XGen Guide Collection/Palette + Description Rename Tools

• Rename XGen Guide Collection/Description
  

XGen Scalp Geo Rename

• Added extra layers of safeguard measures in code in renaming of the .xgen files. Users should now be able to rename a scalp mesh even if the name is part of the XGen collection/description names 
  
• Ex. If a scalp geo is named as ‘head’ and the XGen collection/description is named as ‘head_col/head_des’. This will work now.
  

Deep Backup Tool:

• To be able to safeguard all the renaming tools introduced, this tool has undergone a decent change.
  

• Deep backup will now make a copy of the entire xgen folders and store them in the data folder. 
  
• After a deep backup, your scene will be saved, and another scene will be saved (in the scene folder) with a .temp suffix. The tool will open the .temp file after deep backup. This is to prevent Maya attributes getting saved into the deep backup file in the data folder.
  
• It will now also work for users that save maya format with .mb. 
  

XGen IG Guides to Curves

• Converts Interactive Groom guides to curves
  

Guide Color Tool:

• Guide color random settings should now respect the color’s value. It now takes in the Color Random value as a %, then adds to and minus from the color value to get the minimum and maximum value of the color.
  
• Example. If the color value set in the layer is 0.30, with a Random value of 20 (0.2), a value range of 0.1 and 0.5 will be sampled to color the guides. 
  

Curve To Curl:

• Attribute sliders are now lowered to 0.001 to allow more control for scenes that do not use real world measurements.
