VaM 1.x New to vam. Need some help with understanding how the program works.

I’ve watched a couple of videos so far, and I’ve learned some body positioning, changing characters, and body morphs. Just some basic stuff. Now I’m trying to figure out how to do animations. I‘ve found a key frame animation video from JustlookinForNothing, and that’s still too technical for me. I just wanna learn how to use plugins, know which one are essential currently, how to add animations to characters, how to match animations to a pair of person atoms, how to save animations, how to make a woman moan at the correct timing as the guy shoots ropes, how to make characters perform a series of actions with a button that floats in the room. that sort of stuff.

This game is amazing, and I’m excited to make some expansive animations. Also, is it frowned upon to take some animations from other people’s scenes and adjust them to taste? If It is, then I’ll keep them to myself. How would be able to do that?

Do you guys have any recommendations for videos and learning?

All the guides/tutorials are in the Wiki > Guides, check everything you want, multiple times if needed. JustLookingForNothing's videos are several years old by now, many things have changed since then, so try to see more recent guides basides those.

Animations will require a lot of time and effort, well, just like with anything if you want to be good at it. Worthwhile? That depends on you, to me it was.
For personal use, you can take any content from anyone and adjust to your interests. What you can't do is share content made by others that goes against their content licenses (see policies/copyright pages).

My goodness, I didn‘t know there was such a wealth of knowledge in the wiki, and updated at that. Thank you for the recommendation.
Do you know if they include recommended plugins for streamlined animation processes?

Now that I got my handsful, I’ll probably won’t be back for a while. lol

If you're going to see it all, see you in a few years

Recommended plugins are subjective, there's many ways to do things, just go with whatever you want and see if that works out for you.

I think the most used plugin for animation should be Timeline by AcidBubbles. Also MoCap is a great way to get realistic animations, but you would a good setup for it (for example good trackers or great cameras + software, there are different ways, big topic).


The wiki has great tutorials for it in the "scene creation" section. For example Ispinox has several tutorials about it, also one about cum clothing (what you mentioned). Also there are beginner tutorials on youtube.
