Plugins + Scripts Snapshot Manager

[hentailondon]

Hey MCKlinton, I would love to use this plugin but it does not seem compatible with PostProcessing by moyashi. Your UI simply does not appear when post processing is also used in the scene.
Is there a possible workaround?

Kind regards

Thanks for the info. I think I have understanding what is causing this. Looks like PostProcessing script is doing some render layer masking. I will try to fix this in the next release, I think it should work if I add my UI objects to some of the non-masked layers

Hello,

Is this a Scene plugin? A Session plugin? Or do I add it to the person? Each person?

Sorry, there's no instructions so I'm guessing.

Also you said,

"Use keyboard shortcuts for toggling the UI, taking snapshot, overwriting lastly applied snapshot, removing lastly applied snapshot."

Will you share the keyboard shortcuts?

The UI is on my screen and won't go away. There is no button or anything to tell it to go away. Please share the keyboard shortcuts.

Hi,
You can add it as scene plugin, session plugin or any atom plugin, it should work just fine.

If you open the plugin settings, there you can select the shortcut to your liking and then press "Save as default" and they will be persistent.

Woudl it be possible to add a "Active" or "Last Applied" indication, can be simple hightlight or dot, but would really help if I could quickly see which was last used (especially when editing multiple and haven't names them yet.

It's working perfectly now.
Super useful plugin, thanks for the update!

True, that would be useful! Will be implemented in the next version

Thanks so much for adding those, would it be possible to have a scroll bar (also requested by cyberdelique) and an option to open on the right of screen rather than left (my VAM UI is on left so I have to hide the VAM UI everytime I want to access the Snapshot Manager UI).

I already started to implement scrolling. I'll check if that positioning can be also done in the next release.

Hi, I would love to use this plugin, but I can't get it to work in VR. Even if I switch to desktop there are isues (before, the UI didn't show up, latest version, the UI is rotated 180dg from viewer and I don't see how to rotate or reposition it).
Isn't it just possible to integrate it in the VaM UI, just like the shortcut config of this plugin already is? Maybe external UI default/optional?

Hi, sorry to hear you are having problems. Check the video, this is how it looks in my VR, so what I understand from you:
1) When you press left UI pointer in VR mode, UI opens up but it's rotated 180 degrees, but in which direction? Are you seeing it as mirrored or is it upside down?
2) Which issues you have in the desktop mode?
3) Which VR headset are you using? I guess that shouldn't matter too much but I can then check if there are some specialties.
4) Are you using any other plugins with SnapshotManager? If so, try to test with only SnapshotManager plugin added and see if it makes any difference.

Unfortunately, I don't have extra time to make plugin UI. I choose to make use Unity canvas UI so it would be then easier to transfer Vam2 if/when it is supporting similar plugins.

 

[Wakumiko]

Thank you for the support!
Here are some things I found:
1) The 180dg thing happens when you load the plugin (scene plugin) while left VR controller is not active. Once it is activated, the UI snaps to the controller. (I think it once did not want to do that, but I cannot reproduce that...)
2) The issue in desktop mode is probably due to the fact I switched in VR mode to desktop. I tried to start in pure desktop mode and the plugin showed up without problem.
3) I use Pico4 for the moment since my HTC Vive broke down again...
4) Lots of session plugins. If I have the chance of running without them, I wil try.

Also thank you for making me understand why you choose this kind of UI. Guess the only problem is I like to use VaM with only the right controller active...

Hi McKlinton, I have some suggestions for potential further updates.

- To make the plugin usable as session plugin similiar to how Slimy Screentools does it. I think he creates an instance in the scene which feeds the season plugin with the saved presets (or snapshot) info of the specific scene.

- To allow keybind combinations like "CTRL+I", because when searching for morphs i press I and the snapshot UI opens up. It would be nice to have a hotkey combination, to keep the function on the left side of the keyboard.
Alternatively you could open the plugin up to acid bubbles keybindings, this plugin then can take care of the hotkeys, which support hotkey combinations.
