Bed animation template 
A build-it yourself template for "quick" scene creation
Discontinued development
Before you download, this is not a typical scene, this is a template to make new scenes.
As it is it works, but there's no environment and some buttons need configuration on your part. What you can do with this depends on your experience with scene making/editing, but if you know how to make a button with a trigger you can use this template already easily enough to make your own scene. All the atoms have descriptions to help you figure out what something does and learn how it's put together.
You're welcomed to ask anything you want in the Discussion area if you want to use this template, I'll try to answer as soon as possible.
## Yet another template?
Yap, that's right. This is a smaller template when comparing to my previous template (Scene animation template M-F), but that is if only taking into account the amount of sex positions, 3 on this to 7 in the other. This template's sex actions are made for a bed or a similiar flat surface, and are the following:
- Cowgirl
- Groundhog (yes, that's the real name
, at least that's what the web says) - Missionary
## Anything new to bring to the table?
There's some added features and this template is a lot easier to adapt to new environments.
- Add new environments easily: the sex actions all take place over a single invisible surface, no need to do the subscene moving like I described in the other template.
- UI buttons for different sets of randomised speech (as text) during sex: you can setup these for moods like excited, annoyed, etc.
- UI buttons for a expressions plugin (Expressions Tool or Cue): you'll need to load a preset for ExpTool or setup Cue from the Female plugins area.
- Space for buttons to load a specific or random appearance presets (Logicbricks - random choice), and to jump to different environments you set up before.
- Improved setup of Timeline animations with relay triggers: this allows a more centralised control for changes and expansions without needing to go to the animation triggers

## Adding a environment
or even better, multiple environments
As the sex actions all happen on top of a hidden surface (BaseSS/Surface), instead of moving people around like it is with the Scene animation template, you only need instead to move and rotate the new environment to be under the persons/surface. Adding a new environment now takes under a minute, you don't even need to use collision in it as that's what the BaseSS/Surface atom is for. Not only is adding a environment quick to do, you can add several environments to the scene and use buttons to trigger them on or off.
- If you're adding a CUA environment, disable collision first when you add the CUA atom before you load the CUA. This should help avoid collision with the persons when you're moving it.
- Naming your environments like "Env-something" makes it easier for you to find them in the list when you create a button to enable/disable it.
- Pay attention to not block the buttons behind a wall or something
## Expanding
Besides the multiple environments you can add new buttons for loading appearance presets for example. The screenshots above of environments and appearances were all from a single scene I made using this template, with the only restriction the RAM you have available.
There's also a music related button and slider for convenience when you add some music to the scene audio. Once you add a clip you need to assigne the "play music" button to play that file.
## Problems you may face
RAM ⚔ VAM, the usual suspects
Adding new environments will increase the loading time and RAM use. I made a scene using this template that has more than 6 environments but the RAM use didn't grow that much.
Loading appearances and clothing will also make RAM use go up, but this is just like any other scene, load plenty of them and you'll crash VAM. Here you can flush these out with the "Remove unused assets" button in the Control & Physics of the Person atom.
The real killer is audio. Loading a 100 MB 1 hour long ogg audio will use close to 3 GB of RAM
.If you have 32 GB of RAM just keep an eye on how many presets you load, flush unused assets often, and keep it light with music. If you have less than 32 GB, well, you probably already accepted VAM crashing often.
## Random speech editing
There's a atom called SpeechRandom, and in the plugins you'll find 3 ActRandomizer plugins per Speech type. I didn't write any lines besides a demonstration one in each plugin, you'll need to add them your self according to what mood you want to make. The 3 plugins per Speech type are:
- Lines during sex
- Single line just before orgasm
- Single line at the end
In a ActRandomizer plugin, write a line for Act 1 and adjust the time to show it. Use the "duplicate act" to add new acts easily. Do the same for all other ActRandomizer plugins.
I started out with speech and thought bubbles, but soon realised some problems with how they are shown, especially problematic with Passenger (Embody). Due to the close proximity of some actions, it was sometimes not possible to read the bubble or the female head movement would shift its location too much. As there's no configuration possible for the bubbles I decided to try with VAMOverlays instead.
VAMOverlays provides options for styling and positioning, and you see it even if you're not looking at the female. That's useful as some actions are out of sight of the female head when using Passenger. Now it's possible to see all text at any time.
However, not all is roses, because using a headset the placement of the lines is very central and can get a little in the way, or one's real movements shake the headset and make the text a moving target. It's easier to read smaller text than larger text in this manner, so a 18 or 20 size works better. It's not ideal for a Passenger perspective it's the best option I've found.

- Use the speech randomizers to play audio files instead of speech/thought bubbles, if you have audio speech clips of course - careful with RAM use
- Play ambiences for a themed session like Game of Thrones, Star Wars, whatever - check youtube
- Share the scene you created using the template on the Hub, but mind you, it's CC BY-NC
- Take it all apart and do whatever you want, IDK
