• 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.

Draw Debug Mesh

DrawDebugMesh draws a wireframe on top of the model in VaM. This might be useful in general when creating or editing looks - for example, it makes it easier to identify morphs that have unintended side effects.

Features​

  • draw triangles or quadrilaterals
  • force Smooth Passes 0 (because the mesh is drawn from pre-smoothed position data)
  • toggle x-ray
  • offset the mesh along vertex normals for better visibility (at the cost of precision)
  • color and alpha settings for the wireframe
  • add to a Person atom (works with both male and female)

Issues / good to know​

The plugin consumes a lot of memory and has a heavy impact on frame rate. This isn't fixable because it results from having to fetch vertex positions from GPU buffers every frame. However given that it's a tool for editing, that should be OK, and the memory it uses is periodically freed up by VaM anyway.
  • You can minimize the memory buildup when tabbed out of VAM using FrameRateControlEE with "Pause VaM when not focused" checked.
  • There is a Keybindings command DrawDebugMesh.ToggleEnabled for toggling it on/off without having to navigate to the plugins list
Reload the plugin after changing the character in Skin Select. Note that not reloading allows you to disconnect the wireframe from the character which is kind of cool:

The wireframe isn't exactly 1:1 unless using the dummy skin. It seems VAM does some form of smoothing when using a non dummy skin, even if Smooth Passes is 0:
