Plugins + Scripts Appearance Loader

[PrettyFrank]

I made a test version. AppearancePresets has no data so it cannot be loaded, but I think it is now possible to load it from the scene and GeneralPresets.

Nice!! I'll check it out ASAP and let you know

I just made a great Viseme config tonight in fact that I want to copy around.

File update.
Parameters that can be loaded have been subdivided by function. Turning on LipSync will also load JawControl.

Nice tweak!

Haven't had a chance to load it yet, so I'll be sure to use the new version (should be able to check today at some point)!

Some buttons are hidden, so move the scroll bar to make them visible.

Update (ver.23):
You can now load Lip Sync, Jaw Control, Hand Control, Eye Control, Head Audio parameters from Scene and General Presets, Legacy Preset (full). You can also load triggers such as LipTrigger and VaginaTrigger. Lip Sync and Jaw Control are loaded at the same time. Also, each Trigger is loaded at the same time.
Appearance Presets and legacy Looks do not include these parameters and cannot be loaded. The toggle button is at the bottom of the UI, so scroll down.

By the way, I've had a chance to check it out and load Viseme settings from one scene to another. Works great, thank you!

is there any way to load pose

is there any way to load pose

AppearanceLoader does not load poses. Please use PoseLoader.

ky1001 updated Appearance Loader with a new update entry:

Update(ver.24)

Update (ver.24):
1) Now supports VAM's Hair and Clothing Lock functions. Some legacy hair are not eligible. When you press the Lock button, the color of the button changes, so don't forget to press the Unlock button when you want to unlock. If a new Appearance is loaded with the Lock button pressed, the new item will not be locked. If you want to lock additionally, press the Lock button again.
I used @hazmhox's VAMStory code to change the button size. Thanks to hazmhox for...

ky1001 updated Appearance Loader with a new update entry:

Update (ver.25)

Update (ver.25):
1) As suggested by @cmramlow, we've added the ability to select whether to load Hair, Clothing, Plugins, Textures, and Custom Unity Assets individually. To use this feature, turn on the item for which you want to select individual items, such as "Change Clothing," and then turn on "Use Extra Menu." This feature is based on @VamWizard's code and assets.
1-1) Hair and Clothing: Current items will be deleted. If you want to keep them, lock...

Hello! I love this plugin, and I use it a lot to make Alt Futa versions of my male characters, but usually all the active male morphs are loaded in the female morphs section of the Alt Futa figure on which I load a male appearance with this plugin... Some of those morphs get different values than the original male appearance, so I need to revise them one by one, since my goal is to achieve identical appearances: one male, one Alt Futa. Is there any way for this plugin to load male morphs just on the male morph section of a character, or at least, load them with correct values? Thank you very much!

Sorry, I don't quite understand the situation. Are you aiming for a fully-featured male character that can wear female hair and clothing?
Could you provide a scene and appearance preset for reference?

Thanks for your reply. What I want to achieve is an Alt Futa female person with the very same morph values as another male person, like in some of Salem005 looks (King Tekken or Leather Dog Chris for instance).

Thanks for your reply. What I want to achieve is an Alt Futa female person with the very same morph values as another male person, like in some of Salem005 looks (King Tekken or Leather Dog Chris for instance).

I investigated the Alt Futa versions of King Tekken and Leather Dog Chris in Salem005.
I compared the Morphs values when loaded normally as a Scene and when the Appearance was loaded from a scene file with Appearance Loader, but no difference was found. I also compared them with the values specified in the scene file, but no difference was found. In addition, Female Morphs is "morphs" in the file section, and Male Morphs is "morphsOtherGender". I think Alt Futa's Appearance is loaded correctly from the scene with Appearance Loader. I don't really understand the problem. Please give me information about the file that needs to be modified, the Morph name, and its value.

Hello again, ky1001, and thanks for your dedication. Never mind, I guess it's something inherent to VAM, the way morphs are loaded in the male or female morphs tab, depending on the gender of the person. I just wondered if it was possible to load the mophs on the morph gender tab of the appearance that is loaded through this plugin (if you load a male appearance, then make them load on the male morphs tab, even if the figure using the plugin is female. I'm sitll investigating why sometimes the appearances of a male and an Alt Futa figure using this plugin have slight differences in their appearance. I'm also gonna check with Salem005 to know how his figures were done. Thank once more!

Converting male looks into Alt Futa looks is something I'm looking to learn, I would love to hear about your process and how you use this plugin for that purpose.

Converting male looks into Alt Futa looks is something I'm looking to learn, I would love to hear about your process and how you use this plugin for that purpose.

Unfortunately this plugin does not allow you to create any Appearance Presets, it only allows you to load completed Appearance Presets.

Converting male looks into Alt Futa looks is something I'm looking to learn, I would love to hear about your process and how you use this plugin for that purpose.

Glad to know there's more people interested in doing this! Please note the proccess described below is only for male appearances that have their OWN textures, no default Skin Select male textures will work, since you won't be able to access them. (DM me if you have queries/frustration about this). I'll try to make a tutorial with pictures, but so far...

First, grab all the male hairs you like, go inside their addon, and drag the folders with the name of the creator of that hair into your Custom/Hair/Female directory. Appearance Loader will find them when it works its magic. Note that some Kemenate pubic hairs don't look good or break on an Alt Futa figure, so look for female pubic hair as a substitute.

Second, check in Package Manager (the white cube-shaped button) that whatever morphs the guys you want to convert have, are marked in “User Prefs” (to the right of Package Manager) as “Preload Morphs”, so they will always be available. Thiss is for looks on which Face or Body shapes are merged into a single morph.

Third, open the scene where the boy you want to convert to Alt Futa is, tweak him, make him look stunning, and create an Appearance Preset with him. If there is only that guy in the scene, you can continue there, creating a girl next to him. If not, create a new scene with a boy and a girl, side by side, with the same pose (default, or standing), and in their birthday suit . You want the girl to have a Female Base UV (Skin Select tab). Light the scene well (3 lights are usually enough), so that their backs and buttocks are well lit too. You can add a floor and a wall in the background if you want. In the Female Morphs tab of the girl, check “Use Male Morphs on Female” (top right).

Fourth: select your boy, and load the Appearance Preset you saved. He'll help you compare your new Alt-Futa girl later. Now select your girl, and add these plugins to her: Alternative Futa, Appearance Loader, UV Swapper, Collider Editor (to retouch/ move down the testicles colliders as needed, although this is more advanced). In Appearance Loader, at the bottom, tick Change Morphs, Scale, Physics (if you want), Eyes, Mouth, Hair. DON'T tick Change Textures, or your girl will become a boy, not an Alt-Futa!
Now, still in Appearance Loader, at the top, click Load Vap Appearance Preset, and find the male appearance you saved. Voila! Your girl should have your boy's hair and shape, but with different body textures. If it still has a girl shape (sometimes happens), go to the girl's Male Morphs tab, search for MVR_G2Female, and set its value to -1.

Fifth, a tedious and tiresome part, but worth it! In the UV-Swapper plugin of the girl, load all the textures of your guy in the corresponding button: diffuse, specular, normal for face, torso, limbs… that's why you need a male appearance with its own textures. You can ignore the “set Genitals”, we will do that with Photoshop or Photopea. Well, this plugin will take care of changing your guy's textures to Base Female's UV, and save them in Saves/PluginData/mrmr32/UVSwapper. Go to that directory, select all those textures, cut, and paste into a new folder inside Custom/Atom/Person/Textures/FemaleBase. Rename that folder as you wish (“My_Boy_Alt_Futa” for example), and rename each texture also as you consider better (My_Boy_Face_D, My_Boy_Face_S…) Also add to that folder the male genitalia textures (difuse, specular, normal,...) of your boy, to use them later in the Alt Futa Plugin of the girl.

Sixth, veeery tedious, but much needed: I then load in Photoshop or Photopea all the torso textures (diffuse, specular, normal) that I have saved in the folder of my new Alt-Futa figure, and I put over it a layer with the Genitals texture (the one with a pussy on the navel) of some female figure or another Alt-Futa figure (MvFF has some good ones), I make a mask selection of the anus area and the inner part of the buttocks (will share the blueprint eventually), and I erase everything else of that texture. I adjust the tone, saturation and luminosity of that “Genitals” until it blends smoothly with the layer where I have the torso texture of my new Alt-Futa. If necessary, I retouch with the “stamp” tool so that there are no uneven areas, and I export the retouched textures to the texture folder of my new Alt-Futa.

Seventh, I then select my girl Alt-Futa, load the textures from the folder I created for my Alt-Futa girl, placing the textures I retouched in Photoshop or Photopea under Torso and Gens, that is, with a proper anus, not blank. Then I go to the Alt-Futa Plugin, and in the "Penis Material Options" section, I load the textures for the boy's genitals, which I previously pasted into the textures folder of my new Alt-Futa. If all goes well and UV-Swapper hasn't messed up by leaving blank areas in some textures seams (can happen, and then you'll have to retouch them in Photopea again, with stamp tool), when you're happy with how it looks, click the Save Preset button in the Alt-Futa Plugin, and it will save the texture settings for your new Alt-Futa. Regarding her/his shape, hair, and behavior, tweak the F Breast and F Glutes Physics as you wish (raise the dampers so her pecs and butt don't shake like jelly), and then create a new Appearance Preset of your girl transformed into a brand-new, hot like hell Alt-Futa boy, so that her/his morphs, physics, hair, etc. are saved.

Congrats! You now have a gorgeous boy who likes top and bottom... All that's left is to offer a kind, merciful thought to all those little persons who, since the creation of this game, have systematically neglected male figures and gay or REAL bisexual intercourse... when you get down to work, you might feel like I do. For any query, please don't hesitate to DM me, I'll be so pleased to help as much as I can. Have fun!

Thank you so much for this! I've been experimenting with these plugins a lot but I kept getting a white butthole along with numerous other problems. I'll definitely try your tutorial out when I have time. Functional sphincters here I come!

Hey I love your plugin and have been using it for a long time now. I have run into a problem lately where the plugin just gets stuck on "clearing old data" and never progresses. What would cause it to hang there?

Hey I love your plugin and have been using it for a long time know. I have run into a problem lately where the plugin just gets stuck on "clearing old data" and never progresses. What would cause it to hang there?

Thank you for using the plugin. Does the problem occur with the latest version of the plugin? If not, please try the latest version. If the appearance with the problem is in the Hub, please let me know the URL so I can download it and check it. If it is not in the Hub, please provide the file and I will check it.
I have only tested the latest version of VAM. If it is not the latest version, please check with the latest version.
I often encountered stuck situations while developing plugins. The most common cause was variables becoming unintended values (often "null").

 

[ForumCitizen#253]

Tried a fresh install today with latest version of VAM (1.22.0.12) then your plugin downloaded fresh today from website (ky1001.AppearanceLoader.25). I started VAM in desktop mode checking and accepting everything in the opening disclaimer and browsed to the hub where I download the Bowsette model from OniEkohvius (OniEkohvius.Bowsette.2.var) and also download fresh the dependencies from there (Spacedog.Import_Reloaded_Lite.2) and (kemenate.Morphs.9). I saw there was an update for the kemenante morphs to 10 after the download so i updated it (kemenate.Morphs.10). I then proceeded into a blank scene and loaded a person atom. I added the appearance loader (making sure to touch no settings) and used the load from scene button to then browse to the Bowsette var. I chose to load the Red head version and it just gets stuck immediately on "clearing old data".

Thank you for explaining the steps. I followed the steps and tried it myself. Create an empty scene with the "New Empty Scene" button. Add a Person with the "Add Person Atom" button. Add AppearanceLoader.25 to the Person. Select OniEkohvius - Bowsette B (red hair) with the "Load From Scene" button. As you can see in the image, it works without any problems in my environment. Is there any error message displayed when you press the "Open Error Log" button? Also, is it possible to load from a different Appearance Preset?

Sorry for the inconvenience. I have reproduced the problem where the above procedure stops midway with a newly installed VAM. After opening the default scene once, I opened New Empty Scene, added a Person, and used AppearanceLoader, and it worked properly. I don't know the cause, but there may be something missing in the scene created with New Empty Scene. With a VAM that I've used a lot, it works properly even if I open New Empty Scene first. It seems difficult for me to find the cause. I'm sorry, but could you please open another scene once before using AppearanceLoader in New Empty Scene?
