Appearance Swap Between Two Persons

[Mhunter047]

I have a scene with two girls and one guy. I would like to be able to swap the two girl's appearances. They each have separate actions and I would like to be able to enjoy those with both girls. For the life of me, I can't figure out a way to load on person1 the look of person2. I can prebuild predetermined appearances and have them load and swap, but I often load one of the many different looks from my library and I have a lot of looks, so it is not feasible to effectively do it this way. I was also thinking of sharing this scene and this function would be very useful, especially so that a user could load their own looks and swap them. I have looked all through the plugins and tried various different ways, but to no avail.

Any thoughts?

Thanks!

Would this do what you want? https://hub.virtamate.com/resources/appearance-loader.18684/

1. save your scene to some file e.g. "tmp"
2. click Load Appearance From Scene, select "tmp", select the other person atom from the Select Person dropdown, and then click again on Load Appearance From Scene to load the selected person's appearance

that would work for a predetermined look, but I frequently load a scene and then swap out characters. In other words, I might load new appearances every time I play the scene and even swap out those during play. I even use your "Preset Loader" to load random looks. What I want to do then is swap the two that I have loaded to the scene during this session and be able to swap them back and forth.

Maybe you could add that function to "Appearance Loader"? That would be the perfect answer!

It's not my plugin so I can't add any function to it. You'd have to ask the author

LOL..... oops you're right! I get confused sometimes. I do use your Mocap switcher all the time though, it works great! Thank you for that.

There's also this new one that lets you trigger the changes:

Person Preset Picker - Plugins + Scripts -

Have you ever wished you could open preset dialogs (Appearance, Clothing, Pose) directly from a UIButton in VaM? Well, wish no more! This simple plugin exposes those three actions so you can plug them to UI triggers of your choice (such as a...

Another possible use case for SimpleStateMachine, under review

I was checking out your SimpleStateMachine to see if it would do what I am looking for. Which is in a scene with 1 man and 2 girls, let's say that after opening the scene, I decide to change the appearance of one or both girls and then begin the scene, then in a middle of a sex scene I want to swap to the other girl. I want to be able to swap their appearances. I can and have built some ways to swap looks but all of the looks you want to use have to be prebuilt into the controls/logic. I want to be able to choose to move the look of girl 1 to girl 2 and the look of girl 2 to Girl 1. So far, I have found no plugin that can read what another atom's appearance is and load it. I played around with your plugin, but it is WAY over my head! I can't figure out to get it to do anything, perhaps more detailed instructions would help?

I'm building a simple scene to show how to use it for UI.

But I'll build more on it, to have it swap 2 people.

I think, if you wanted the user to be able to change one of the characters themselves, and then when the swap should occur, that new character gets swapped appropriately with the other character on scene, you would have to set up some triggers to my plugin's actions for allowing the state to be edited/updated.... hmm...

Basically, when "Edit" mode is on, and the player changes to their favorite appearance, using another plugin, or whatever, then when that state is left (eg. when the swap state or earlier state occurs), it is auto-saved, and will swap, just like the original character would have swapped...

Maybe I'll throw that feature into the scene too? Supposing I'm understanding your goal... (I'm pretty distracted these days)

edit: I'll link it here when done

edit after edit: ... the audio coming out of these WoW players is so random I didn't even notice someone sounds like they're moaning

read what another atom's appearance is and load it

Actually, I feel like this could be done with triggers alone?

I'll double check...

 

[entitycs]

Yeah... You should be able to use the plugin you already use, and on the button that you want to use to "save" the new swappable appearance, just run the following triggers:

Person->AppearanceControl->PresetName = "someUid"
Person->AppearanceControl->StorePreset
Person2->AppearanceControl->PresetName = "someUid"
Person2->AppearanceControl->LoadPreset

Here's a vid showing it working along with my plugin... but it took a hefty amount of button trigger actions, since it's not aimed at Appearance Swapping. It actually originally was, but then I saw others building on that solution, so I started looking beyond Persons/Appearances. Never been my goal to overlap with others, but I guess the type of plugin this is means there will be some overlaps.

I think you have the answer here from what I am seeing in this last video. I also see that you have some more detailed instructions on the Plug-In page. I am working to learn this plug-In, it is a little over my head, or at least very different from the things I have done before with other plugins, this is a bit more complex for me, but I have wanted this so bad for so long I am going to figure it out!!! When I do, I will give a great review. Thanks for your attention to my request and all your help so far!

Right on! Let me know if I can help in the meantime, else I will include that example in the simple demo scene.
