This plugin makes a helluva lot of things very easy to do! Phenomenal work.

Cue changes the game for those who aren't inclined towards making intricate animations. It helps to give life and interactivity to people, and not just with the user but with each other. I am looking forward to future updates and additions!

Amazed with what it does already. The future looks bright.

Can you consider the possibility to add a full options menu to the plugin main interface so that when we are in VR we can choose if we want to use that on-the-fly nice single-hand design or the old (antique?) method ... in the end, both choices they don't add anything to the visible scene environment, but that old style menu alternative really, I still would appreciate a lot. Thanks to your great gift ! ... I was using Cue with FabioDen posemanager plugin (and divining rod script) ... getting fantastic pose variety and "life" sinergy.

Amazing, outstanding, fantastic... Can't praise enough. Really great job! And also to the creators of the integrated stuff. This is now VAM on next level.

Has great potential, but sadly I can't use it because there is no easy way to replace smiling expressions and breathing with VAMoan, which is superior in my opinion.

You can extract `Custom/Scripts/Cue/res/personalities/standard.json` from the .var file into `Custom/PluginData/Cue/personalities/standard.json`, open it in a text editor and change the morph ID for smiling.

As for VAMMoan, it's the most common request right now. I'm working on it.

WIP but has some great potential, great work.

The "smile open full face", is absolutely ugly. I change it by "BasicSmileLight". To do that, I extract the var file in vam directory\Custom\Scripts\Cue. Then edit res\personalities\standard.json and replace the "smile open full face" string by "BasicSmileLight" or other of your choice.
Really nice plugin, thanks a lot.

That's fine, you can also put the file in `PluginData/Cue` instead. Note that the resource files will change in future versions and probably won't be backward compatible, at least not for the next couple of versions until things quiet down.

Extremely impressive plugin if you are someone who does not want to learn (or spend hours) animating and building a scene with complex plugins to bring your characters to life.

This is more a kind of "procedural" plugin that will help you to immediately make a scene playable.

On the other hand, if you like control and love to work with manual animation, this is not something that will leverage this kind of hard work.

Give it a try! it's pretty cool.

It's a very good plugin. This saves time and reduces the hassle of character setup. Thank you!

Thanks for making this! VAM for sure needs more interaction/life based plugins to bridge that gap between sandbox and gameplay so to speak. This has a lot of great stuff!

I agree with the idea of replacing Breathing with VaMMoan, but otherwise, this is amazing. I've added the preset and plugin to my UIAssist and it works great. I spawned two person atoms, loaded pose presets that allowed quick placement of both into a scissoring position, and they started fucking perfectly.

Impressive stuff, hope to see more of this in the future!

Just stuning !
Really bring model alive with a few clicks , interaction betwen 2 models are very immersive.

really interest to see what's comming further

As say by other up there , the thing a bit complicate is the UI, working good on a quest 2 but really not intuitive.

Anyway this is amazing work !

I feel like this is 90% working, but something's not right and so I can't really make use of it.

I've got an OG Vive with Vive Wands, and I can't get the play menu to work right. Touching a touchpad causes the menu to appear, and I can scroll up/down, or change person with left/right, but the trigger does nothing, and neither does pressing down on the touchpad. I can't select any of the options. As a result the characters just sit in their idle states (but Life is working because they're animating and changing expressions/Gaze/etc) but don't ever change. Manually creating penetration through use of a cycle force doesn't increase excitement or body temperature (I'm assuming the interaction has to occur through the "thrust" option for this to work, but I can't select it).

I can go into options for some of the specific plugins like Kiss and manually toggle it but shortly after Cue recognizes it's already enabled by default in the play menu and turns it back off. I'd love to make use of this plugin.

I'm still giving this a 5 because if it DOES work then this is easily the best fuckin' plugin suite to make interactions believable and organic with little to no effort. I could manually add all of Silver's plugins and Life but that's a pain in the ass- this is done in like 3 buttons.

I would also like to echo other requests of integrating VAMMoan for sounds, there is a great selection of voices to make use of.

Can you hop into the VaM discord and ping me? I really want to fix this.

This is really fantastic! My scenes seem so much more passionate with this. Looking forward to any improvements you make to the plugin. Thanks!

Very promising, giving 5 stars because clearly a lot of thought and time were put into it and was shared freely.

The idling animations and behaviors are too notch. With this plugin I had two favorite girls stand next to each other, one acting flirty while the other one a bit shy. They actually seemed to have real personality! The shy one looked interested but nervous…. She would make eye contact, then look away nervously and smile, then bash fully look that way again.

If I encouraged one by placing a hand closer to the other they would act like a real person would, showing more interest and almost appearing more nervous but excited. To top it off when I guided the shy girls head a little closer to the other, they made eye contact for some time, then slowly started making out.

This plugin is FUCKING HOT. It’s the subtle, flirty movements that make this so amazing.

Recommendations: the VR interface is pretty weird and not intuitive. Fingers keep accidentally activating the menu when I don’t want it and the half trigger/full trigger thing is pretty unforgiving. Would recommend a simple hard click to activate menu, then hard click to check/uncheck a box/feature. As of now the menu interface is way too sensitive with touch/ half click.

Still a GREAT tool in the VAM toolbox and really, truly brings some needed personality and AI feeling to favorite characters.

Keep up the great work!!!

Thank you for the kind words. There's some emerging behaviour with the randomness that I can't really take credit for, even I get surprised at some of the things that happen. For the VR menu, I went through several iterations. The main problem is that all the buttons are used by vam, at least on my controller: A selects things, B opens the UI and the trigger grabs. I think the joystick click is free, but I'm not sure it exists on all controller, and it's a pita to use.

Do you have any suggestion on which button to use instead? All I can think of right now is to add a delay before showing the menu.

Very promising. Anything that brings more life is always welcome. I love the personality system idea and how it affects there expressions.
I think it would be better though if it used VAMMoan instead of Life/Breathe which would have meant it could tie the arousal to VM's intensity and have much more granular choice of voices+arousal level etc.
The top of screen control panel does get in the way too much as a desktop user, would be better if it auto-hid when in play or F1 mode.
Its the first version but I'm giving it 5 stars for the new ideas and potential it has once it is developed more.

I'm not familiar with VAMMoan, I'll have a look at it and see if I can integrate it as an option. I'll definitely add a way to hide the HUD in desktop mode, sorry about that.
