4 years ago Nope, you're definitively right. And for this task, all tools are ready (if there's no bug of course).
- Changing base expression morph if needed.
- changing combined expression also, if needed. But, what I'm guessing is that the problem comes from the precision of the morph. Let me explain :
- When you create/edit a morph, you will do it with the best precision needed.
- But for now, the base expression morphs are stored with a precision of 4 (like 0.6285) and combined expressions are 4 also.
- The sculpt of closed eyes is very precise, maybe the precision is lost when saving the morph. Also, phenotypes are saved in a precision of 2. If phenotype change the eye for a reason, maybe the result is worse than expected.
But anyway, it's a good reason to test the tool.

The tools categories don't change, but the content for "Model edition" becomes a 2 dop-down lists with title above, and then you choose the tool you want :
Plus, the code is easier to write, no need for each new tool to add 2 classes, with a bunch of options to complete. It's way more simpler to add new tools, and no risk to weigh down more the list.

What's this ? As I developed a morph editor, and Animate1978 develops his own tool for creating a new model, it's pretty obvious that sooner or later that MB-Lab will be a complete tool for creating characters from model to the shader. The list is pretty big.
But the size taken by the tools could be huge very fast and could bother the readibility of the addon, in an user point of view
Proposal : a new tab
Like this.
But I'm not happy with that : I don't think that those 4 main categories are good. I'm thinking more about this :
What I propose anyway is a framework for the next level of the addon. Separate the tools for a simple user that just want to create characters developed by others, and the creator himself. The more everyone here go deep inside the addon, the more that all can be customized and done by anyone who has skill in sculpting, because everything can be done in Blender, so can be saved in files because Blender is an opened soft.
Additional context I first tried to do this in another add-on, to avoid polluting the actual. But it doesn't work. At all.
So what do you think about this ? Animate1978 / team, do you like the idea or not ? (I won't be mad if you don't like, it's just a suggestion). I could also do a fork, do my stuff and integrate it after it's done ? (I mean, the framework, not all the tools inside)
