male atom mods to increase vr fps/performance ? only need penis

[rokoc]

been pondering about this a while. in vr my own scenes are seated (pov solo lap dance or girls riding) i don't really need a male atom to possess and don't care if i cant see torso, legs arms etc. all i need is the business end

a dildo can work to get things going with the likes of the bodylangauge plugin but the dildo doesn't have as much functionality/features as a male atoms tadger which plays nicer with a few plugins over the dildo. also benefits of the dildo instead of male atom is night and day with fps getting nearly 60fps on a 2060 super.

is there anyway to basically disable body part physics and collision or even completely remove from sight and leaves only physics for the old meat and two veg ? could doing that even increase performance to begin with. im aware of the plugin to change alphas to hide parts but i don't think that would help with performance ?

just thinking out loud

I don't think you can just have collision physics in some parts of the male body, it's probably all or nothing. If you have the male with no soft physics, clothes, hair, built-in skin or morphs, you may be able to get more FPS, but the best would be to try it out yourself.
Usually the bigger gains are on the female atom's side and lights, glute physics if not needed can bring in major savings.

Can't say anything about the performance but for penis only without body you can check this plugin out: https://hub.virtamate.com/resources/disembody.39634/

All male body hair, including beards should have sim disabled. This can give a significant FPS boost. Not sure if you're using that, but it's worth noting.

I highly recommend using the Character Transparency plugin on the male figure, especially if you use passthrough:

Character Transparency

You can alpha out the whole body or individual body parts as desired. The skeleton nodes continue to function as normal except you aren't rendering anything. Though, since most male looks are usually bald and without a lot of extra, I imagine that the skeleton nodes have the largest impact on performance, but the skeleton is necessary for much more than just animation, at least with the character transparent you wouldn't be spending any resources on rendering most or all of the character.

You could also just swap in a lookalike dildo prop and arrange it where the guy's dick is in the scene.
