• 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.
A collection of animated NPC's designed to be background characters to give life to your VAM scenes, while maintaining performance.
NPCs are animated in varies positions, such as sitting down, talking, dancing. I've included walking animations too for some characters, which can be animated using Timeline. Use Ambient crowd FX for further realism.

Includes a very basic demo scene, to give you an idea of how to use these assets.

All the characters are unity assets and as such have a very minor impact on performance, you can have around 15 NPCs per scene without a noticeable loss in framerate. On my 1080 TI, r5 2600 , 16gb ram system I can avg around 300 fps with 20 character on screen with vertex multiple lights and an detailed environment.

Vertex lighting is recommended for enviroments with baked lighting although pixel can be used too.
Here's the full list of available characters in the .var packages, for some reason a few of these thumbnails for the assets don't show up, in the .var file, unless you unzip them.

It's extremely amazing to have all these animated to be put in the scene, wondering do you mind to make a tutorial of how to make such asset bundle by our own?

Basically all you have to do is play the animation in unity and make that scene into an asset bundle, these tutorials show that in detail.
