1.18.1.6 Released
Added 2019-11-23 17:46:14 +0000 UTC1.18.1.5 introduced a couple of bugs with morphs. 1.18.1.6 fixes these and another minor bug with creating custom hair and trying to save without creating style joints first. Use the VaM_Updater.exe to get the update (see https://www.patreon.com/meshedvr/overview Download section if you are new to VaM and don't have the updater)
I'll be moving on to work on 1.18.2 next week. 1.18.2 will bring even more capabilities to custom hair, like custom scalps, body/face hair in any area, and rigidity painting to help with more complex styles.
Release notes:
Bug Fixes:
- Fixed issue where morphs broke after scene being open for more than 10 minutes
- Fixed reset issue with morphs that could be controlled by another morph
- Fixed issue where not generating style joints for custom hair would result in error on save

2019-12-19 13:17:40 +0000 UTCI got this up and running but my controllers/hands don't show up in vr. Are Index knuckles not supported?

2019-12-18 14:39:19 +0000 UTChmm .. I can't find the updater, is that an easter egg hiding game?:-)
2019-12-17 22:04:34 +0000 UTCI did install as admin but not in a system directory.

2019-12-16 13:50:54 +0000 UTCI was having a similar problem trying to install the updater. I was finally told that you can’t install it as an administrator and can’t install it from the download Directory. When you install as an administrator, it tries to write in the programs directory which is protected. The VAM program is designed to not write in that directory because they want to keep it private and not let anybody else know that you have it on your PC. So to install it, you have to create a folder under the root C Drive and then move the compressed file to that folder. Then you extract to that same VAM folder. That’s why if you ever need to get rid of it, youwouldn’t go into settings- applications to try to use the Windows UnInstaller because it won’t show up there. You would just delete the VAM folder and everything is entirely cleaned off your drive.

2019-12-15 22:42:06 +0000 UTCFound a VERY convoluted way to make it work (Kind off) by pure chance :- Found an old 1.11 full version Torrent and installed that. Tried the updater from that it flashed up a window briefly with an error and closed. Then tried the new updater again and it worked but I got a file download error near the end and now it won;t connect to the server. EDIT FINALLY (and painfully) managed it but had to run the updater about 20 times.

2019-12-15 16:57:57 +0000 UTCEventually found a link to Vam_Updater.zip hidden away in one of the posts, I've extracted it and run it but nothing happens (I've tried run as administrator) no windows pop up, nothing.

2019-12-15 16:23:42 +0000 UTCWhere is the ~Download section. I cant see it, Im a backer and cant download the non updater..
2019-12-15 09:02:23 +0000 UTCFor me, this version seems to resets some morph values to 0 during gameplay. The morph slider goes to 0 by itself. For example, eyes depth morph just did it while i was looking the person. This is not fun, when saving the look without noticing it has some morphs resetted. I don't think that any of the plugins i'm using does animate the eyes depth morph. I have not noticed this kind of behaviour before. EDIT: The cause seems to be some other custom morph.

2019-12-14 22:43:43 +0000 UTCHey, quite happy with VAM so far! Do you have any suggestions of workflow for creating custom specular/normal/gloss maps for textures imported from Daz?

2019-12-14 15:32:40 +0000 UTCJust became a backer for this earlier this morning. Lots of good stuff available.

2019-12-13 15:21:28 +0000 UTCits the thumbstick navigation i think. i have the same problem. mine is spinning as well as going up
2019-12-13 13:47:13 +0000 UTCProblem. Can you include an option under navigation to disable the thumbstick navigation. I use a HP reverb and it creates a problem. basically the scene is slowly sinking and rotating continuously. I realised that is the thumbstick fault on hp controllers. (didnt have the problem on 1.17)
2019-12-13 13:45:40 +0000 UTCQuick question: Importing custom scalps doesn't work yet, right? I can select it from the scalp list, but nothing happens... Edit: I just noticed the note saying "Coming in 1.18.2", okay.

2019-12-13 10:09:05 +0000 UTCI got a problem with the in-game web-browser, it loads most things fine, but it won't play videos on youporn, pornhub, redtube, or any other site. It just sits there "loading" indefinitely.

2019-12-12 05:55:24 +0000 UTCare you running VaM.exe or VaM (OpenVR).bat ? The second one is for SteamVR. I have rift + touch and it works fine. Only thing I did differently was I installed 1.17 first. Are you clicking ready with the triggers or by pushing the A/X buttons? that threw me off at first.
Jim Totaro
2019-12-10 16:10:14 +0000 UTCThanks, got it to install. When I open it, it shows my oculus touch controllers and lets me put in the key. But after it loads and says ready, it doesn't accept any more input from the controllers. So when I click on "Ready' nothing happen. Any suggestions? thx

2019-12-09 05:12:10 +0000 UTCFor a first time installation, put the updater in an empty directory and run it.

2019-12-08 19:56:58 +0000 UTCSame thing here happened in VR. I thought it was the camera tracking on my WMR machine. It has a camera that keeps track of headset and controller positions
2019-12-07 07:12:02 +0000 UTChello this looks promising but i am new and i have run in to a problem my height keeps going up and i dont know how to fix it (yes some curse words where exhanged..)

2019-12-05 17:16:11 +0000 UTCThis is amazing, thanks Meshed! Can't access trello at the moment so just wanted to ask if boobs will get a similar degree of fine-grained upgrades as I still can't quite get past the uncanny valley level no matter much I tinker with physics.

2019-12-03 16:55:24 +0000 UTCThanks for the hard work. And.. Could you change your https://directory.vamresources.com/?b=vam site to only allow/show free content? It's getting worse and worse day by day to actually find stuff to dlownload.

2019-12-02 05:28:09 +0000 UTCif you just joined like me and downloading for the first time, you need to download the updated vam_updater or you won't be able to update past 1.17

2019-11-24 16:09:30 +0000 UTCWMR ???
seb37
2019-11-24 15:07:46 +0000 UTCThere are several options. Direct Mirror To Desktop with headset view is in User Preferences VR 1 tab near the top. You can also hit M key on keyboard and get an independent desktop camera and view. Lastly you can use the WindowCamera atom and enable the camera by clicking Camera On toggle. This view is controlled by where the WindowCamera atom is positioned and rotated.

2019-11-24 14:30:51 +0000 UTCIf you are using WMR, users have reported you must start SteamVR before launching VaM or the controllers and pointers will not show up. If you are not using WMR, I suggest a restart of your computer. VaM should work with latest official or beta versions of SteamVR
Meshed VR
2019-11-24 14:27:04 +0000 UTCThanks How do you mirror to desktop? There used to be an option in user preferences.
