Here is the next LogicBricks StateMachine tutorial, this one covering the advanced settings. How to save the scene properly, switching states through trigger, syncing with animations, using cooldowns, disabling states and the multiple choice system.

As said in my Monthly Report, I started producing video tutorials. The first 3 cover a bit of LogicBricks as well as a more generic introduction to VaM's trigger system, which is kind of a requirement to understand LogicBricks.

LogicBricks and CyberNight reached the end of their two week EarlyAccess and are now free! I used the chance for some maintenance.

Still working almost every day on my upcoming scene. Currently there are 5 main action poses: 3 different handjobs, fleshlight and riding crop. Each of those comes with lots of variations and seamless transitions between each other. Altogether I'm currently at 247 animations, many of which are parented/anchored to other anima...

Working on IdlePoser, figuring out how to better smooth the transition between states. Instead of the fixed Smoothstep curve I want to use quadratic ease in/out curves with a linear part in the middle. Parameters
