Only thing that affects how hair looks is pixel lights and antialiasing, I suggest having both on at least 4. Try messing with the sliders a bit, a lot of previews for hairs have reshade on them so I think that's the difference you're seeing
I'm talking about the external settings. I set everything maximum inside VAM.
So I got my hands on an Odyssey+ and so far it's nice. A pain to setup so to speak because others have wrote about how to set it up proper through SteamVR. shit crashes like a lot but in terms of the graphics, those problems i'm seeing are less noticeable since well inside VR is entirely different.
As you do in almost every other version that has been published so far: press "U" to open the game menu, then select "Edit Mode", press the blue plus sign ("Add Atom"), select "Category: People", "Atom: Person" and click "Add Atom". Done.
The Load and Save Look under the Control menu of the character was mind blowing to me. For me it is best feature of VAM. It makes it really easy to switch up the girl/guy of your favourite scenes. I haven't seen it talked about in any of the tutorials I have seen so far.
I'm having fun with the available scripts and plugins people have made. Look up Compliance and Real Gaze, Emotions..
I haven't looked much into scripts and stuff yet, but yeah it is crazy what you can do in this program.
You still can (read and) use the PowerShell-Script which is also included, and I think the .exe is just a pre-compiled version of that script, but I can't tell you for sure. I never used any Keygen, I get my keys via Email by Meshed himself because I'm a subscribed patron.
No idea what that 1 engine is alerting on, only warning I see is file not signed (cause I just threw it together in visual studio). Here's the C# source if you want to build it yourself. FYI if you're dubious/curious about any .NET exe you can use dnSpy to see what it's doing. That's how I found the key method in the first place.

}I don't know about that, VR on its own is very resource heavy, and I wouldn't say this is any worse per specs, least from what people told me about using it with their vr setups. And the desktop version (the one I use) runs very well on my I3 8100, 8gb ram, and gtx 970. Only time I dipped low (solid 40fps) was when I script hogged a scene to try and recreate a crash.
As of its current stage Virt-a-Mate does a require a decent CPU in the first place. Because all of the physics related stuff is calculated by the CPU and not the GPU (iirc), and there are some engine based limitations right now, so the game does not take full advantage of multi-core-multi-threaded CPUs.
It gets easier once you settle in. It's literally like going into an aircraft and seeing all these buttons being overwhelmed.
