The real question is how to convert a VaM look into a CUA. Morphs and other character data have long since stopped being the hard part. The real challenge is faithfully recreating the character's hairstyle, clothing, and the rest of the overall look.

This probably needs a bit of explanation. At the moment, both the runtime plugin and the AI-assisted conversion only support the A-pose. The main reason is simply that I don't have a suitable T-pose asset to work with. Surprisingly, after scanning all of my CUA assets, it turns out they're all...

The standard DAZ G2 21-bone rig. I'll put together a step-by-step "manual workflow" playbook when I get home.

That's completely doable. In fact, I originally planned to implement a feature for it. From a practical standpoint, though, it doesn't make much sense. Hair, for example, is much harder to handle properly on a CUA.

The plugin itself doesn't require AI to run. The AI is only there to automate the rig conversion process, so when you want to use your own custom CUA characters, you don't have to manually retarget and rename the bones.

Also, just to clarify a little: CUA Puppeteer itself does not convert a model into a humanoid CUA. It only drives an existing CUA if the skeleton can be recognized and mapped correctly. The difficult part is the step before that: taking a humanoid model, especially game-ripped characters like...

Thanks for the feedback! Although the examples in the documentation use AI models like Claude and OpenAI's Codex, in practice any agent-style LLM should be able to handle it, as long as it can execute CLI commands on your computer and create or modify files. The comments in Skill.md and the...

Updated Skill.md and the plugin to better support CUAs whose original rigs do not include a Pelvis bone. Renamed the companion example CUA package from R18SV_DancerPuppet_Roxy to R18SV_Puppeteer_Pack, and added a new male character, Mato. Credits: Mato mod version; the original release was by...

🚀 Quick start (Live) Add the CUA Puppeteer plugin to any atom (an Empty works well). Load one or more roxy CustomUnityAsset atoms as your puppets (or your own converted CUA). In the plugin: pick your Lead Person, then Add dancer (CUA) for each puppet atom. Put the lead at its base pose and...

Sorry, it looks like the previous package was corrupted. I should've checked it before uploading. :LOL:
