Unity Virt-A-Mate [v1.22.0.3] [Meshed VR]

Any suggestions for how to optimize the var's from vecterror and CadillacV8? ...

I highly advice you to not do this, but here's how you could reduce the amount of "clutter" which those *.var files might add to your installation: unpack those *.var files (manually, or by using the integrated Package Manager) and delete all the stuff you don't want and which isn't needed for the "look" (if you just want to keep the look itself).

The issue with this is: you'll need to know exactly what's needed and what's not. And you will end up with a lot of loose files, which is not what you want. Also, if another resource has this *.var file as dependency, you'll need to re-download it again anyways (VaM doesn't know if you have the *.var file installed if it's unpacked).

So in general: you don't want to mess with *.var files. If your VaM gets "too slow" because you have "hundreds of these" bloated *.var files installed, maybe it's a better idea to get rid of some of them, because I doubt you will use all of them. 80% of them you probably don't ever use ;-)

Suppose that I don't re-download the var file (so I only have the loose files installed), would the dependent var still "work"?

Not sure if its the right place to ask, but does anyone know what skin texture mod o.n.a uses?

Is that even VAM? looks more like Honey select.
Maybe?

It depends. It depends on which files the dependent *.var needs, and whether those are the same you kept or deleted. In any case, you will always have an unresolved "missing dependency" error after starting VaM, unless you edit that *.var file as well...

That's why I suggest to never edit any *.var files in general.

I don't really care about "missing dependency" errors anymore because creators have been abusing the dependency system, adding random unnecessary dependencies that require huge downloads for no good reason. I've been manually trimming some of the worst offenders and then repacking them into a single var to cut down on the bloat, but vecterror literally has hundreds of vars and trimming them manually will take ages

Maybe explaining your issue better might help?

I may suggest unpacking the VAR with the in-game file manager (Like mickey said) this useually improves load times.
If the VAR is related to a scene, load up the scene delete unwanted shit and save the scene as a new one without that crap and viola a cleaner faster loading scene.

If the VAR is a character than In my experience textures are the longest loading time files. Finding what girls use what texture and unpacking that specific var cuts down load times significantly.

Another things is CUA's (custom unity assets?) as they are models with textures too. They can often also take a while to load.

Are you sure it's a valid MP3 file you're trying to add? Because VaM thinks it's not a valid one. Maybe it's another audio format with just a *.mp3 extension by accident?

I've attached a free MP3 sample, which I've downloaded

, and which I could successfully load into VaM -- try this one to see if it works. It did work for me, here's the proof:

Jokes aside, it really worked with the attached MP3 file, so give it a try.

Thank youuuu

Thank youuuu

You're welcome -- were you able to fix your issue?

VAM currently stucks on it's limitations many scenes aren't interesting at all and many things just repetitions not much innovation and innovative results you mostly find on the HUB not on Patreon.
also C&G his work becomes repetitive over time the X thousands dance over and over and over

there are very few who bring some interesting ideas virtualharem for example is one of them lately nicho made some awesome timeline results which are more worth than many of those useless patreon releases combined.
And currently our GOD is on the run for innovating in new UIX ideas for VAM and Remote Character Collaboration
Eosin should of course be mentioned with his awesome (VR) Video Recording implementation work as well as
imakeboobies released a super nice rigging converter tool for CUAs which makes it possible to import the IK directly and make it working directly in VAM as normal nodes like any normal Person Atom which soon should make external content now fully Animateable in the VAM Pipeline

And he Demoed his work also with Ghast right out of Unreal from Project Helius Paralogue: Fallen Doll Operation Lovecraft

Still we are on a High RUN of new innovations by many awesome minds even in the times of our highest limitation which pushes us back for much more crazy results

Do you know how to use the video recording plugin you mentioned？Eosin Video Renderer？How to use this plug-in to record vr 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?

oh, its the rabbit hole of vam. full of the insanity of a side show circus.

one of the appeals of crazy3d is like that 'Find The Frog' series you may or may have not seen where a guy remixes other people's mocaps with Gerudo Valley characters or thick legged Capcom fighters. He places a hidden pepe hidden somewhere that becomes hypnotized locating.

That is how crazy3d is. A banned lunatic from here and vamhub where they have made the most outrageous claims and story background on NoOC and official vam discord. Trying their hardest to sometimes not so regularly make new puppet accounts on the store under new accounts for paid releases where it becomes a game to detect them to report.

The old megathread. in particular their banned account Vam2.xin3050 when it seemed everyone was against them. That particular account went on about 20 pages of everyone against them and they diligently flooded whining about their validity of reselling daz3d content.

Their two big scandals they were involved with over the last year was on official vam discord of stealing another user's Penis to flood their patreons with futas. The creator Weeb, being a respectful creator, didn't take kindly to it and that discord chatlog has around 20 pages itself of screen shots of photoshop detective work by them in a screaming match of pirating each others work. They also were so confident in a reoccuring $300 monthly charge to lifetime patreons. They are 110% scammer and idiot of the scene that makes a mockery of themselves.

Krosos on the other hand, well is just Krosos. I noticed they edited their post again with some Zak McKraken nose disguise on the lady. He's kinda on that Marcel DuChamp level of C'est l'art, where that dude in the 1900's had a toilet urinal on art display.

So you see. Insanity at one level, and insanity that's not the same at another level. VAM is just full of madness and real people .... not some nameless existence of nothingness that F95 moderator, RedKnight, crusaded to shut down the 900 page VAM Megathread ... which not everyone can appreciate.

And if a floodwall of +1 responses on an image wall is your thing there is always https://f95zone.to/forums/completed-asset-requests.97/

gawd i can only imagine how you guys feel about MY posts >_<

Guys, there is this one scene called 'Virtual Sweetheart' in which the game takes an absurd amount of time to load. It gets stuck in restoring atom contents for ~5 minutes. Then it loads properly. All other scenes have normal load times.

Is there anything I can do to edit this scene to load faster?

I could take a look.
You using the free or paid version?

Additionally neither are on the hub. Did you manually download them?

things to keep in mind when you are going to run VAM (from my perspective):
1) + 6VRAM (8 and up) and 16 RAM (32 recommended) with an SSD almost mandatory.
2) if you have less than that, it would be recommended to freeze the animations/collision before loading the scene.


and install this plugin if you preview less than 60fps-(it is much better than setting the performance that VAM brings by default)

Hey, I just downloaded Virt-a-mate. I also downloaded some female character assets and a scene. Where do I put it to make it work? Also, how can I replace an existing model with another one?

Should I run the VaM (Desktop Mode).bat, since I'm on desktop? Thanks!
