    Plugins + Scripts PostMagic

    Well, you add cameras, SuperShot adds cameras, PostMagic adds cameras.....everything renders their own images without knowing about each other. Without proper care and understanding what you are doing it will not work 🤷‍♂️

    Plugins + Scripts PostMagic

    Have not tried recently, but this should just work. Note that you may need stronger, more pronounced settings due to the higher resolution in VR.

    Plugins + Scripts PostMagic

    While this has nothing to do with global illumination, yes, other plugins that do post-effects or modify the render pipeline are unlikely to be compatible. The only reason Eosin's plugin works is because that is based on SuperShot, which knows about PostMagic and handles things accordingly...

    VaM 1.x How Can I Improve Low-Quality Scenes in VAM?

    I disagree a bit with the Vamifier plugin, but otherwise, yes, very much this. Light is the most important factor. Anyway, I like to mention the use of SkyMagic for global illumination that actually matches the scene. Complicated to use, yes, but it can help a LOT. Especially with shiny...

    Plugins + Scripts MacGruber Essentials

    AFAIK, AssetVamifier just swaps materials/shaders with the VaM default ones. It doesn't change the render pipeline or apply post-effects. Take a screenshot of your scene. Apply any saturation, contrast or other color changing effect to that screenshot using Photoshop, GIMP or whatever other...

    Plugins + Scripts MacGruber Essentials

    You can't have two plugins messing with the render pipeline to achieve effects. At least not without the plugins knowing about each other. @moyashi seems to add their own camera for rendering, which may just not be compatible. My own PostMagic of course knows about SuperShot and vice versa, so...

    VaM 1.x Any suggestions to improve my Kinky-room?

    Oh, right. Dirt decals! Just a tiny bit here and there, it does a lot. I guess the question is whether you want to make a room that is supposed to be used by other creators for their scenes? Or you want to build your own scenes? Because IMHO, lighting should be tuned to a scene to bring out the...

    VaM 1.x Any suggestions to improve my Kinky-room?

    Maybe I share some thoughts that went into creating my SecretRoom asset: The modular room allows creators to use it as they see fit. Various things are also customizable, e.g. allowing you to move the hooks up/down and of course you can add those beams everywhere so you can have them where you...

    VaM 1.x MacGruber Supershot Freezes

    Set the resolution multiplier to 1, then increase the output resolution. Well, yes. If you want quality, you need to spend the memory 🤷‍♂️ But 2x resolution multiplier (or just 8K output and downscaling externally) plus 4x MSAA should still give you the equivalent of a theoretical 16x MSAA...

    VaM 1.x MacGruber Supershot Freezes

    Ok, I see. As per your settings you do an 8K screenshot, which is then downscaled to 4K. The downscaling step takes about 1/3 additional VRAM, so you can save there a bit. On your screenshot the plugin is telling you...in red text...that it needs about 3.1 GB just for itself. If you got only 6...

    VaM 1.x MacGruber Supershot Freezes

    What does "freezing" mean for you? If you take an 8K screenshot and do NOT use the downscale feature, it is normal that it takes a while to save that image to disk. Especially PNG export (default setting as its the best quality) is very slow and single-threaded on the main thread. Depending on...

    Plugins + Scripts LogicBricks

    Hm, you could build this using a StateMachine brick combined with a SelectChoice brick. Not a nice way, though. If I remember correctly, though, someone made a modified version of the SequenceMachine brick (LogicBricks2 or something?), which can also go backwards, which should make this a bit...

    VaM 1.x Laptop or desktop?

    Desktop PCs are significantly more powerful. The only reason for a laptop is either lack of space in your apartment or need for mobility. Just as an example, comparison between the desktop-version RTX5070 and its mobile version. Its a completely different card, significantly less powerful...but...

    VaM 1.x Artifacts Popping up on screen

    White or black pixel blobs are usually caused by bad/degenerated geometry (e.g. a triangle of zero size). Normally its just a single pixel and therefore often overlooked, but it becomes amplified when certain PostMagic effects are used. It should be always in the same spots on the geometry...

    Plugins + Scripts MacGruber Essentials

    Some creator managed to include Essentials or parts of it in their own VAR instead of properly referencing it. There is ZERO reason to do it this way. If there was some meaningful improvement to SuperShot, it should be release as separate package. Also possibly violating copyright as repacking...
