VaM 1.x Are there any plugins that can create multiple "scenes" in a scene?

[rimram]

Hey everyone, I'm pretty new to VAM, I mainly used Koikatsu before this.

I'm looking for something similar to VNGE in Koikatsu. Basically, I want to create multiple “states” or “scenes” inside a single VAM scene file and jump between them.

For example, each saved state would store things like:

1. camera position/angles
2. character poses/animations
3. clothing or outfit states
4. object placement/visibility
5. lighting/environment changes

Then I could trigger or switch between those states during the scene.

Are there any plugins or workflows in VAM that work like this? Thanks!

Sounds like SceneDirector might do the trick for you.

SceneDirector - Plugins + Scripts -

Introduction SceneDirector is meant to become the Swiss Army knife of atom state management and scene scripting. It's based on my personal ScenePlugin, which was used to drive the DildoLanguage demo scene, as well as all my personal scenes. But...

Also might be worth learning about subscenes within VaM. Can be a little slow to load subscenes but it's good to know how they work for optionality.

In addition to what @YameteOuji said, you can technically do this with Timeline and consider implementing the "Jump" plugin as well.

Body Language does most of that. Using the pose enter and pose exit triggers, you can control clothing, props, etc.

BodyLanguage - Plugins + Scripts -

This plugin aims to simulate real life reactions to the things you do to your model. It will be highly configurable and provide lots of features that could be used to drive your scene with. You need version 1.20.77.13 or higher. The plugin has to...

It's more a question of "are you ready to spend a lot of time achieving this?"
There is no workflow per say in VAM, there are only tools allowing you to do various things... which includes VAM by itself and the plugins made by the community.

It means it's not gonna be a "one click" thing, but a long process of understanding everything and making it. So, including the one mentionned above:

• SceneDirector
• BodyLanguage
• Timeline
• VAMStory
• LogicBricks
• VUML and ActionGrouper

And natively, VAM includes triggers with actions which covers most basic needs (like pretty much anything you do by hand can be triggered through triggers).

One warning tho. Subscenes cannot be "crossed scripted" (from the main scene). They are pretty much only worth using for content loading, as most plugin don't even need subscenes to allow creating that kind of "mini scenes".
