MustardUI
MustardUI is an extension that provides an intuitive and easy-to-use user interface for human models.
Features
The main features are:
- Configuration panel to create your UI without writing a single line of Python code
- Automatic Outfit and Hair recognition, with possible manual additions
- Full outfit support: possibility to combine parts from different outfits, automatic mask/armature layers switcher for the body and the hair on outfit selection, and many other functionalities
- Settings like Subsurface Scattering and Normals Auto Smooth can be toggled on/off for all model parts in one click
- Any Blender property can be added with a simple right-click to Body, Outfit and Hair panels
- Diffeomorphic Daz Morphs support for Daz based models
- Simplify button to quickly turn off modifiers and settings that can decrease Viewport performance
- Various other tools for animators (physics panel, lattice tool, and many others)
Requirements
The only requirement is to have an Armature (which can be a simple armature or a more complex Rigify/MHX/ARP rig), from which you can start creating your UI.
Quick start
- Just click on any Armature.
- If the model already has a MustardUI, you can start using the UI to tweak the model.
- Otherwise, a configuration mode should appear (remember to enable Developer mode in the extension settings to start creating your UIs!).
Configuration and Tutorials
For creators of models, be sure to follow the Developer Guide!
Some video tutorials are available on Youtube (NSFW!).
What's New
2025.5.0 May 3rd, 2025
Breaking Changes
The Morphs panel had to be completely redone, as the implementation was old and could not be extended to non-Diffeomorphic models. Therefore all models currently using the Morph panel should have their Morphs updated. To simplify the process, a Warning panel will appear with a button to update the Morphs. If the conversion is not required, simply press X to hide the update notification.
Changelog
- Feature: The Morph panel has been completely redone. It can now be used with Generic type models instead of being available only for Diffeomorphic models, simplifying the import of similar morphs/shape keys to the UI. The Diffeomorphic models also benefit from new options, like the property to order or remove specific morphs from the UI list, or add completely new custom sections.
- Feature: Support for Diffeomorphic Genesis 9 models.
- Feature (Experimental): Pie menu when clicking Alt + Shift + M.
- Enhancement: Improved the recently implemented tool for adding physics to Outfits. As an Advanced option, it is now possible to see which outfits are affected by each Physics Item, and eventually remove some of them. Moreover, an additional fix possibility has been added to avoid binding problems.
- Fix: The renaming tool might generate errors in some rare cases.
- Fix: Fixed some issues with the Setup Outfits Physics tool.
- Fix: Fixed an issue that might prevent the Physics panel to affect Hair objects.
- Fix: Bone Driver physics items were not working properly in the UI (e.g. the influence and collision setting buttons were not working).
- Fix: Bone Driver physics items were added with uncorrect type in the panel when using the Creator Tool to generate one.
- Fix: Fixed an error with Eevee Optimized Normals (input node type)
- Fix: Fixed some issues that might prevent the Morphs panel to appear
- Fix: Other small bug fixes.
- UI: The Reset Pose button has been moved to the Armature panel.
This help to manage easy an character. I test on 4.3.2 after install I need to check debug and experimental because is not added from first time on interface , after check all feature the tab show this extension. Lack of video tutorial about how can be used with Blender 3D.
