So which VAM updater should I get? The [VIRUS] (lel) one from here or the patron one?
Btw, why did they label it as a virus? If it's really a virus, then it should be deleted.
I've explained why the file attached to OP is marked as VIRUS (and that it isn't one) here just a few days ago. In the same post I also suggested to use the more recent VaM_Updater from Patreon anyways, because the one from OP is very outdated.

the keys don't work
They "Creator" key does. 100%. I can proof it (it works for me), many others are using that key as well without having issues, and even the creater of VaM himself posted that 1.21 keys work for versions 1.22, too.

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
it's funny how the need you feel to answer every post make you say nonsensical things :D not a problem at my end, as some other user that actually had something to say said, I'm resorting to download large files from the HUB using a browser

Well, you posted that you've decided to download VaM again, but you can't download files larger than 300 MB, and you've asked "anyone know if there is a fix?". I provided 3 tips on how you can "fix" or at least "work around" any issue with downloading/installing VaM. If that's "nonsensical" to you, don't blame me for trying to help.

Now you're saying that another user helped by saying you should download larger files through the Hub, although you were talking about "installing VaM". That's something completely different! If that was your issue from the very beginning, either I failed to understand your question (my bad, but you could have been more specific), or you failed to explain your issue.

And finally: if VaM fails to download larger files "in game" -- it's still an issue on your end! So at least the third "fix" I provided should still be viable.

Cheers!

It is just a filter thing. Press the gear and turn on sensitive content.

Maybe I didn't made myself very clear, and looking back at my response to you I was a bit rude, so I'm sorry for that. For what is worth at least you answered me, that's more than I got from the official VaM discord :(

I have a question on importing (.obj) to use as hair in VAM....

Can anyone point me in the direction to find a guide/tutorial on how to rig hair/get hair physics for imported "hair" (.obj) in DAZ studio for the genesis 2 female? (or explain it to me o_O)


I can't find a true step by step guide.

The only guide I found skipped a step & I'm lost. ( )

I'm stuck at this part (this screenshot is from their tutorial):



How the fk did they add the Genesis 2 Female hair bone structure?
In my situation, I'm importing .obj without the bone thing already (i'm huge noob started learning ~2 days ago)

Currently here:

I got this far too, but I think I need to add individual "child" bones into the face groups?


tl;dr
i want .obj hair to have physics & not be static

I've never done this myself, so I might not be much of a help, but have you looked at the video that's in the tutorial? It's not about hair in particular, but starting at about 8:50 he walks you through the steps of adding child bones. Maybe this help...?!

I'm not even sure if you need more than a single bone for your hair object, because (as far as I understand it) bones are used to "stick" the hair to a person (or a person's bone structure), so when you move/rotate the character's head, the hair object will "follow". I would assume that the physics of hair is done similar to how "sim clothes" work: you might be able to mark areas of the hair that are fixed (like the scalp that's attached to the head) and then mark the part of the hair that's "loose" and affected by physics. At least that's how it works on "sim clothes" -- but again, I've never done this myself, so I might be completely wrong.

Thank you for the detailed response. I will try & figure this out by today, your explanation really helps.

Recently,H014 has made some mind-blowing looks, all saved as rar files. The only way I'm able to view them is if I open them as "Scenes" though. I'm unable to use the "Load Look" option in VAM to apply one of his looks to a scene or pose. I need some help :(
