TactGlove - bHaptics reveals the first consumer-ready wireless haptic gloves at CES2022
Oooh, How did you do that? does it just trigger all motors from the single controller haptic or do you get individual digits? -
Guides How to use Hand Tracking in VAM | 2.0 (Quest)
Yeah, the grabbing and yeeting things around when using hand tracking sucks. Also, I tried full body, but despite having 5 trackers on my lower half only 3 showed up in VaM? -
Guides How to use Hand Tracking in VAM | 2.0 (Quest)
Thanks for this guide. I had already got the hand/finger tracking working in VRChat but didn't think to try it in VaM! However... It doesn't work for me. I did all this but for some reason the fingers don't work individually, just the whole hand goes from flat to fist without the ability to move... -

Tracking the real sex doll in order to position 3d model
SlimeVR I have not tried, but the way you parent an atom to a tracker when I last tried it in VaM suggested you could easily use a SlimeVR tracker for an object. The drift on cheap IMU trackers would be a problem though. You really want Optical tracking (either inside out or base station) if you...- Jiraiya

how to export VAM mocap to other software(mmd or fbx)?
Odd, It worked for me. Not that I got the BVH to work in Unity (exporting it from blender did something odd). Did you make sure you set the output to BVH instead of video and set the duration? -
Performance Patch (up to 30% more physics speed)
Thank you for this amazing patch. -
Performance Patch (up to 30% more physics speed)
"My patch fixed this, only once it has been changed from 0.00 to another value it gets iterated through" So I don't need to untick "preload morphs" on every Var and because that won't make any difference with your patch? I mean, I still did it and load times are dramatically improved which is... -
Performance Patch (up to 30% more physics speed)
I saw morphs discussed at the start of this then no real conclusion. hijku said: One part that I can't understand: Why VaM with ~5k vars makes my scenes to have like 20-30 fps less than clean vam instance. I understand that a lot of vars can slow down startup and loading times but why does it... -
Plugins + Scripts CPU Performance Patch (Up to 30% faster physics, up to 60% more FPS)
To put some numbers to the improvement I got... I upgraded from a 3060 to a 4070 super. 3060 benchmarked at 90fps (gpu benchmark) and the 4070 super was at 184fps. I was very happy with that increase. Then I installed this patch. The 4070 GPU benchmark is now giving 218fps! That's the GPU... -
Plugins + Scripts CPU Performance Patch (Up to 30% faster physics, up to 60% more FPS)
"This will heat up the CPU most though." I haven't actually noticed any overheating. I will check the temps when I try the latest version. -
Can I clean out the morph directory?
I went through and unticked that preload on every var. WOW. what a difference. I didn't notice it so much in frame rate but I did notice it in everything else load times are amazingly decreased. Not just initial opening VaM but menu operations later on. It's worth it just for that. The whole... -
Can I clean out the morph directory?
Sorry to dig up an old post, but does unticking this box "preload morph" also help with the FPS drop from having many morphs in your VaM install? -
FBX exporter plugin
VRRenderer has a BVH export option. That seems to work. I can load the exported anim in Blender. I have not yet managed to export from Blender to FBX for Unity in a way that works, I get jittery broken animations with the avatar mangled and facing backwards.- Jiraiya

TactGlove - bHaptics reveals the first consumer-ready wireless haptic gloves at CES2022
I recently discovered there is an OPEN version of bHaptics hardware that you can put on an esp-wroom-32 dev board and build your own haptics devices. I have started building a haptic vest but there is no reason you can't make a glove just as easily...
