Panel Reference
Every panel of the plug-in, one page each: what it is for, what it looks like, and every control it draws.
This page is generated from the plug-in's own registry by tools/guide_panels.py. Regenerate it after the registry changes.
1. MetaBridge DNA
Panel key: main
The MetaHuman assembler: point at a folder of MetaHumans, list the characters in it, and build one into this scene - then the face rig's own frame and the mGear rig's.
