more accurate and context safe than ever before
• Fix rig errors for "load bundled rig" and t-pose a-pose conversions by @TheBra1nz in #303
• Completely reworked Rigify tools are now able to generate working Rigify control rig for all bundled rigs and any other armature with bone names matching Cyberpunk 2077 base body anim rigs- simply select the armature and press the new "Generate Rigify Rig" Button found in the animation tools Panel

• GLB Export now includes a non-destructive option to automatically fix errors in your exported meshes that would prevent importing them into Wolvenkit
• Autofitter now lets you choose "None" for the primary refitter to allow you to only apply a refitter add-on
• Added Elegy body type to available Autofitters
• Reworked rig import from json - now faster, imports properly for any rig defined in a Wolvenkit exported .rig.json file: Includes the option to import "Debug Empties" which can be used for game accurate translation of rig edits from Blender into Wolvenkit
• Rigs loaded from .JSON can be loaded with rest set to either A-Pose, or Cyberpunk 2077's famous T-Pose, you can switch between them at the click of a button

Full Changelog: v1.5.5.2...1.6.0

Cyberpunk Blender Add on v1.5.5.2

This release focuses on bugfixes and cleanup. It resolves a number of the most frequent issues reported by users.

Import/Export Changes:

• Fixed an issue causing static props to be checked for armatures and vertex groups which was preventing export. Exporting static props to GLB will now work as expected again (by @manavortex in 137)
• Fixed streaming sector import/export (by @Simarilius-uk in 138)
• Fixed an issue when exporting capsule and sphere colliders to .phys.json which prevented them from being imported to Wolvenkit
• .phys.json files exported from Blender will now include the correct mass and moment of inertia values (by @DoctorPresto in #139)

Mesh Tools Changes:

• Fixed the weight transfer function. It will now correctly transfer vertex groups and weights even when the source collection and target collection have different mesh counts. It will also no longer change the users viewport context or active object or throw exceptions when used outside of object mode. (by @DoctorPresto in 143)
• Fixed an issue causing the UV checker UI switch to constantly check every selected and unselected object and fill the console with exceptions when objects which don't have materials are selected. (by @DoctorPresto in 144)
• Fixed an issue preventing the UV checker from being applied to or removed from meshes with no materials (by @DoctorPresto in 145)

Experimental Features:

• Fixed an issue preventing the specified depot path from being passed to the material builder. (by @philipl in 141)
