    Answered Could someone advise me how to get animations of picking up and using objects to look good?

    After exploring several avenues over the years, (with many "FUCK, GD it!"'s 😂), this is what I have found: - parenting in Timeline is good until it isn't. There are many situations where it will lose whatever is tying the animation to the asset and you will need to redo it. Great for simple...

    Question List of VAR Packages and Categories

    I would like to further break out the var files in "Addon Packages" based on their category, (looks, cloths, scene, asset, etc). I run VAM from a mounted and encrypted drive so the tipping point with the loading speed is much lower than usual. In order to make it easier to move unnecessary var's...

    Answered Switching Pose Presets using AcidBubble's Timeline plugin

    For the most part they are more than sufficient. That one addition was huge! I use the standard pose presets in VAM when the actors are moving from one area of the room to another. If they turn frequently the limbs get messed up, also, if they are close together and one has to pass through the...

    Answered Switching Pose Presets using AcidBubble's Timeline plugin

    I always use (A) Stop Animation (B) apply pose preset (C) Apply clothing preset if necessary (D) Start Timeline For (B): - I still use Pose Preset for buttons or the start of a new section or act sometimes as I find the actors tangle up just using the Timeline pose. I try it without the pose...

    Question Multiple poses/positions in single scene

    You can do all of that in a single button. You can also do that as a trigger in timeline. Order is important... Stop all animations on the objects that are changing pose and anything interacting with or will be interacting with them, load pose preset by path for person 1, load pose preset by...

    Question VR problems with oculus quest 2

    If it is open in desktop mode and you hit M and put your headset on you will need to hit the controller button to close and reopen the UI. The UI will be placed wherever your right controller is pointing.

    Question RTX3060 vs RTX3070 for VAM

    I agree with Dre, I would avoid anything prebuilt like Dell or HP. You are better off spending the money on the box you want with the cooling capabilities you need (never too many fans!!! lol), a mother board that will also support the next gen of chips, decently fast memory (32G is good, 64G...

    Question Low FPS on headset

    That is definitely the truth. I broke my VD setup yesterday tweaking with things and tried Airlink again. I found it to be annoying to the point of being unusable with the random flickers and pauses. This is especially true when trying to clean up small nuances in a scene. Airlink has a long way...

    Question Low FPS on headset

    @Case @Jiraiya Thank you both! Yes, that makes a huge difference! Thank you! The one piece I was missing was running the bat from Virtual Desktop rather than from the regular desktop. I will try the FidelityFX later today. @Case You definitely know more than me so thank you!

    Question Low FPS on headset

    I am using Virtual Desktop, Steam, and Sidequest. - I open Sidequest - In my Quest2 I open Virtual Desktop and click "Launch SteamVR" - Then I click the VAM shortcut I added to Steam Is there a better way and is this outdated? I say this as there is a pretty big FPS difference between this way...

    Question Anyone using Virtual Desktop, Steam VR and Quest 2?

    I think the ship has sailed with regards to data privacy. It will take a pretty big catalyst to change things now. First rule of change: Create a sense of urgency. That has not been triggered yet. Once that momentum starts I am on board with any legislation limiting personalized data collection...

    Question Anyone using Virtual Desktop, Steam VR and Quest 2?

    You do, however have to give them something to find. While use of VAM is not particularly interesting, the absence of data is like a flashing bright bouncing ball that says "Here!!!!", "Look Here", "Investigate here!" :LOL: GDPR was a good start and the US needs to follow suit. It doesn't go...

    Question Anyone using Virtual Desktop, Steam VR and Quest 2?

    lol, I am not sure someone using a VR headset for something like Virtamate is a data point of interest in their analytics. I mean, we don't need analytics to state that a vast majority of headsets are sometimes used for Virtamate or porn :LOL: With that said, thanks for the Airlink tip! VD...

    Question So! A question to all you great creators out there - am I cheating?

    Yes, it is pretty complicated like MacGruber said. I am quite sure I have violated something as well though not intentionally. Even when I go through everything with a fine tooth comb I still have a bad feeling I am missing something and not crediting someone. There are many scenes I haven't...

    Question Coding Question

    This is probably a dumb question but rather than spending a lot of time browsing through others code to figure it out I figured I would ask here. What determines whether an option in a plugin is available as a trigger action? I have looked through the code in a few plugins and can't seem to...
