1.15 Update Preview
Added 2019-01-28 16:28:36 +0000 UTC1.15 release is all about improvements to physics simulations and performance. Everything mentioned here is already completed, and I'm very happy with the end results. The video showcases most of what has been done.
I'm going to take about another week to finish up 1.15 release (a few notes at end on what is left), but I wanted to give an update of some of what is in store.
Improved soft-body physics
- Improved fast movement reaction
- Fixed jitter/flashing
- Max soft-body movement range param added to allow more range of movement
- Added fine-control of 4 breast zones with spring and damper multiplier params. Allows more variety, increased realism, and ripple control.
Greatly improved cloth physics
- New "fiber" joints. Much less stretch. Better shape hold, which helps with thin strips and folds. Faster than previous elasticity joints: 2 iterations give better results than 5 iterations of old sim. All sim clothing comes with new defaults due to changes.
- Improved fast movement reaction. Less clip through of skin.
- Fixed physics vibration and instability
Greatly improved hair physics
- Elasticity system completely redone. Now have more control over root to tip rigidity with 4 new parameters.
- New "cling" system added with adjustable parameter. This helps hold the style without locking hair in place to head as the previous elasticity system did.
- Added new spread limit with adjustable param which helps control clipping of hair through body.
- Optimizations. Simulation part of sim hair is much faster. Rendering is still the bottleneck (further work on that mentioned below)
- New hair benchmarks added to isolate simulation and rendering to help with further optimization in future. Existing hair benchmark is a muddled mix
- Fixed physics vibration and instability
Performance improvements
- Main CPU-bottleneck reduced. >10% increase in performance on worst benchmark "CPU High Physics". Other benchmarks show even greater increase.
- Increased parallelism/threading for character tasks. Results in less thread-wait time in some cases
Plans for this week to finish the release
- Try to further improve sim hair render performance as that is biggest reason for sim hair running slowly at this point. Physics simulation is now very fast.
- Bug fixes. I'll revisit the bug reports out there.
- Add more sim clothing.

whens fluid going to be coming into the picture?

2019-03-04 21:11:12 +0000 UTCCool! In v 1.15 physics much better! I`m glad to see it!

2019-02-06 16:55:37 +0000 UTCInfo from Discord: He was hoping to release today, but discovered he'd done something to undo a lot of the performance improvements he'd implemented. He's working on it, but release may be pushed to tomorrow.

2019-02-05 09:21:49 +0000 UTCI wonder if these updates will make the exploding character model bug harder to come by
2019-02-03 21:13:42 +0000 UTC어떤 소리 말씀하시는 건지?
2019-02-03 14:17:49 +0000 UTCI mentioned in a post if something like adding multiple keyboard binding, hotkeys for morph values like a key binding for left hand grasp 0 value and another key for 1 value, like a trigger button for different morphs. Some people still are in non VR phase and use desktop mode. Awesome stuff btw!! Cant wait for the release.
2019-02-03 01:38:47 +0000 UTCcan't wait.

2019-02-02 06:05:04 +0000 UTCA release before the weekend would be amazing 🙄

2019-02-01 16:30:27 +0000 UTCDo you think support for accessories such as necklaces/earrings will come along anytime soon?
2019-02-01 06:55:27 +0000 UTCMeshed mentioned on Discord that one of the sim clothing items in this next update is a pair of panties.

2019-01-31 21:05:34 +0000 UTCI love the cloth physics. I had never expected any VR game to have something like that. Would it be possible to cloth-physics panties? And would it be possible to add some kind of "grab points" to certain points on clothes to make it easier to grab and drag them off her? Thats highest on my wish list for VaM.
2019-01-31 19:46:57 +0000 UTCThese are the types of quality improvements that make the experience so much better even though they don't stand out. Take more of my money :D
2019-01-31 03:07:27 +0000 UTCIn the post -> "I'm going to take about another week to finish up 1.15 release". I'm busting ass, but I'm going to need that whole week. That puts it at early February.

2019-01-31 02:54:47 +0000 UTCAre we getting this in January? Looks great.

2019-01-31 02:26:41 +0000 UTCThanks for putting the video together. I often don't understand the impact of announced enhancements when they're described in words, but this video was brilliant at showing the improvements you've made. Excellent video & excellent enhancements. Thanks

2019-01-30 23:02:48 +0000 UTCjust wow i really like the breast physics looks more realistic now i was also hoping on a improvement for the breast grafity because when the model lays on her back the breasts dont fall like they shoudend but still im amased of your work creator thank you
2019-01-30 13:40:29 +0000 UTCAnother nice update,Thank you Meshed for all that nice work.Just a question,a change of pose via trigger is it planned? It would be nice, and better than the "merge scene", without loading ^^ Thank you in advance ;)

2019-01-30 06:33:53 +0000 UTC소리가 안나는이유가?
2019-01-30 06:33:28 +0000 UTCI've been dabbling in VR with some of my own models and scenes, and I know how tricky this stuff can be. Excellent work!

2019-01-30 06:21:48 +0000 UTC”ponytail“ This hairstyle, now because the rear pony tail is too sparse to become ugly, can increase the density, increase 1-2 times or more, and preferably customize the length and density. This is a very good hairstyle. I personally think it is best for all Asian styles, and the current settings are wasted.
2019-01-30 04:05:57 +0000 UTCDoes the soft body physics update/ripple effect apply to the glutes as well?

2019-01-30 01:51:51 +0000 UTCI look forward to re-running the benchmark tests for my CPU bound machine and comparing to previous results I posted on the VAM group.

2019-01-29 21:54:15 +0000 UTCWow. I mean wow... what an improvement!!! Cant wait to see it for myself.
2019-01-29 21:40:29 +0000 UTCHair is better than hairworks man. Awesome.

2019-01-29 03:26:23 +0000 UTCYou are an amazing creator! Thank you for your hard work!
2019-01-29 02:40:26 +0000 UTCthat would be the next step to greatness

2019-01-28 22:22:54 +0000 UTCYour work is amazing, is it possible to implement a way to remove clothing by pulling?
Stoic Rasta
2019-01-28 22:08:13 +0000 UTCYou can still do mop head by setting rigidity and cling params all to 0!

2019-01-28 22:03:25 +0000 UTCComing Soon™ - Like the video format Meshed, looking forward to the update :)
2019-01-28 20:55:26 +0000 UTCGreat job man!

2019-01-28 20:26:34 +0000 UTCI dunno man, I like that mop-head. I've always wanted to fuck cousin It.
2019-01-28 20:08:47 +0000 UTCDisagree. The price is already what you pay for a full fledged indie game (concept, art, sfx,music, coding) or a netflix sub. Ofc he can create a new tier with higher price but w/o touching the others...
2019-01-28 20:07:09 +0000 UTC:D Thanks!
