• Happy Holidays Guest!

    We want to announce that we will be working at reduced staffing for the holidays. Specifically Monday the 23rd until Jan 2nd.

    This will affect approval queue times and responses to support tickets. Please adjust your plans accordingly and enjoy yourselves this holiday season!

  • Hi Guest!

    Please be aware that we have released a critical security patch for VaM. We strongly recommend updating to version 1.22.0.7 using the VaM_Updater found in your installation folder.

    Details about the security patch can be found here.
Light Rigs
A collection of light rigs that I've made and used over time saved as Subscenes.

I personally set the scene light to 0 or very low.
The rigs have 4 lights mostly plus some additional that are tagged (extra) which are off by default. You can choose to turn them on based on your computer specs.
In the scene provided you will notice the Subscene is located and attached to abdomen 2 with it's XYZ rotation set to 0.
Position is set to Parent Link with Y-Position Locked and Rotation Off.
(Unlock Y-Position for low to ground poses or you may want to Parent Link the Rotation depending on the situation.)
Default is optimal, the setting I usually use and mostly for playing MMD.
(of course you can do as you want and adjust to your personal taste)

edit:
Minor UI change for ease of use. Made a grab bar and hide button. To unhide you have to open the console and toggle on the "UI" atom.
edit2:
Added toggle buttons to control Y Position Lock and Rotation Parent link. Adjusted some of the lights and renamed them for consistency. (look at video below for reference)

1st Video. My lights tend to be dark. You can increase the "Front_Main" especially when using background assets.
You may want to change this light to Point or unparent certain lights if you don't want it to follow the character.
2nd Video. I added 2 buttons to toggle Y Position Lock and Rotation Parent link. If you watch the video you can see why.

This is hands-down one of the most useful assets on the hub, especially if you're creating looks (or any content, really). Absolutely fantastic work, thank you for making these available to us!

Thank you so much! I really enjoy lighting and believe it's one of the most important things. I'm always thinking of ways to improve the rig so there may be an update in the future.

I'm not great at lighting, so these save a ton of time (and look better than what I typically come up with)

Thanks for these! I use #2 in basically everyone of my no-background scenes.

Thanks! I probably use that one the most too and I'll just tweak the range and colors, maybe intensity.
