you need to update Vam through "VaM_Updater.exe" , "Sync / Repair Core" would suffice.
i mentioned that if you face any problems you need update vam in the Overview of plugin.

Wow it was so obvious I forgot that i needed to update VAM.

I would like a small menu for entering coordinates. I have to do a lot of things to get to them.

no problem , sound like a good idea.

hi, sorry this is taking a little bit more time than usual , im just kinda busy these days.
anyway, i created a wip UI and want some opinions , UI is not my strongest suit.

im running outta space here , but i think this is intuitive enough.
the eye symbol is a feature that i want for myself , basically whenever i want to make the eyes move i need to interact with VAM ui which is painfully slow for such a simple operation. this button is for toggling the eye->look at player and eye none settings.

I think the interface can be made many times more compact.

You can take the interface of games from Illusion as a basis.

For maximum compactness, you can use this part.

The height of the input cells can be taken from existing buttons.

Ruvik updated PosingHelper with a new update entry:

ANNIVERSARY UPDATE, new precise input window , eye toggle button and some fixes.

. it has been one year since i released the first version which was terrible, it came a long way.
. new window for enter precise coordinates for nodes (and reset button) (credit: SinFear ).

View attachment 325848
. eye toggle(green = eye is on player , white = eye is set to whatever it was before )
View attachment 325849
. fixed a few issues with mirroring ...

Happy birthday, PosingHelper!!! ?????

Hi,

I like PosingHelper very much, it helps me a lot to create animations quite quickly in desktop mode. But I keep having an issue with Y axis (green fields). When using it for moving up, it doesn't work or works very under-sensitive (very small node movement after a lot of mouse movement). Down movement on Y axis is fine, as well as on all other fields, including "yx" (green-red) and "yz" (green-blue). For the rotation, it's the opposite: down movement causes (almost) no rotation while up movemement works fine. It feels like a some kind of calibation problem, but I have no idea where to start looking for possible solutions.

I am moving person atom a lot and never noticed that Y movement is different in different axis.. that seems weird indeed. Doesn't happen for me though. I will play around later and see if I can reproduce it.

that's weird, all mouse movement are treated equally in terms of sensitivity, try missing with the slider values in the VAM plugins tab.

Ruvik updated PosingHelper with a new update entry:

move menu overhaul ,shoulder node ,eye button ,"Align to from scene" shortcut ,help menu and more ..

move menu overhaul:
View attachment 362232
. choose between 4 alignments instead of the previous 2
. choose to either input values directly or use the arrows

Align To From Scene:
. RMB + ctrl on any node and select where to align it with

Eye Button:
. you can now change the atom "eyes look at" mode from the UI
. LMB= cycle between (player and target) , RMB=open eye target UI , MMB=set eye mode to none.

New Help...

I have a question. I have been using timeline to record in VR. I use embody, but the problem is, when I start recording in VR, my poses are not saved when i record, and it just records the default hand position when I playback in timeline. Is there a solution to this?

 

[alwaysblue]

can someone help me, I want to save a specific finger movement in the timeline but you cant add fingers as a keyframe in the timeline how do you do it?

check the video in the overview section, you're supposed to:
1- import the animation found in this package
2- after posing go to timline->more..->advanced ->keyframe float params

unfortunately on the current version of timeline there's no way for my plugin to automate this process.

I have a question. Why does Ruvik_Fingers_advanced have no effect on VAMTimeline? Thank you.

!> Timeline: Atom 'Person' does not have a storable 'plugin#1_Ruvik.PHFingerSliders'. It might be loading, try again later.

It's because your Ruvik.PHFingerSliders is not as #1 in your plugin list. You can manually change each #1 to any number in animation's .json file. I think that for current scene simply deleting plugin that has #1 in your list, then adding Ruvik should make it occupy #1 slot.

Is it possible to put interfaces in "HAND" tab?

This would allow plugin to be used in VR ?

 

[VL_13]

And one more question: is this the way it's meant to be, or is something not working correctly for me?
When moving mouse up-down, head turns right-left. and when moving left-right , head tilts

i've seen some plugins do things like these , so it should be possible , but i don't know how it would work. maybe if you tell me what's on your mind we can get somewhere.

i think it's working correctly, front-back is rotate around the z Axis. it's all depends on which way the character is facing. you can read about it in the local-global-node-camera based alignments in the help menu.

Knowing that there are many tabs that are not used in any way - it seems to me that it is reasonable to use them for UI placement. But i don't know anything about coding. I can't tell you anything about it.

OK, since this function (rtation by hotkey) is very rarely used; UI is enough for this + buil-in VAM rotation works fine. I think its not worth wasting time on this and paying a lot of attention to it. I was just interested to know...nothing more
---
I have a couple other suggestions:
1. Add ability to create quick links between controllers without unnecessary pressing of builtin buttons. I.e. duplication of builtin function by hotkey (e.g. R_ALT+rmb):


2. Use shortcut to open tab with physic properties of selected controller:


*highlighted parameters are most frequently used.
Such a simple feature - will save a lot of time when configuring poses

great suggestions , I'll hopefully add them in the next update.

I will second idea of shortcut to navigate to physics tab - I use it a lot too. You can right click to select and then navigate manually, but having shortcut will save a lot of time in a long run!
