I'll take that as a compliment! Thank you!

Thank you so much for your comment. Getting started in VaM has a very steep learning curve, but there are a lot of good tutorials out there to help that I wish had been around when I got started.
There are two things that I think are most important for making the characters look lifelike in VaM. The first is lighting. Properly lighting the scene and the characters can make all the difference in the world. I personally use little to no environmental lighting so the only sources are the lights you choose yourself.
Second is just a catch-all "attention to detail." It's the little things that people will remember, so when animating, it's important to add little things (a smirk, a slow closing of the eyes, a small slap or grab) and to remove the things that break realism (jerky movements, eyes that don't look where they should, repetitive movements without variation or imperfection.) Looping animation is great, but humans are pretty good at noticing patterns, so we'll spot the fake movements in religion every time.
Good luck on your adventure here. Remember that there are LOTS of people who can offer advice, and tons of scenes to deconstruct so you can see how others get stuff done.

Thank you so much! Smooth animation is really just about time (and maybe just a splash of OCD.) Keep animating! And keep bringing us those rad skyboxes!

Thanks, I'm glad you like this one!

Thank you! Gotta make the music matter!

Thank you so much! I'm always jealous of people who have access to mocap, and even moreso those who do a great job with it, like you guys! I appreciate the complimentary review. :)

Wow, this is very thorough! I might have some time this afternoon to fix this. Normally, if I use divining rod and I have more complex stuff like this where there are moments of insertion, switching to handjob or blowjob, etc, I actually just add the three main penis controllers to the animation and add keyframes at various points to keep the penis where I need it to account for when it turn it back on or disable it again.
I really appreciate that you took the time to work through this for the scene! I absolutely owe it to you and other fans to implement a real fix here.

Ha, thanks!

Strange, I don't remember adjusting Hazel too much to where she would be far off from the default model. I could see how that very precise movement onto him would be tricky for other models though.
I'm thinking I may have to try to implement divining rod after all, if only for that movement.

Man, someone snatch up the username VAMKubrick while you can, cause THAT is gold!
I always love hearing feedback that the little details matter to people. It encourages me in a way I don't think I can fully articulate. I picture being a cook who, when making a dish receives and appreciates plenty of praise, but it really hits home when someone figures out the secret ingredient. "Did you use cinnamon in this?" Of COURSE I used cinnamon!
The secret ingredient is never hidden, anyone can discover it, but having it noted as so crucial makes it worth the effort of adding it.
I appreciate you!

Of course! All of my scenes are free, and I forsee it staying that way. My Patreon is just a "tip jar" with some updates to show patrons what I'm working on, and nothing more.
Free content is the lifeblood of VaM, and I am happy to be a contributor!
