Isn't it better to always use appearance preset instead of look preset?
If you check the ( ), it doesn't really matter. Both ("Look Presets" listed as "Look Legacy") as well as "Appearance Preset" (listed as "App Preset") pretty much save the exact same stuff -- the Look preset in fact saves "Atom names" in addition to what "App Presets" can save.

There's no easy way to put it, because you might need different approaches:
  • if the "downloaded" look comes with a scene itself, open it, press "U" to show the UI, press "E" to open the "Edit" mode, press "N" to select the character (you might need to do this multiple times if there are more than one character), then select "Control & Physics 1" and then "Save Look..." to save the look of the downloaded character.

  • now open the scene in which you want to replace the character, again type "U" then "E" then "N" until you've selected the character you want to replace, and select "Control & Physics 1" --> "Load Look..." and load the saved look.

  • if the downloaded look does NOT provide a scene, you might need to either:
    1. follow the second step described above (load a look preset onto a character) if the downloaded character just comes with a "Look preset"
    2. follow the second step described above, but instead of loading a "Look Preset" you might need to select "Appearance Presets" --> "Select Existing..." if the downloaded look comes with a "Appearance Preset"

Once you've selected a character in Edit mode, there's also a TAB called "Clothes" where you can select/deselect any type of clothes your character is wearing.

Can someone help me, my pc specs are i5 gen 12 gpu 3060 but cpu and gpu always run as 100% Is it normal?
GPU running at 100% -- most probably: yes. CPU running at 100% -- no.

As it seems you're relatively new to VaM, I'd recommend watching some basic tutorial first (like for example) and make yourself kinda familiar with the basics. VaM has a very deep learning curve, and it's not easy to get used to it.

does anyone here know how to create a second view? Like a TV showing a camera angle?

I want to create a second point of view that shows what a camera is filming or something like that. I have see this in some scenes but don't know how to replicate.

There's an atom called "WindowCamera" which can be added to any scene and which has two controls: the basic "control" which represents the camera itself and can be positioned and pointed anywhere you like (you also need to check "Camera enabled" in its "Camera" tab!), and the 2nd control is called "DisplayControl" which represents the display showing the output from the camera, and again can be put anywhere you like and sized to any size you want.

IIRC there should also be a couple of plugins that "emulate" that behavior i.e. on a screen of a mobile phone or tablet, and some you can add to a monitor atom itself for a second POV of your scene.

I've decided to download VaM yesterday again but every big download (larger than 300mb) get stuck while downloading, anyone know if there is a fix? I've never had this problem the other times I've used th ingame hub, but now every big file gets stuck in the middle of download and there isn't even a "cancel download" button

That's 100% an issue on your end, and nobody here will be able to provide a fix without any further details (and tbh: this isn't the right place to address this issue). But there are a couple of workarounds:
  • use a download manager which is able to recover interrupted downloads
  • use the "VaM_Updater.exe" from the dev's , which also is able to recover from interrupted downloads
  • talk to your ISP to get your issue fixed

That happens often with me I honestly just copy the link and download through the browser.

man...that really improved my game. I was using mirros to get second pov but with limited results.

But now I just need to know two things: do you know how can I change the output resolution? And the only way to increase the output size is by the scale slider?

Thanks again anyway.
