- Experimental Body Blend pipeline to combine 39+ archetypes (including custom child bodies) with live weight updates.
- Smart Wearables system for clothing/hair fitting, featuring a seamless Marvelous Designer round-trip (MD Live).
- Live Corrective Sculpting on top of poses, with the ability to Write edited shape keys back to the .dna file for Unreal Engine.
- 
- Everything lives in a single **MetaBridge DNA** tab in the 3D Viewport sidebar (`N` panel). (Character assembly is integrated as the top section of the main panel.)
