Shown in this image is the new breast soft physics self-collision option as requested by a long time backer (thanks MiniMax!!!)! Also shown are the new UISlider and UIToggle atoms, allowing for...

2020-03-27 23:52:41 +0000 UTC View PostThe Content Delivery Network (CDN) I'm using has stopped support for TLS 1.0 and 1.1. Windows 7 defaults to TLS 1.0. Many other sites and CDNs are planning similar deprecation of these protocols. Windows 7 is capable of supporting TLS 1.2. It just needs to be enabled.
Please apply this Windows 7 update to get the VaM up...

2020-03-18 23:00:43 +0000 UTC View PostThe current VaM_Updater.exe just broke due to changes on the CDN deprecating support for older versions of TLS. I have just released a new version of the updater that fixes this.

1.19 is very near completion and is in alpha state for internal testing. Unfortunately I will be away on a family trip next week, and I do not want to release to everyone right before leaving since there has not been enough time for testing. The new package builder and manager is quite complex and all of the in...

A little video showing some experimentation with the HDRP skin shader in VaM2. This shader has a blur pass which can allow for various levels of softness, including full-on fantasy (Illusion mode?). Bloom post-processing is on here, but at a very low level. Another aspect this video shows is the auto-exposure system, wh...

Just a ping to say I'm still working hard on 1.18.1 (yeah I probably should have just called it 1.19 given how long it has taken to complete!) and Hair Sim V3. While V3 was envisioned to mainly just add support for custom styling, along the way I decided to improve nearly every aspect of Hair Sim V3 over Hair Sim V2. Because ...

Hi All-
Custom hair is still coming along, but it looks like it will take another week or so to complete. Rather than make you all wait, we decided to release 1.18 as is in Beta form, and will followup with 1.18.1 with custom hair and bug fixes from bugs discovered in 1.18.0 Beta. All focus will be turned on custom hair...

Hi All!
1.18 is progressing nicely. These last few weeks have been very productive for our team. I realize it is taking a long time to get this release done compared to other major releases. There are multiple factors there:
I decided to do another 1.17.X update due popular requests to fix SteamVR pointer angle, fix broken Oculus native finger posing, and fix WMR finger posing issues (all of which have been addressed here).
