Become the Director of Your Scenes!
A New Dimension of Interaction: Connect Your Device to VaM!
Have you ever dreamed of physically controlling the action inside Virt-A-Mate? To have your real-world movements instantly translate into the scene? Stop dreaming – Edgy Edge Client is here to make it a reality!This revolutionary plugin builds a bridge between your device and VaM, opening the door to an unprecedented level of immersion and creativity. Translate every motion to character controllers or... seize full control over time itself using Timeline
Key Features:
Mode 1: Controller Control (Position & Rotation)
This is the foundation where it all begins. Map the motion of your device directly onto any controller in the scene!- Total Freedom: Choose any Atom and any controller you want to command (hip, pelvis, head, hand ...)
- Precise Mapping: Decide which axis (X, Y, Z) the movement should follow and precisely set the minimum and maximum positions, perfectly tailoring the range of motion to your needs.
- Optional Rotation: But that's not all! Enable optional rotation to make the controller twist and turn around a selected axis as it moves up and down. Perfect for creating complex, natural-looking motions.
Mode 2: Timeline Animation Director
This is where the real magic begins. If you'd like to play a bit more, this mode will change everything for you.- Physical Time Scrubbing: Your device becomes a tool to physically "scrub" the animation timeline. 0% position is the beginning of the animation, 100% is the end. You decide the exact moment!
- Target Selection: Point to an atom with the Timeline plugin, then simply pick the specific animation you want to control from a dropdown list.
- Endless Possibilities: Create dynamic, manually controlled loops, precisely pose characters for the perfect shot, and play with the pacing of your scene in real-time. Your creativity is the only limit!
Features for Both Modes:
- Intelligent Smoothing: Forget about jerky, unnatural movements! The plugin reads the duration of the motion from the server and fluidly interpolates the position (or animation time), ensuring an incredibly organic and smooth effect.
- In-VaM Server Control: No need to alt-tab. Buttons directly in the UI let you send commands straight to the server:
- Toggle Pause
- Speed Up / Slow Down
- One Smooth Stroke
- These actions are also triggers: so you can assign them to buttons, voice commands of even Voxta actions where AI will control your stroker
- Low Latency: The WebSocket connection ensures lightning-fast response to every move. Feel the immediate control.
How Does It Work?
The plugin connects to a lightweight WebSocket server that you run on your computer. This server communicates with your device, sending its position and velocity data in real-time to VaM. Setup is quick and simple!
