New Model and MustardUI Extension 0.32

Hi everyone!

Lately I didn't have a lot of time to dedicate to Blender, sorry about that. I had some personal issues and there was nothing I could do about it, even if I wanted. :(

But I don't want to bore you with my personal stuffs, let me update a bit on what I tried to do lately...

New model: Bunny from The First Descendant

A new model for me to test the features of Blender 4.2! Hope you 'll like it. :)

As always, you can find more preview pictures in the archive (Patreon rules :) ).

New features:

• Shader for Eevee NEXT
  Although the old shader was working surprisingly well also on the new engine, I made a new shader for the new Eevee NEXT. I tried to completely rewrite the shader for the occasion (still WIP, I hope you'll share your ideas/feedbacks when the model is available).

• Physics
  This time I'll include physics for almost everything, for instance on the usual spots, but also for hair, lips, etc.. Check (some, more to come) on the preview GIFs here (if they work, on my browser they are broken) or on the Archive.

• New Body and Outfits
  Don't know how many will notice the difference, but for this model I tried to create a new body which is slightly different from my previous models.
  Moreover, I added some old outfits, but also chose some new ones that I hope will give a bit more freshness.

• Light version
  I'm also planning to release a "light" version for those who are not interested in all fancy body/emotions morphs bundled with the model, and in principle should be lighter on your system resources.

• Emotions
  I added some new emotions to this model, but I'm not sure at the moment if it is worthy to keep them as morphs as in previous models. Most probably I will bake them as shape keys, improving performances at the cost of having to deal with a bit more complex facial bone posing for adjustements.

Note: the model will be available soon, when MustardUI 0.32 is approved on the Blender Extension website.

MustardUI 0.32

Lately I was also busy updating the UI for Blender 4.2.

I'm waiting for the release of the new version of MustardUI on the official Blender Extension website before releasing the model. The new extension support will enable automatic updates of MustardUI and a better and easier installation process that in principle should solve most of the issues people have when installing/updating the UI (such as duplicated addon instance, etc..).

And one last thing..
