You need to get the paid version for UIassist for the mentioned funcionality. So either get it here at f95 or at KemonoThanks for the reply. Where do I get the UIAssist and the Scene Ninja?
When I used the plug-in to record, the frame rate suddenly became extremely low, resulting in a very low frame rate for the converted video.Check the link you posted -- it explains in all detail how to use the plugin. Quote:
"Simply add the plugin (.cslist) to the object from which you want to render (such as an Empty). You do not need the shader source files to use the plugin, they are included to enable people to change the plugin functionality if they want. The images will be saved to the "VaM\Saves\VR_Renders" folder. You can leave filename empty to use an automatic timestamp as the filename."
It renders a bunch of images, which you then have to combine to a video -- and this process is explained on the same site as well. Quote:
"You can merge the rendered image sequences to videos using Avidemux (GUI) , FFmpeg (command line) or another program of your choice.Avidemux is probably easiest, you just drag and drop the first image in the sequence (xxx_000000.png) into the Avidemux window, alongside your recorded audio WAV file. You can also combine several different sequences into a single video by dragging in each one (assuming they are the same frame rate). From there you can set your encoding options, add additional audio and also apply various post-processing filters. Set your frame rate under Filters -> Change FPS. Typically you may want to encode in x265 or x264 codec to MP4 muxer, choose your bitrate quality level (CRF), and for very high resolution VR content (4K and above) you may need to set certain options like "IDC Level" (higher) and under tuning "fast decode" to make sure your video looks great but can also play back smoothly without lag.For FFmpeg, you need to place the exe file into the "Saves\VR_Renders\" folder. Basic command line usage is as follows:ffmpeg -framerate 60 -i output8k/output8k_%06d.jpg -i music.mp3 -c:v libx265 -tune:v fastdecode -level:v 6.2 -crf 20 output8k.mp4
"
It's all there in the link you posted, and I think it's a very detailed explanation on how to use the plugin.
What else do you want to know?
That's how this plugin is supposed to work: reduce the frames-per-second (FPS) so VaM can render frame after frame and then save those rendered images into a directory. Afterwards you'll need to recombine those still images to a movie. So if you want to record a 30FPS movie using this plugin, you will get 30 single images for each second of the final movie, but it might take up to several minutes for the plugin to create those images. But once you have combined those still images and saved them as a movie, you should get a smooth 30FPS video as a result.When I used the plug-in to record, the frame rate suddenly became extremely low
I can help you. Send me your discord name. I'll add youHello, I'm new in this Virt-A-Mate thing, and I found all of this so difficult for newcomers it's insane. Does anybody knows if there's some kind of all in one thing I can download somewhere ?
I searched for content here and there, there's no installation instructions, no way to know what I need, so many mods, so many dependencies, I'm so lost. I think I need models and scenes, but none of those two are called so in the threads I found
I found this all in one "paywall content" but all links are dead and the thread is now closed for whatever reason, I guess they wanted to make it more clear for people but for me it's the exact opposit. If a kind soul can share me some help, I would be so grateful
There's no such thing as an "all in one" download -- there are Terabytes (!) of content out there, and that's definitely something you don't want to clutter your VAM installation with.Hello, I'm new in this Virt-A-Mate thing, and I found all of this so difficult for newcomers it's insane.

Thanks, I will try to find some stuff on the Hub Browser then. You gave me a good starting point, thanks a lot for that. I will also check this YT playlistThere's no such thing as an "all in one" download -- there are Terabytes (!) of content out there, and that's definitely something you don't want to clutter your VAM installation with.
The best start would be to download a "plain" VaM (from the OP) and then use the integrated "Hub Browser" to download some FREE looks or scene to get familiar with VaM itself. Once you get more accustomed to VaM and how it works, and you know what you want to get in addition to what you can find for free on the Hub, you can start downloading content from creators themselves over on Patreon and various other sites and also from here for example. But again, that's something I would advice you to do once you've kinda learned how to use the very basics of VaM using free scenes and looks to start with.
There's a very goodYou must be registered to see the linkson YT which (although some of those videos are quite old) covers a lot of the basic questions and how to operate VaM, you should definitely check it out.
Thank you greatly for your help. To answer your question, I'm trying to figure things out, I tried to download some stuff here and there but now my "scene tab" is really messy. I think the models are also scenes, and I need to save them as models.Sadly there isn't an "all in one" solution to VAM. Because the software's capabilities are too wide. It's like trying to find an "all in one" solution to Roblox or Minecraft... including the additional fact that anyone can create their own tools\scripts for VAM.
Start simple is my suggestion. What are you trying to do at the moment?
edit: As mickey mentioned above, the best method is to indeed get a FREE look from VAM hub with 1 simple FREE scene. If in 5 minutes, you manage to get that working flawlessly, then you're off to a great start. I agree -> avoid <- downloading tons of content (as tempting as it is).. Nowadays I don't use more than a handful of plugins. You'll find out what you prefer best, the more you use VAM.
I personally didn't watch those YT videos though... I preferred bashing my head against the wall and pressing all the buttons in VAM to understand things.
Here's a quick tip: you can "Hide" scenes from your scene tab:...now my "scene tab" is really messy...

You can't run this (or any) program from within the archive itself, you definitely have to unpack it first. But from what I understand you tried to extract it, but it failed without you knowing what exactly the issue is. So it's hard to give you a good advise on how to fix that issue.so after downloading the full file, i attempt to extract it and winrar throws up an error message with nearly no info as tot he issue. when i go to simply run the program from the rar folder it throws up the same issue. is there something i am missing?
