no, its a paid clothing by VL_13

make a copy of it by Preset/Custom > Open in Creator. then change store name (i think) and display name so it doesn't conflict with original. so now you have two identical copies of same clothing. now edit the alpha texture of one of them to hide it.
edit: nevermind. i just checked this clothing has both the UVs (uv of each side) overlapping with each other. why did the creator make it like this? i have no fucking clue. it only takes 2 secs to separate them when you making it. now we cant just paint over one alpha like i said before cos it will actually apply to both hiding both of em.
edit 2: i exported the model, separated it in blender and imported it back. now it should be properly separate.

Hi, maybe someone had a similar problem. in the folder with images, some screenshots have a monotonous texture, instead of the pictures I took. I also noticed so far that one character has a body part with the same texture as the pictures. I will be glad of any help

Mirroring objects won't generate new uv space for the mirrored object nor will it be desired in most cases. Typically uv space is limited in character creation for games since body, face, hair, and outfit may all be confined to one single uv tile/texture map.
You can edit the uvs of the new object and give its on spot for texturing.

is it possible to play the game like honey select, or is it purely for virtual AV video creators? there's no transition between actions and feels a lot like the HS2 studio neo even with the vamX mod.

i think you misunderstood what i meant. i wasnt talking about new uv when i said "seperate", just meant new spot on same uv space. the last sentence in your message is exactly wat i was trying to say. vl_13 could have used a different spot for texturing, tools like substance painter already support symmetry if same uv. if you take a look at some of his older works like VL_13.Body_BP.1, the UVs are all kinds of messed up!

yea if uv is fucked then u need to export it, tweak, then import back. exporting the wrapped model from vam is considered piracy in main discord channel (i think), or just frowned upon idk. so you wont see many guides on it. but theres this one video i found on . he modified the plugin mentioned in vid so it can export mesh too. link in yt description is dead, heres . import obj in blender make changes, then before exporting select all vertices (press A), press M (merge), by distance, then export. now import it in daz, choose poser preset and 10000% scale (see if its fits the genesis 2 model properly). now saveas > scene subset > only tick the model we imported. now you can import the duf file in vam with clothing creator. after making it you might have to change smooth iteration for clothing to zero, i had to do for this specific thing or it would look wonky. open .vaj in the directory of clothing u just made, find "smoothIterations" and set to 0. done.
you can find many guides on clothing creation etc. all stuff i mentioned above, in guides section on discord or vamhub. only stuff u wont find is the exporting wrapped model part. thats a little illegal :p

The wardrobe plugin is a good thing. Don't let anyone tell you otherwise. If there is anything you want to change or think needs fixing, then fix it. Most modders don't want to be bothered with every little nitpick someone has. Surprised they want this locked down so much with this doesn't exist among many other modding communities.

If the decal you want to apply is in a VAR file, click on Decals/torso (or whichever body part you're applying the decal to) in the Skin Textures tab and navigate to it from there.

If you want quick access to commonly used decals, (or if you create your own) extract them and put them in a folder that makes sense...Custom/Atom/Person/Textures is usual. You can create a subfolder called 'decals' or whatever in that folder too. (Personally I use Custom/Images/Decals because some of my decals textures can be used on clothing, skin or walls etc., so it makes sense to me to have a separate folder, and I just start navigating there from 'Root'.)

This makes using Chokaphi's Decal Maker a bit quicker too.

Then navigate to that folder the same way as for VAR files.

Hey. It's pretty stupid question probably, but maybe someone knows if there is a changing room asset similar to the ones commonly used in DAZ games? Maybe even a whole clothing store? I tried but couldn't find anything other than a scene.

Use keys to upgrade from free, for 1.22 it's C91927
But can you allow VAM to automatically access to the hub using one of those keys? or the hub will detect it is a "reused" key and "block" your program? Not sure if I am explaining my self properly

Just a quick general advice: it's usually a bad idea as a new VaM user to download tons of *.var files to begin with, if you're not yet familiar with how VaM works. You'll get frustrated, as many things probably won't work, because you don't know how to do stuff.

To any new user I'd say: start slow. Just use VaM and its integrated scenes/characters/clothes to make yourself familiar with how things work. Once you get the hang of it, use the integrated VaM Hub browser to download a single (!) scene that appeals to you and doesn't have any external/paid dependencies. Again, see how things work with downloaded scenes/assets, and work your way up from there.

Also: there's a ton of good tutorials about VaM on YT, so check some of those and try to follow them.

You can use asset from a scene on any other scene - just select it inside VAR in the CUA interface. Or use this list:




Thanks, but I should probably rephrase. The fitting room. Why I'm so stuck on it is because a couple years ago, I saw one in a game made in VAM. I'm assuming there's no such asset available, and I have to transfer it from DAZ myself?

I guess you mean that you manually search for assets and download them using your normal browser outside of the program, right? I was wondering if it were any possibility to automatically download VAR/scene assets "in-game"

No i mean i download things within the ingame hub but without signing in. I only sign in when i want to manually download from hub outside the game, i don't know why i just don't feel secure to sign in within the ingame hub since the game is pirated but you can download stuff without signing in anyways. Benifit of signing is that you will be notified about new update on things that you downloaded while signed in and that i check on normal browser outside the vam.
