Hello, is there a way to apply modifiers with Shapekey, but ignore Armature.

I need to apply mirror and subdiv for Fbx exports, and your plugin seems to be the most stable form all that I have tested.

Thanks

When I try to enable GRET 0.3.0 by clicking a checkbox in addons tab, blender won't let me do it and prints this error log -

I am installing it on Blender 3.1.2, tried 3.1.0 but it prints the same exact error. 0.2.0 GRET works just fine.

I've downloaded the add on and have blender 2.93.7. I can install it, but when searching it does not appear. Tried to remove and install again and also older versions on gret.

Blender poses only want the posed bones to have keyframes data. Unreal pose assets require zero transforms keyframes. For exporting a blender pose (for example for faceARKit face shapes) to unreal I need to manually keyframe the rest pose along with the changed bones. But this break's blenders about to blend poses.

Is there a way to add an option to automatically add or strip zero keyframes from an animation to allow non destructive conversion between blender and unreal poses?

After installing the addon in Blender 3.4 and trying to create a rope there is an error: AttributeError: 'Mesh' object has no attribute 'use_customdata_edge_crease'

also, when trying to create collision mesh there is another error: AttributeError: 'Mesh' object has no attribute 'use_customdata_vertex_bevel'

Probably related to https://developer.blender.org/rB291c313f80b4cc and https://developer.blender.org/rBa8a454287a27

By using buffer objects with type matching the 'co' data (single precision float), in foreach_set and foreach_get, Blender will directly memcpy the data into/out of the buffer instead of iterating and casting each element to the correct type. This results in slightly faster foreach_set and foreach_get calls.

It's probably not much of a timesave unless the mesh being operated on is huge (or ends up huge from its modifiers) and/or has a ton of shape keys.

Here's the foreach_getset code in Blender's source: https://github.com/blender/blender/blob/594f47ecd2d5367ca936cf6fc6ec8168c2b360d0/source/blender/python/intern/bpy_rna.c#L5228 The lines containing !buffer_is_compat are where it'll swap to iteration if the buffer isn't compatible with the data, the code for compatible buffers is right before.

Here's the code I used for benchmarking along with results in the comments:

import bpy
import numpy as np
import timeit

# Requirements:
# In object mode with an active mesh object in current scene that has shape keys


def orig_get(my_list, vertices):
    my_list[:] = [0.0] * (len(vertices) * 3)
    vertices.foreach_get('co', my_list)

def np_get(my_array, vertices):
    my_array.resize(len(vertices) * 3, refcheck=False)
    vertices.foreach_get('co', my_array)
    
def put(my_list_or_array, vertices):
    vertices.foreach_set('co', my_list_or_array)
    

trials = 1000


get_setup = "basis=bpy.context.object.data.shape_keys.key_blocks[0]"
put_setup_orig = get_setup + ";my_list = [];orig_get(my_list, basis.data)"
put_setup_np = get_setup + ";my_array = np.empty(0, dtype=np.single);np_get(my_array, basis.data)"

• Workflow: i.e. A real-time link from Blender to UE is like unity's meshSync plugin
• Description: i.e.

Hi！I recently noticed that Unity's MehSync plugin has been able to sync most of Blender's data in real time. Just bone data may not be perfect for games, but it's almost done with USD data transfer.

The USD Hydra plug-in developed by AMD is currently the only way to dynamically link USD to Blender. However, the supported data is too few. Blender's meeting last week was still discussing the follow-up development route of USD, so it is difficult to make progress in the short term.

So I'm really looking forward to a plugin like Unity's MeshSync that links to Blender in real time, which is a breakthrough for both game development and film production, allowing almost any Blender user project to seamlessly connect to UE, even if they've only learned the basics of UE for five minutes. 

Hopefully you will be able to develop a similar real-time synchronization feature before Blender fully supports USD (which I think is at least a few years away), thanks for your efforts!

… Frame Range feature :)

I've updated here on our internal tools, it's working fine from what I've tested :) Never did a Pull Request before, so excuse me if I'm doing something wrong!
