Guides How to use the NEXT template scene

This guide applies to this scene:


It will show how you can best use the NEXT template scene features to have a complete scene in under 60 seconds.
And if you get bored with the environment, music, appearances or clothes, change them all again just as quickly, as many times as you want.

Read on to learn more and play endless scenes.

Load a appearance

Probably the first thing I do in a scene is to change the person's appearance. In this scene it's super easy, there's a button in the body UI to change the female and male's appearance to whatever appearance preset you have around.
Loading a appearance with these buttons will keep the original person's scale, which is the default 1 by the way, and load the cum clothing used in the scene. Super convenient, isn't it?
* Unfortunately this is not working in VR, hopefully it will be solved soon.

Both persons use a scale of 1, the default value, so load a appearance preset you'd like and then press:

• "add/clean fluids" button to merge load in the persons cum clothing
• "calibrate" button for Naturalis to adjust the breasts and glutes of the new person (female only).

Load a environment

Here's the important bit you need to know. You don't move people around to fit a environment, you move the environment to fit the people. And yes, it's possible to do this even when the persons have actions in different places.

Two environments to download and use

Before I go on about explaining how that works, you have 2 two environments you can download with this guide and use on the template:


How to use the downloaded environment in the NEXT scene:

At the origin (0, 0, 0) is a subscene atom named quickplace. Load a subscene from one of the quickplace VARs you downloaded with the filename Template. You need to be on the "Reset" position in the template, which is the default position of the persons.

Once the subscene environment is loaded, feel free to click on the sex action buttons and the environment will reposition itself fittingly.
If you want to try the other, just repeat the process of loading the subscene. Just make sure you're in the "Reset" position.


More information on the concept if you're curious

A long description of the concept can be read in my quickplace guides, but in a brief way it works like this:

• A environment is added to a subscene which contains a Timeline instance;
• The Timeline shares the same names of the segments and initial animations as the persons, which makes them all play synchronized;
• The target in the Timeline is the main environment atom, a CUA for simpler environments, or a empty/subscene atom for others;
• Lights and other environment parts are parent linked to the main environment atom.

When you click on "Doggy", both the persons and the environment will reposition simultaneously to the right places, like magic .?

Why this way of doing things? Because it gives you the possibility to use any environment (previously readied of course) on the same scene in a few seconds. No need to save a scene, multiple copies using different locations, they're all available on demand, 2, 20, 200, any number.

Load music

There's a quickmusic atom with a plugin from MacGruber to load and play a assetbundle with music. Once you load a music assetbundle in there, you can use the Audio UI to play, skip tracks and adjust volume.

If you don't have any music assetbundles around, no problem, VamEssentials uploaded a bunch of them to the Hub, try them out:

If you want to make your own music assetbundles (also commonly named audiobundles), the process of using Unity is very simple and worthwhile giving it a try. If you never used Unity, might as well start now as VaM 2 will use this tool extensively.

For more information see my quickspeech guide in the section "Audio assetbundles":

Load audio speech (female atom)

Do you want the girl to say things to you? Not a problem, just load a compatible audiobundle with speech on the quickspeech atom.
I have 2 american voices audiobundles you can use:

1. Find to the quickspeech atom
2. Load the preset from the VAR in the guide above
3. Go to Audio UI and click "Load quickspeech audiobundle"

When you start a sex action, the female will speak to you random sentences of the audiobundle in 4 themes:

• Before sex (once)
• During sex (loop)
• Pre-cum (twice)
• After sex (once)

If you want to learn more about the quickspeech system and make your own audiobundles, check out the guide linked in "Load music".
If you're worried it's some complicated Unity stuff or VaM use, it's not at all. Honestly, over 98% of the work to make one of these speech audiobundles is on creating and editing sound files, completely outside the realm of Unity and VaM.

Load clothing (the cool way)

Yeah, you can load a clothing preset and there's your clothes. If you do, make sure to click "add/clean fluids" to merge load the cum clothing.
But you can also have interactive clothing options with actions such as open shirt, lift skirt, remove panties, etc. This is possible with quickdress.

I share with the below guide 2 quickdress VARs for you to try them out:

To use the quickdress VARs in the NEXT template scene:

1. Click the quickdress atom on the left side of the male person
2. Load a preset from the above guide's VARs for "Female"
3. A panel with buttons should appear to load clothes and do actions on the female person, it overwrites existing clothes
4. In body UI, click "add/clean fluids" to merge back the cum clothing

Hopefully the system should be clear enough to use. As it uses the VAMStory Actions plugin, it only works when you're not in a "Freeze motion/sound" state (main VaM UI checkbox).

To learn more about the quickdress system and learn how to make your own, see the quickdress guide shared above.

About more things

There are tons of features in the template, explore them and let me know if there's anything I should add to this guide.
Enjoy.
