Bendy Bones: Advanced B-Bones for Easier + Simple Rigging
This commit/patch/branch brings a bunch of powerful new options for B-Bones and
for working with B-Bones, making it easier for animators to create their own
rigs, using fewer bones (which also means hopefully lighter + faster rigs ;)
This functionality was first demoed by Daniel at BConf15
Some highlights from this patch include:
* You can now directly control the shape of B-Bones using a series of properties
instead of being restricted to trying to indirectly control them through the
neighbouring bones. See the "Bendy Bones" panel...
* B-Bones can be shaped in EditMode to define a "curved rest pose" for the bone.
This is useful for things like eyebrows and mouths/eyelids
* You can now make B-Bones use custom bones as their reference bone handles,
instead of only using the parent/child bones. To do so, enable the
"Use Custom Reference Handles" toggle. If none are specified, then the BBone will
only use the Bendy Bone properties.
* Constraints Head/Tail option can now slide along the B-Bone shape, instead of
just linearly interpolating between the endpoints of the bone.
