Figure Cycle Force addon - allows adding some simple motion to any Figure
Hmm seems like its still too early to play around in, eh?

Looks like focus has been mostly on character importing (which should be priority)

Thanks for the update list

Guess I'll wait a bit longer until the tools are more mature, before re-subbing

How is vam2 looking? Does it still run like crap, take ages to load and needs tons of plugins for basic stuff or does it feel like modern software? Any video previews on it or its not far along to even show anything? Cant even find a screenshot of a vam2 appearance.

It's always run amazingly well compared to VAM1 and looks much, much, better. problem is functionality is still waaaay behind.

Graphically it looks promising...but the functionality is still nearly 100% unusable...not to mention the GUI extremely unintuitive. No one wants to jump through that many hoops just to blast one out.lmao... At this point it's still a dumpster fire unfortunately. :rolleyes: If they massively simplify the GUI it MIGHT have a better chance at impressing.. but for now..VAM1 is more then adequate for me personally...

The UI is terrible. And everything is packaged as UnityFS bundles. I hope it's only for the beta cause if this packaging stays it will make casual editing of images/audio/etc impossible. And if creators continue their VAM1 bad practices of packing everything in a VAR with VAM2 and UnityFS bundles, it will make cleaning them up quite difficult.

There some new screen shot tutorials (new to me anyways) with the addon kit update.

It eats up the GPU
It's not optimized at all
It's like you're rendering or mining bitcoin whole the time :\
Just because there is no VSYNC and it deliver the max fps your GPU can go. If you limit your fps to 60 driver side, it will run cooler.
EDIT VSync is there but there is no max fps settings, so with high hz monitor it will fry your gpu, the solution is the same.

How can I load the base scenes in? When I click load and select a file, nothing happens.
