If you have never used E-Motion before it can be a little daunting when you see the options screen with 100's of sliders, but I have included some easy to use presets to get you going right away. The presets included in this version cover most use scenarios.
Start by selecting your character in VAM and clicking on the Plugins tab
Click Add at the top, this will add a new line to the plugin list
Click Select File... on the new line to open the browser
find VRAdultFun.Emotion_Final in the list on the left, or just type VRAdultFun into the search
Inside the VAR select the file E-Motion_AddThisONLY.cslist and click OK
Click Open Custom UI on the E-Motion plugin
Click the Load Preset button at the top
On the left, select VRAdultFun.EMotion_Final from the list of VAR files to see the included presets
Select one of the presets and click ok!
Presets Included :
General Use Preset
This is the main preset and the one you should start with. Works on static scenes, animated scenes and BVH files. There are several versions, without sounds, gaze support etc.
Start with 'General Use Preset (No body motion)' if you are not sure
Full Features with Body Motion (with and without Gaze plugin support)
This preset is designed for ragdoll scenes, or scenes that let physics control the persons body. The entire body will be animated!
Personality Only
This preset is for special case scenarios, only the mood system and expressions are active. No eye control, head control, body control, just expressions and reactions
Adjusting Targets in E-Motion Final
By default E-Motion and the presets will use the Window Camera or VR Headset as the target of interest, however E-Motion works much better if you are possessing a character, or reacting to another animated character.
To set what target E-Motion should be interested in, open the plugin Custom UI and click the Target Settings tab
On this tab you can select a person using the drop-down menu and then activate them as the primary target.
You can also choose an object as a secondary target, this can be anything from another person to a toy or camera object
On this tab you can also adjust how interesting the different areas of the body are to E-Motion. If you find E-Motion is looking at something too much, lower its interest level on this tab so that it will be less likely to be chosen as the current interest. Setting them to 0 will stop E-Motion looking at that body part at all.
