    Question Looking for interactable scenes with more freedom. (plus follow up question about creating custom scenes)

    "Life" is best created with lots of layers of animation playing on top of each other. This is a question asked often, I refer you to my answer in this thread: https://hub.virtamate.com/threads/it-been-a-while-what-are-essential-plugins-to-make-her-alive.48514/#post-144279

    Is there any plugin that can make comics?

    SuperShot was mentioned. That should be helpful especially because you can script it, for example via LogicBricks. So you can easily take screenshots from the exact same positions, make slight scene modifications and repeat. If each image for your comic is setup as a subscene, you could even...

    Need Help Optimizing VaM VR Performance with High-End PC

    You on the other hand may want to look at a better graphics card.

    Need Help Optimizing VaM VR Performance with High-End PC

    Uh, an i7-8700K (from 2017?) may be still "fine" for some regular games...but for VaM you need RAW single core CPU power. You probably shouldn't buy anything with less than 8 cores these days, but more cores won't help, at least not with VaM. You are basically pulling the handbrake on that RTX 4080.

    developing plugins

    Looks like an issue with VAR packaging. Make sure to use VaM to create VAR, don't attempt to create your own ZIP file. For more I would need more info, like look at the thing in its entirety.

    Question Why does the character always shake slightly?

    Could be you put your character in a pose with too much tension. The control nodes you use to pose a character are attached to the body via "springs". If you put the character into an impossible position, causing too much tension on the springs, it may cause the shaking you describe. Some tips...

    Question Holding objects

    There are a number of way for doing this: AnimationPattern (beginner) Timeline plugin (intermediate) IdlePoser + LinearAnimation plugins (advanced) Potentially relevant for even more advanced animation: LogicBricks tutorial around a hand animation that is moving up and down. This is not...

    Question Holding objects

    You are attaching one thing to another. One we call "Parent" and the other the "Child". The parent is the one with control, in the screenshot below that would be "rHand". The child is the attached one, in the screenshot below that would be the TV remote. Makes sense? Don't think too much about...

    Solved Eyes animated

    Instead of eyeTargetControl you can also make the Person look at an Empty atom. For that set "Eyes Look At" to "Custom" instead of "Target", that allows you to choose anything. That Empty you can then hide, if you like.

    Question Scripting Global Variables

    Every plugin has its own compilation context, it does not know the code of other plugins. However, there are a number of methods for plugins to communicate: Putting multiple MVRScript into a single plugin You can use a *.cslist to just add multiple MVRScript. They will all be in the same...

    Question How to know VAM custom classes properties and methods for scripting?

    For that specifically a look at my PowerHandles plugin (part of Essentials) may or may not help.

    Question How to know VAM custom classes properties and methods for scripting?

    Its probably best to start by looking at plugins from others. Start with something simple and work your way up. There is no VaM documentation, but you can use ILSpy to look at VaM_Data\Managed\Assembly-CSharp.dll. It allows you to look at VaM's codebase. Technically its decompiling the DLL...

    Logic "if A then B"

    Sounds like the SelectChoice brick from LogicBricks might be worth a look: https://hub.virtamate.com/resources/logicbricks.1975/

    Benchmark Result Discussion

    And yes....I know the Benchmark is not really suited anymore for current high-end PCs. The proper way to do it would be adding new, more demanding scenes and add a separate "high-end mode" that just runs those. But I don't have the time. Can't just take any existing scene, it has to be reliable...

    Benchmark Result Discussion

    @Seraphim @suprtt Please stop posting results from a modified Benchmark under "Official Benchmark". If you want to modify it...sure, change the title to "Seraphim's Benchmark" or whatever and the color for "Overall Result" should be something other than green and red, too. It should be obvious...
