Hello! It's this time of the month again. I'm still working on that scene I talked about. This turned out more time consuming that expected. Well, kind of expected. I'm still figuring out how I want to solve some problems, that's why I won'...

Your most essential MacGruber tools in a convenient single VAR package. Version 7 introduces the PowerHandles plugin that was teased a week ago and is intended for heavy users of the VaM Desktop mode.

Just a little idea I had on the side to for easier placement of stuff when using VaM Desktop mode. I was annoyed by often accidentally rotating instead of moving and vice versa. So now you can only see/use the move handles when holding CTRL and the rotation handles when holding ALT. You can also use the global coordinate syst...

That is of course not recognized by VaM, causing unknowing users...

Hi! In the beginning of this month I had a poll and my patreons (you!!) voted for me building a fancy scene. So I'm working on that, but it will still be a while. Note that can't commit to any particular release date or feature set, it will be done when it is done.

SecretRoom is not just one room, it's a playroom construction kit. Version 4 mainly adds the "AdjustableChair" that was teasered already a few days ago. However, I also took the time to update the included demo scenes, using current plugin versions and improving animations by using IdlePoser instead of boring CycleForces. Add...
