    Tutorial for Animation & Animation Presets tabs?

    Can anyone point me to a doc or video that explains more about the Animation and Animation Presets tabs (see image below)? Google and a search here didn't turn up anything. Are the two tabs connected in some way? For example, are the Animations (dances, exercises, etc.) able to be saved as...

    Question Workflow for editing/using stock VaM animations elsewhere?

    Some basic questions about the Animations tab I've had trouble finding the answers to: 1.) I see in the Animations tab there are several dozen included animations (dances, exercises, etc.) but I don't see a way to save or export any of these and then edit them with a plugin like Timeline or...

    Keeping feet on the ground?

    I'm playing around with some animations and am having trouble keeping the models feet on the ground. They always seem to float an inch or more above it. Is there a trick to locking feet to a ground surface? Did a search and nothing really came up.

    Question How would you create this simple animation?

    The base VaM animation tab, Timeline, Animation Poser and now State Manager are all great animation tools but I must admit I'm kind of confused on which to use for a very simple animation. For example, suppose you wanted to create a scene with a model doing jumping jacks? Yes, I know that scene...

    Question Tips for creating ethnic (non-white) Looks with FaceGen

    I've been creating some white people Looks with FaceGen. I found that in FG if I set all the color to zero before exporting the morphs and textures I get better results in VaM. If I don't set the colors to zero, often in VaM the face will be brighter than the rest of the head and it doesn't look...

    Question How to create a custom background?

    Kind of a noob question but what is the process for creating a custom background in VaM? For example, let's say I wanted a brick wall. I'm assuming it's not as easy as just importing a .jpg or .png image. Is it something I can create in Photoshop and if so what are the specs I need to follow and...

    Solved How to pose arms, elbows, other stubborn body parts?

    I watched the posing tutorial by Captain Varghoss and am able to move and pose several body parts like hands, feet and the head but when I try to pose arms and elbows I have trouble, the parts snap back into place no matter what I do. I assume there was something left out of the tutorial about...

    Best option for video screen capture on desktop?

    What screen capture software is good for recording videos of VaM scenes in desktop mode? Something that can do 4K in the MP4 format would be nice. I realize there is a video recorder plugin here but I'd prefer something where I can just hit record and when I hit stop I have an MP4 file ready to...

    Would love a complete mocap tutorial please!

    I would love to get into making mocap animations for VaM but I have no idea where to start. I did a Google search and didn't find anything. I also thought about writing directly to the mocap masters here like KittyMocap and ReignMocap but I know they make money off their hard work and probably...

    Question Switching to Reverb G2: What do I need to know for VaM?

    I've been using the Quest 2 headset for VaM and will be ordering an HP Reverb G2 since it's only $299 for Black Friday. Looking forward to the better image quality. What do I need to know to run VaM with it? Do I need to use Steam VR or can I see my PC desktop with the G2 and launch VaM...

    Animated scene I created will not load. Help!

    I've been playing around with the Timeline plugin for animations and created a basic scene of a single Person moving around slowly. I was able to save and reload this scene later without a problem. Then I tried creating a few more scenes that are a little more complex, with a single Person...

    Solved How to export ONLY a hair, clothing or assett item as a var file?

    I've been playing around with exporting Looks I've created as .var files so I can hopefully share them here one day. But I'm not clear on how I would export a custom hairstyle I created (or modified from another) as a var that can be shared. The same would go for clothing or assets like...

    How about a hug?

    Had an idea for a very simple VR scene, just a person (Look) standing there giving you a hug and caressing your body, maybe leaning in for a kiss. Or in other words, the Look (female or male) goes through all the motions of a standing hug with someone then when you're in VR you just move...

    Question How to use Embody or Passenger to create poses?

    I was thinking it would be easy to use a possession plugin like Embody or Passenger to make and save some poses but upon searching I haven't found the best way to do this. Ideally it would be helpful to assign a "Save Pose" option to one of the buttons on my Quest 2 so while I'm in the atoms...

    Solved Where are these mystery files being listed in my Depends file?

    I just created some Looks to share here and when I check the Depends.txt file generated by Package Builder the following files are included which I don't think I really need for the look, but I don't see where to locate these files when editing the look so I can remove them...

    Solved Why is Package Builder creating a .var folder instead of a .var file?

    I'm getting closer to finally sharing some Looks I created but it seems like a weird problem pops up whenever I get to the final step. Last month I used Package Builder to output a few Looks I made and I got the standard .var file and a depends txt file we all see here when we download a Look...

    Question Anyone use Glycon3d for mocap?

    I was just doing a search for mocap options with a Quest 2 and Glycon3d came up. It looks very cool but upon searching here on VaM nothing came up so I guess no one here uses this? Or did you try it and it didn't work? The program outputs in FBX and BVH but I'm assuming it's not as simple as...

    How to import a BVH pose?

    I've created some poses and exported them as BVH files but now I don't know how or if I can import one into VaM and apply it to a Look. I thought I might be able to use the BVH Player script but that appears to only work for animations, not a single frame file of a pose. Any suggestions? I have...

    Looking for ROAC men's hair style

    Months ago I downloaded a couple men's hairstyles by ROAC but I don't see them here on the Hub anymore. In Edit Mode/Hair within VaM they are named "Roac short 80s" and Roac short 90s". I'd like to move them to a new VaM install on another PC. When I look in my AddonPackages folder I have a...

    Question Exporting a .var look, should the Facegen morphs be included?

    When using Package Builder to export a look I made with a Facegen face, do I need to include all the morph jpg and dsf files or will simply including the final saved jpg and json files be enough for the var file to recreate the look?
