This build fixes and improves a lot on the pose system, and brings some of the mocap-oriented features I wanted to add. So technically the major features are all there! I'll now enter stabilization, which includes mostly small fixes and quality of life improvements. There's one feature I might still implement though, and it's a counter for mocap recording that's more visible than the VaM's help...

2021-08-01 03:29:33 +0000 UTC View PostI have a few partially implemented features but it's stable, as far as I can tell! As usual this is an alpha, make a backup of your scene and save a little bit more often (I work in v5 all the time so I'm pretty confident the basic features work fine)
I started this scene to try and see how I could create intimacy using Glance and closeups. I think this worked surprisingly well, I hope you'll also like it! There's a cuddles scene that I think is very soothing too. It's overall pretty simple but there are a lot of variations, so take your time and have fun!
I'll post videos on Discord and Twitter another day :)

Now, I have some scenes that require Embody and I know quite a few of you have scenes you want to release for free; so on the 20th of July, Embody will be free for everyone!
There was a tremendous amount of feedback from all of you, mostly positive and a few bugs here and there, but recently it's been pretty quiet. I guess things are working well for most of you now!

I'm now at a point where I need to do stabilization; that will include some additional features, but mostly bug fixes and usability improvements... but I formalized the list and it's... chubby. So instead of trying to do a little bit of each, I'd like to focus on fully stabilizing and moving to actual early access all the betas I have released in the last two months.
I could also leave ev...
2021-06-02 00:53:54 +0000 UTC View PostI've been swamped lately, so instead of making you all wait for me to test things and finish adding the QoL features I envision, I'll let you try the current, poorly tested build. This is an opportunity to give feedback, and for those of you who were waiting for some features Timeline 5 contains, you should be able to use them.

2021-05-27 02:58:30 +0000 UTC View PostHey fellow vammers! Now that Glance, DesktopLeap and Embody are out, I'm back working on Timeline. I already have great things working:

- Morphs live recording (e.g. Leap Motion fingers motion can be recorded and played back)

It's been a long and painful road but I think Embody is now mature enough for a beta. Keep in mind, this is not a full official release and you should expect some issues, but as far as I can tell it's stable enough most of you should be fine. This will be a patrons-only release for now until I get a reasonable amount of validation that the plugin works as intended. So please, if you do download...

Glance 2, already? Yep! There's a load of improvements to behavior and integration, and thanks to MacGruber it now works with Life! Glance strength is head-driven eye behavior and Gaze (the plugin in Life that handles head and eye movement) can now be use to drive Glance. This means you get the best of both wor...

Sometimes when you talk with people you tend to forget not everyone was in on the conversation! So, some of you were confused by those cool hand videos and what the plugin actually does. So here's some information:

This is an early version, but it is fully functional. It will work when the Leap Motion is placed on your desk; there's no setup for neck or head setups yet. Settings are also limited; you can offset the hands center and tilt the leap (for example if it is on an angled keyboard) but you cannot tilt hands or tweak physics. I will probably review and improve this later, but in he meantime, have f...

Hi everyone!
For those who follow me on Discord, you know I've been spending ridiculous amounts of time building Embody, a one stop shop for all possession purposes. It integrates and improves on Improved PoV, Passenger and Snug, adds many new features, automates hands possession and keeps a profile for your height, vive trackers etc. It also includes a wizard that walks you through the m...

This is the same scene as before, except it now also includes separate Timeline animations that you can import in your scenes to quickly get the same facial animations and idle movements.
You need to get Glance first!
2021-03-25 03:32:43 +0000 UTC View Post- You can focus eyes on player using a trigger (e.g. when touching)
- Clamp eyes rotation magnitude so looking at corners won't go too far
- Configure max allowed rotation (can't go further than what VaM allows though)
- Immediately lock on a object on quick turning (e.g. looks at you when turning head towards you)
- Larger default field of view (lower is better in most animations, ...
- Improved quick turn; will blink faster during quick turn, reduced vertical predictive movement, continuous refocus, avoid locking until quick turn is complete
The last build(s) didn't behave correctly during quick turn, so it was revamped and it's much better now.
