The skin texture you can find in the
Custom\Atom\Person\Textures\FemaleBase subfolder is this one:
I'm not talking about that texture I'm talking about "Female 1" Base female texture i showed you above image.
Also from StreamingAssets which file has textures?

Didn't I say I've never done this? So how should I know?
But here are some uneducated guesses:
- there are skin sets for "Female 1" to "Female 17" -- and there are files called "f_1" / "f_1.mat" to "f_17" / "f_17.mat"
- there are eleven skin sets with a name (incl. "Female Dummy") -- and there are also 11 more "f_?" / "f_?.mat" files
- "Female 3" skin set is called "Olympia" -- you can find the word "Olympia" in the file "f_3.mat"
- "Female 8" skin set is called "Nyssa" -- you can find the word "Nyssa" in the file "f_8.mat"
- the file extension ".mat" could be an abbreviation for "material"

I did a quick test of the "Record" function yesterday, and it worked great: I selected a few "targets" that should be recorded (like the head, both hands and feet), hit record, and then just "wiggled" the character's head, each of their hands and so on -- and it has been recorded, so I was able to play it back afterwards!
The only thing I haven't figured out yet is how to tell the timeline plugin to only create a keyframe every 0.5 or 1 second (which might be enough for a smooth animation), because without that the recorded timeline had A LOT of keyframes
-- but then again I've never actively worked with the timeline plugin before, and I bet there are some great tutorials on how to do this the right way on Youtube or on the VAM hub.I might try the combination with the locomotion system later today, because I'm curious how that will work as well. I'll let you know if I have some new details...

Ok -- I couldn't wait, because I was way too curious on how that "locomotion" and "timeline" combination works to create your own walking simulation, so I setup a little test scene, and I'm really impressed how well that worked on my first try!
First I setup a basic scene with just a WoodPanel (to walk on), a base female character (collision enabled!) placed in the dead center, a cube, and an animation pattern (using the built-in animation system) consisting of four animation steps creating a circle animation, controlling a little cube (collision turned off) to go round and round:
I then added the "CLS.cslist" (the main plugin file for the locomotion system) to the character, and in the "Custom UI" of this plugin I set "Pos Target Atom" to "Cube" -- and the character immediately started to walk towards the cube:
Then I started the cube's animation, and the character was following the cube around the circle -- controlled by the locomotion plugin.
Now I added the timeline plugin to the female character as well, added various "Targets" to the plugin (head, neck, lHand, rHand, lFoot, rFoot, hip) and changed the length of my animation to 40 seconds (that's about how long the character needed to do a full circle in this scene):
Then I went to "More" --> "Record animation...", selected all the targets in the "Controls" overview, and hit "Start recording in 5...", and the timeline plugin recorded the walking animation produced by the locomotion system following the cube for 40 seconds:
After recording has finished, you can then click on "Go to reduce screen..." and reduce the number of keyframes:
Done! I finally disabled the "CLS" plugin for the female character (so she didn't follow the cube anymore controlled by the "locomotion" plugin), and instead played the recorded animation from within the timeline plugin -- and the character was starting to walk around the circle without the cube even moving!
To be fair: the recorded animation looked a bit weird, but I did not change any of the default parameters for "locomotion" and/or "timeline", so I guess with a little bit of tweaking you can get some really nice and decent animations! Also I might need to add some more "targets" to the recording, or remove some, still needs to be tested. But anyways, that's how you can create your own walking animation without using a full body capture using lots of trackers.

That's... weird. Usually it's the "Allow Possess/Grab" checkbox:
But I don't know how you would do that on a "Person" atom...?!
Is this a scene available from the Hub or something? If you could send me a link to that scene, I'd like to check for myself...

Good! I'm glad to hear that you were able to fix your crashes. I haven't had any crash in VAM in months, probably because I try to keep my VAM folders clean and organized:
- every "Look" I download, I load and test it to see if it works, and if I like it, I save the look as "Look Preset" using a template I made, so all the preview pictures look the same (and then I hide the "original" scene to have less clutter)
- every scene I download, I load and test it, and if it works and I like it, I save it under "Animation - ..." or "Environment - ..." or "Demo - ..." to kinda sort my scenes. I again then hide (all) the original scene(s)
- every *.var I download, which does **not** have any dependencies, is kinda "suspicious" to me. I will look into that *.var file, and if I see it has some "standard" clothes/plugins/assets packed inside, I will probably get rid of the *.var file completely -- because that's exactly what dependencies are for, to not have the same pair of shoes or the same clothes in multiple *.var files (unfortunately many C&G scenes do include those resources instead of referencing them, which is why I don't like them in general)
- multiple subfolders in "AddonPackages" keep my folder clean and organized

Wow dude thats lot work haha. but can u make how u organizer var,and wht template u mean dude. give a tutorial best way for organizer var.

I just have a simple "template" (as in "saved scene"), which I load when I'm about to save as look preset. That way all the screenshots basically have the same angle/light/setup and so on.
You can do pretty much whatever you like. I'm not using any external tools like VarManager, I just created a bunch of subfolders where I put my *.var file into:
- <CreatorName>
- Animation
- Clothes
- Environment
- Plugin
And about me saving all my favorite scenes (before "Hiding" the original scene): this is another way to "organize" stuff inside VAM:
I then can just search for "animation" "demo" or "environment" and don't have to remember to exact name of the original scene that I'm looking for.

Correct. As you can see in my 2nd screenshot above, there are no more "scenes" (except the Benchmark one) from any *.var files -- you can only see those which I saved myself using the naming convention I feel comfortable with.

aye cap.. i see..
i want ask bout how to make my peson turnarround with animation patern.

Create a simple animation which moves and rotates the female character:
- Add a base female character
- Position: 0/0/0
- Rotation: 0/0/0
- Add an "Animation Pattern"
- Position: doesn't matter (I put them to -1/1/1)
- Rotation: doesn't matter (I put them to 0/0/0)
- Receiver Atom: "Person" (or whatever your character is called)
- Receiver: "control"
- Click "Create Animation Step At End" in the "AnimationPattern" --> "Animation Pattern" tab
- This will create a new atom in your scene called "AnimationPatternStep1"
- Select "AnimationPatternStep1" --> "Control" --> "Move"
- Position: 0/0/0 (where your character is at)
- Rotation: 0/0/0 (the same rotation your character has)
- Select "AnimationPatternStep1" --> "Animation Step" tab (the 2nd one, the green-ish one)
- Change "Transition Time" to something like 5 seconds
- Click "Create Step After"
- This will create a new atom in your scene called "AnimationPatternStep2"
- Select "AnimationPatternStep2" --> "Control" --> "Move"
- Position: 0/0/3 (or whatever position your character should move to)
- Rotation: 0/0/0 (keep the rotation for now the same as the one you started with)
- Select "AnimationPatternStep2" --> "Animation Step" tab (the 2nd one, the green-ish one)
- Change "Transition Time" to something like 5 seconds
- Select "AnimationPatternStep2" --> "Control" --> "Move"
- Rotation: 0/90/0
Add more Animations steps as you like.
