    Hmm, ok. Make walls, floor,ceiling of a HUGE size around the city scape - so everything is inside a "room".

    Question locked out of UI panel

    Thanks for the reply. Not VR just desktop. I RE-tried with the error log open first, it threw 2 errors about mp3 files - trying to get from custom folder that doesn't exist in the var. BUT it opened ok, and I had access to UI. ?? Have noticed in the past that some addon's do not unload when...

    Question locked out of UI panel

    So I have run across this 3 times now, I load a scene and it runs ok, but I can't toggle on the UI with mouse or "U" key. Which means I cant load a new scene and have to use Windows Task Manager to close and restart VAM. Is this somehow intended?

    Looks Kirsten

    Maybe I wasn't supposed to turn on menu...FYI it is blank. Does that mean there's more to come? She really IS a cutie, as if you didn't know. Feed that into a hologram/transporter...(get me in trouble!)

    Could you put a giant invisible box around the whole city? That way the actors would always be "inside". (spitball)

    You have a weird idea of what a bathroom is for. Video those turds and record the farts? Hey babe, pass the hand weight, I am constipated! LOL

    O.M.G.!!! I just started to look at this. I clicked on the pic of the Irish pub and found "myself" outside of it. Started to drift around and am stunned at the size and detail. went into the apt/store? with all the books. But have stopped mid-search because of the sign down in the subway - VERY...

    Solved Is there a way to export animations from timeline into a format I can edit in Blender?

    That figures. Haven't done any programming since just before C! was introduced. Eon's ago, so I won't be attempting ANY plugin work. Thanks for confirming.

    is timeline better in desktop or vr?

    That is the love/hate I have going on. Stuck in desktop world but TRYING to create a VamStory. Moving actors around is SUCH a pain, I figure my best bet is to cut&paste movements from timelines (made from mo-caps) but even that is awkward using the tiny window provided in the UI. Maybe I am just...

    Solved Is there a way to export animations from timeline into a format I can edit in Blender?

    I had a similar question - but your answer confuses me. I was hoping to find a timeline editor that would look more "like" a video editor somewhat in the fashion of the mocap editors I have seen on the web. they look a lot like video editors I have used in the past. Don't want to make external...

    Question Can anyone make a tutorial on using the CheesyFX's plug-in: PoseMe? Thank you!

    That is what Vectoria looks like? wow. THAT looks complicated. If you just want faces to practice on, why not take at shot at the Brady Bunch? Or the Simpsons (there is already a house for use in VAM). I played with Blender about 15 years ago long enough to know I will NEVER be a sculptor. I was...

    Question Can anyone make a tutorial on using the CheesyFX's plug-in: PoseMe? Thank you!

    So TRUE! We had an expression in the shop RTFM (Read The Fuckin Manual), after a tech call one of the other engineers made to a mfg, he busted a gut - the phone number spelled RTFM. I have been reading everything my Squirrely brain goes to (SO MANY rabbit holes) and making so many broken scenes...

    Question Can anyone make a tutorial on using the CheesyFX's plug-in: PoseMe? Thank you!

    When I was a working geek, I wrote a LOT of user manuals - mostly dealing with equipment setup and maintenance. As my tech writing prof would say, "Tell them what you are going to tell them, Then tell them, and tell them what you JUST told them. The first part will be used by your boss to...

    How does this compare to the Spy Cam plugins - performance wise?

    Question Can I add copyrighted music pack for scenes to vamhub recourse page?

    So, is there any advantage for speed or quality of the format of sounds being put into the assetbundle? I know wav & FLAC files have a slight quality advantage over mp3, but is that lost when put into a bundle? I don't mean to nag, I know you are very busy, but the engineer in me is curious.
