Thank you!
Yes, the video does indeed show the actual toy sync.
I play this scene a lot, and I've always had great results with The Handy and the Launch.

I'll give it a shot with Sex on a cruise! Thanks for the detailed reply. TheHandy was my first toy and while its pretty great with stuff like SexLikeReal videos, I found the delay and out of sync movement killed it for me with vam. After building an SR6, tcode sync dialed in for 1:1 movement, it was impossible to go back to the handy. But if I could get it running similar to your video, It'd certainly be a good option for scenes that are a bit too dynamic for something like an SR6.Yes, the video does indeed show the actual toy sync.
There could be a few reasons why you had bad latency with VamLaunch in the past, but my first guess would be the tracking method. Some input methods use motion prediction, which is inaccurate and lags behind by a lot. I completely avoid using that type of tracking. This scene in particular uses animation patterns to control the speed and rhythm of the thrusting, which is sync'd to the toy. The results is nearly perfect toy tracking, but slightly robotic-looking thrust motion. If you would like to test this method out before trying my paid content, go check out my free toy-controlled scene here:
I recently updated it to have the exact same toy tracking method as my paid scenes, so if this one works for you, then so will Champagne and others.Scenes - Sex On a Cruise
Anniversary Update! This was our first sex scene. My girlfriend was hesitant to make a sex mocap at first, but she built up the courage to do it, and she did an amazing job! I have always loved this scene, but it was getting very outdated and...
The second form of VamLaunch tracking I use is my newest developed method, which uses a timed offset to put the toy motion slightly ahead of the mocap. I have done extensive testing to make sure the result feels very close to the correct motion. So far I only have 2 scenes that do it this way, which are my two most recent.
If you have difficulty getting the toy to follow the motion accurately, let me know and I'll see if I can help.
All of my scenes since Aug 2023 have been debugged for TCode and include a button called "TCode Mode" which aligns the hips for consistent SR6 motion. Although Tempest toys are by far the superior option compared to The Handy or Keon, they are quite complex, expensive, and very niche. That's why I find it's best to optimize scenes for both types of toys.
Well I tested Sex on a cruise, and sure enough Handy movement is much much better than I'd previously experienced, nice work! One question I have, and I'm guessing its something to do with how you're using timeline, but is it possible to move the female atom? If I move her before starting, it slowly moves back to the default position once timeline starts. Trying to fix alignment for a look with some non standard proportions, and usually a simple nudge on the Y and Z axis for timeline cowgirl scenes does the trick, but positions seem locked down more than I'm used to.
As mentioned by @Case , TBD's BodyNet is an excellent tool. One thing to add is that my scenes are debugged specifically for default Genesis 2 Female geometry. The "tall" version of Alana is very close to the same dimensions and will line up the same as G2F in almost all cases. If your look has very different geometry, BodyNet is probably your best bet.
I'm very glad you were happy with Sex on a Cruise. I put extra care and attention into my scenes to make them the highest quality I can. This includes going back to update old scenes so they are on par with my newest work. I focus on quality over quantity, so please be patient with me if it seems like my content releases are slow. I love making VaM scenes, this is my passion. I hope you enjoy your stay!I wasn't aware of the parenting to an empty trick! That's super useful thank you! Worked perfectly. I know about bodynet, and its a great tool, but I personally really like the immersiveness of having realistically varied looks. Anyway, champagne part 2 is excellent, and with a bit of tweaking had it running in passthrough, and working perfectly with theHandyAs mentioned by @Case , TBD's BodyNet is an excellent tool.

To answer your question, I do animate the root node of the girl in my mocaps. The reason being, I usually need to make adjustments to her position relative to the man, as motion capture isn't 100% accurate. Even when it's off by a little bit, it can completely screw up the penetration, and also TCode alignment. The quickest and easiest way for me to fix this is to animate her root so she stays centered.
One way you can get around this is to parent her to an empty atom and then move the empty atom. This will shift her entire animation, including the root.
Thank you for the sub!
. You all are wizards.
