Scenes Erica's Touch

Great controls and scene. Where did you source the video on the TV from?

Excellent work, Nicho!

Nicho's scenes are unmatched and this is not the exception. Spectacular scene.

Amazing! Though her entrance was a little spooky! I like the 2D vid you had on the TV...what's the source?

This is the best scene on the hub. Very well done

You deserve all the praise. I can't imagine how hard making something like this would be. I know a bit about how painstaking keyframe animation is and this has branching and physics interactions. /head-a-splode Some of transitions like her climbing on top were a little awkward, but still incredibly hard to do. Seeing this is now putting some of those mocap studios to shame. Why are they pumping out shorter scenes with less heart than this and charging for them?

Def top 10 scenes on vam this was nuts no pun intended

Very nice scene, some neat ideas. Good music and use of a tv haha thanks for sharing

NICE ~!

Excellent as always!

I'm very impressed by everything you've done so far, there's a buildup and sensuality that most creators (including me) fail to take the time to include (and I know it takes serious time), but it's worth it, this scene is lovely!

A masterpiece of slow and seductive immersion into a private scene. The VR view makes you diving into this fantasy like never seen before. Thank you for sharing.

you're the best.

Top notch.

A sublime masterpiece - An exquisite work of gentle expressions, touches and glances transitioning over into 2 slow intercourse positions. I am very impressed of the amount of attention not only to detail, but the pacing and flow seeming so natural.
Bravo!

Uh dude... way to go leap frogging over the status quo. Your pacing, animations, expressions and next level lighting tricks made both of your recent scenes an awesome surprise. You have an eye for detail that is seriously elevated. I genuinely look forward to seeing what you create in the future.

Yep, you did it again Nicho. I'm not sure how you do it, but I like it. A lot.

My only complaint is that the showcased screenshot is just the last bit of it - that's kind of my jam, like up close and personal intimacy. Like, cuddling. You know?

I'm lonely is what I'm saying.

Absolutely fantastic scene.

Top tier scene. Description is vague and I wasn't sure what to expect but it surpassed all expectation
It took a bit of fiddling but I managed to swap the look of one of my own characters in by adjusting the scale and a couple other measurements- it was worth it.

that other long review by raging also covered a lot of good points in the scene.

Only downsides are a couple of misaligned things such as the hands, occasional model vibration (some collision or something), though this could be from the look swap itself.
And I don't mind it as much but it can be a little slow burning- on repeat views you have to sit through the whole thing (though the first few animations are skippable until she walks to you).

Regardless, thanks for crafting this. It really is a great scene! (now I have to check out that other one you made)

If VAM had a "Free Scene of the Month" award - it's this.

I created an account just so I could write about this scene.

TL;DR - If you are reading this and haven't watched it - for the love of polygons watch the damn scene right now.

[Edit: Nicho also created "Beyond the Aquila Rift"! Holy mother of pearls go what that one right now if you have VR.]

I have never paid for a VAM scene or Look. Not because I have some moral peeve against monetizing the culminations of community efforts but because I can't tell beforehand if what was uniquely added to those efforts is worth what's being charged for it.
People who monetize their content have a high bar to meet. They have to add something well above and beyond the basics in technical and creative acumen.

This scene just pushed that high bar a few feet higher.

You can tell you are in for something special before you hit the start button. Nobody sets the mood of the scene with lighting and the character of the room that well to just continue on with "my first VAM scene" animations.

And when I say "scene" - I mean it. This is not a montage of scenes that flips like an old school kids audio book beeping for you to turn the page.
To move to the next key point of the scene isn't you pushing a button - it's the female character transitioning herself. Something that isn't new but still takes creator testicles to risk. It's so much easier to just button your way past tough transition animations.

I find it humorous that Nicho gave a button option to stop the scene before transitions.
It doesn't say this literally but I believe what the creator was really saying is - "Are you sure you want to see the part that might break horribly?"

What truly glues this scene together is the work in the eyes and expressions. The glance plugin is used to perfection in this scene. There is the briefest moment when the female character hints at what she's really after. That tiny bit of recognition with her eyes is an instinctive trigger to a guy for the joys to come. I don't know if that was a bit of plugin luck or intentionally crafted - but it works.

Because I know the music used as - we must like the same streaming channels - it's obviously perfect. The female character moves appropriately at all times - especially the fun ones - appropriately for t he mood as set by the music.

Can I nitpick any negatives at all?

There is room for improvements as always in the animation. As especially (as always) room for a smoother walk. Maybe try a mocap crawl instead?

Her hands are off - not off-looking but off the surface they are supposed to be on. Actual touching brings physics challenges but maybe if you tilt her hand slightly you can git rid of some of the daylight between her hands and the males skin? There is room for some trickery in there.
The guys hands not fully touching what he's trying to touch at one point. I couldn't give a damn. He's not the focus.

I'm not a complete fan of her texture and makeup. It's sufficient but I think it can be taken to another level as well.

I hope you take it as a complement Nicho that this scene is worthy of a full review at the best of my meager ability to write one.

You did something truly creative and special. You pushed what VAM can do in the area of subtle and recognizable sensuality not just continually over-the-top hyper fantasy. I hope creators take it as a challenge for what VAM is capable of when subtlety is enable by things like adding a little touch of glance or some flowers on a bedside table.
(You thought I didn't notice?)

You created something that was obviously from the heart and then gave it away for free.

You've convinced me that your work would be worth paying for.
[edit: And that other scene I just realized you made sealed it!]

I'm in - where do I sign up?

Absolutely amazing!
