3. Automated Basic Setup Pipeline

When running the setup, the add-on executes the following automated steps:

• Set Up Character: Imports the .fbx mesh, cleans vertex groups, and standardizes bone hierarchies.
• Set Up Materials: Replaces default Blender materials with custom Festivity Toon Shader nodes, automatically binding diffuse (_fuse), lightmap (_map), and color ramp (_amp) textures.
• Set Up Outlines: Applies geometry-node inverted-hull outline modifiers to all character meshes for crisp line art rendering.
• Fix Transformations: Resets location, rotation, and scale transformations while linking facial drivers to light vectors.
• Rig Character: Configures control shapes and facial bone drivers.
• Finish Setup: Switches Color Management to Standard to preserve raw texture color accuracy.
