Version: 0.5.6 - stage 1

Development Playlist : For Update Previews and new feature showcases(YT)

Update Quick Recap:

Rig Edge Line selection:

this is aimed at facilitating the rigging process of single-sided quad hair strips for vtuber models and clothes, by simply selecting a single line of edges and a name for the armature to create the bones into, create a connected bone chain on a per vertex basis, with automatic direction based on local z difference

Extensions:

over time a few stand alone scripts where made, so i combined them into the add-ons that can be activated in the AlxOverHaul Preferences

[3.6]Batch Stanford .ply exporter: A Selection Based Single-Mesh-Single-File exporter with automatic folder creation in the specified directory
[removed temporarily due to 4.0 crashes]

There are a lot of things that can be quite distracting, i found myself loosing more time navigating menus than making progress in my models, what pushed me to make an add-on was weight painting, going back and forth between modes and having to constantly re-select the same thing over and over just to switch between Pose and Rest Position for a small change made rigging an immense time sink, after that adding new things became a habit and from being originally a personal add-on it grew enough that i ended up deciding to make it public after ~2 months

It became quickly routine, and i can not work without, i use this add-on myself pretty much everyday, i do my best to keep it bug free but i can't find everything myself, Report Anything you Encounter Here (github)

More To Come Soon
While The Current Features are functional and bug tested, new things can always be optimized with new ways to speed up work being added frequently, everyone's workflow is different and might not be covered yet, Don't refrain from Making Feature Requests Here
