    any method to create a full body morph including gens?

    Hi Is there a good method to 'sculpt' ( using say Zbrush, Blender, etc ) a full body morph and the gens at the same time? I know they can be done separately, but I'm looking for a method that keeps both the body and gens together during sculpting, then able to be returned to vam. Any 'pipeline'...

    Guides How to use Hand Tracking in VAM | 2.0 (Quest)

    Can you explain how you got the individual fingers tracked? All I seem to get is the two basic grab poses. Plus I notice jittering. Did you find this too? Ta!

    Poll - Environments release: what type do you enjoy more?

    I'm looking for a hybrid - Dynamic Lighting I can choose/direct, but with ambient occlusion style shadows backed into the environment which would obviously be non interactive. I basically make scenes that are centred around a comfortable place to sit or lay, etc, I don't need exploring options...

    Question Hand Tracking

    I have a Quest2 and use Virtual Desktop, and I'd like to try hand tracking in vam. Previously I tried LeapMotion but had no luck. Is anyone having any luck with the latest implentations via VD? I have tried the guide that was posted a few months back, but it seems to be out of date and I'm not...

    Question Making pre 'vamified' environments

    Could anyone kindly suggest a guide or some clues to making environments/scenes already vamified and ready to light? I know the plug in exists that 'vamifys' environments, but I'd like to explore making native rooms/scenes/rooms. I already have some modelled environments of my own made in C4D -...

    Question Rokoko Motion capture in VAM

    Many years ago, I was looking for a mocap solution for a series of shorts I wanted to do. Literally nothing worked out of the box. All solutions had lots of tweaking and cleaning after capture. Even movie grade mocap needs cleaning and tweaking. in the end, I went for the 'free option' -...

    Hardware & Peripherals advice

    Yes VD only seems to implement hand tracking but not finger tracking, something to do with Occulus I beleive, according to their Discord. Regarding pass through, I wasnt blown away by that either. However, a while back I had moddelled my living room\playing area in Blender. I now have it as an...

    Question Whats the best VAM pass through option?

    Thank you atani. I found the whole experience quite frustrating and not worth the end result to be honest. Its easier to recreate my play area as a 3d model and import it into vam tbh.

    Hardware & Peripherals advice

    Hi peted, Ive literally just been through this journey and finally set up and tested the leap hardware today. Be warned, none of the options are as good as you might expect. I was hoping the Leap would be a more accurate and realistic experience but it really is quite disapointing. Barely better...

    Question Whats the best VAM pass through option?

    Is anyone successfuly using VAM, Virtual Desktop and Quest2 with pass though? If so, and you're feeling generous with your precious time, could you kindly guide me through the stages to get it running? I'm currently hitting walls and dead links and starting to wonder if its an abandoned idea...

    Question Can you totally disable all character functions to speed up FPS?

    I know its possible to import static character models into vam via unityasset, but can you just load up a scene with plenty of vam models, but without all the phsics and functionality? - basically, the bare geometry? Is there a plug in or feature that simpy turns everything off? Ta

    Did VAM or Virtual desktop On Quest change over last few months?

    After a few months break from using VAM, I fired it back up over the weekend and noticed major stuttering and lag from controllers - even on simple scenes. Interaction with menus caused the same problems too. Not only was it laggy, but there was a bizarre graphic effect similar to Queens Boheium...

    More than 2 lights: bad shadows

    Do you have skybox lighting on in the Scene Lighting tab? It lights a character up independenly of the invisible lights and washes out the shadows.

    Lighting bespoke assets - scene lighting versus lights. Any help?

    Hey DJ, thanks for that info. I never realised it existed and I've just had a play around. It appears to be a good middle ground solution. Thanks!!
