Custom Cloud Rig

CloudRig is a powerful rigging add-on for Blender, built to extend and enhance the capabilities of the default Rigify add-on. With advanced automation and customizable features, CloudRig allows animators and riggers to create complex, production-ready rigs with ease. This project enhances Blender's CloudRig add-on by introducing the ability to set a custom basename for your rig. The basename dynamically updates key elements of the rig and generates a UI panel category that corresponds to the basename.

Features

1. Custom Basename Support (RIGIFY Integrated):
   • Define a custom basename using the rigify_rig_basename property in the Armature's data.
   • Automatically rename:
     • The RIG object and its associated RIG data.
     • The META object and its associated META data.
     • The Text Block used for UI Panel
2. Dynamic UI Panel Category:
   • The CLOUD RIG UI panel appears in the N-panel under a category matching the rig's basename
   • Combine Cloud Rig Panel with RIGIFY panel if both are used
   • If no basename is set, it defaults to "CloudRig".
