• 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.
Added Low Mirror Button On/Off Option
LM Button will show or hide the Low Mirrors button in the back. For Dark Room Style this will give you a more solid black background without it getting in the way if you're not using it.

Added 2K or 4K Resolution Mirrors and Reflective Floor Slate Option
This will make 8 updates to texture size on the High Mirrors (3), Low Mirrors (3), and White and Black Reflective Floor Slates (2). It will adjust all of them to 2K or 4K based on your preferences. You want to uncheck 4K and then check 2K.

The Studio is set to 4K by default which gives a mirror image that is pretty much a duplicate causing higher system requirements. This can cause slowness for some users. This allows users the option to lower them all at once. A lot of VAM scenes will set the mirror texture size to around 2k and not 4k. This just changes the texture size on the mirrors and reflective floor slate, it does not change the resolution on the model or anything else in the scene.

4K will work well with photos but for animations you may need to use 2K or give users the option to choose.

Added a Black Room Style with Black Reflective Slate and Black Mirrors
To use this style you will want to first uncheck everything in White Room Style then check what you want under Black Room Style.

Added an option for Flat, Thin, or Thick Mirrors
This will be more noticeable with the black mirrors.

Added a Halo Spotlight for Black Room Style
Black Room Style offers more creative lighting options. Below is an example of using flat black mirrors with the Halo Spotlight.

Added Black Room Box
This will cut off the black reflective floor slate from going off into the distance and provide a more solid black background to take photos if you want to remove all mirrors and just use the black reflective slate in the room.
