Patreon Shift

If you haven't already noticed, I am changing the Patreon name from "Standable" to "I3Llamas" which is what I generally go by online. This change will allow me to focus on other projects as well as Standable without everything being branded as "Standable".

Don't worry! Your awesome support is still going towards Standable's development, but now future projects as well!

I am most active in the Standable discord, but I hope to be bringing more activity here soon too!

BETA back on track

Today I am wrapping up preparing for the Patreon beta.

I will make a post here when it is live, but I plan on waiting a few days before I mention it in the Discord server as I’m sure it will take a bit to get things ironed out and I don’t need an influx of Patreon members while I figure that out.

See you then!

Slight delay for Beta

I just got my PC working again yesterday (or at least I think 🤞) but since then I found some major issues that will take a couple days to patch. After that I still need to finish getting the beta tutorials quickly made.

I am hoping to get it out as soon as possible. I am thinking about a week (maybe sooner) before I can release it for you guys.

I want to make sure I can provide the best possible product I can. I’ll keep you all updated 👍

Issues

Perfect. Just perfect timing.

I was planning on finalizing the v2.0 beta the next couple days, but my computer seems to disagree.

I can barely get 10 minutes without VRChat crashing, SteamVR crashing, the entire PC bluescreening, or all of the above.

But before that, weird stuff keeps happening. VRChat wanting me to log in multiple times, Steam logging me out, SteamVR’s UI totally breaking, weird black boxes, openvrpaths.txt completely clearing itself, all followed by a bl...

v2.0 BETA news!

Happy Valentine’s Day everyone!

While I don’t have a special someone this year, I do have a special announcement!

After a few bug fixes I will be making the Standable v2.0 BETA accessible to my Patreon supporters! (Gold and Diamond tiers)

I hope to have it ready for testing in the next couple of days. I’ll make sure to post here once it is, and give some more info on how it will work.

Thank you all for your patience and support. See you soon!

New Standable Tracker Icons

What do you think?

AT-ST Mode

ROLLING

Hey, it’s been a while… I’ve got to get better at posting progress 😅

ANYWAY! I made some huge progress this week with the fully estimated hips/pelvis tracker.

I did a full rewrite of the logic, and now not only does it no longer weirdly follow your hands, it also allows you to roll around!

As you can see at the end of the video, I am VERY happy to have this done and working as well as it does.

(Keep in mind the legs are tracked by actual FBT trackers in the vi...

Spine bend reference

Computer: out of commission (progress update)

A bunch of progress has been made the past few weeks. Soon a lot more stuff to share.

In other news: my computer decided to bluescreen 5 times today and eventually it just stopped booting windows. After some diagnosing, it seems my m.2 is completely dead.

Luckily I had my Standable v2.0 files backed up right before. So once I get a fresh SSD installed and reinstall all my development software, I should be right back to work.

I feel like I’m nearing a v2.0 beta. For the bet...

Standable Achievements

If Standable were to have Steam Achievements, what would they be?

Whoops

Snapped my top strap plastic thingy… 🤦‍♂️

Knees!

Traditional IK knees VS Standable Knees.

Both use 6 point tracking (3-point + hips and feet), but Standable adds two more virtual trackers for the knees.

New UI + Logo

Just a quick post. Got to get back to work 🫡

An update on how things are going (video)

Life's not been going the way I expected and progress is slow, but things are still moving. 

Possible v2.0 beta soon*

I’ve been taking a couple days to rest after getting a possible concussion during a nasty Onewheel accident.

Despite that, development has been going well. The v2.0 framework is mostly ready for some beta testers. I’ve got to translate the v1.1 FBE algorithm to the new framework, but once that is done I’ll get a beta test going while I update the algorithm.

I’ll make a more detailed roadmap and explanation once I get back to work after my down time.

New Attempt

Better? Worse? Hospital?

New logo WIP

Very happy with the design, but may not be final.

What do you think? What would you change/do?

Permutations

Now that I have most of the framework of the new SteamVR plugin working I now can finally get to work on the FBE algorithms.

To support any combination of full body trackers, the v2.0 FBE algorithm has to have systems in place that are modular and can update on the fly.

In the attached image I wrote out each of the combinations I hope to support.

• Dark grey represents the hmd and controllers (a given)
• Blue represents 6 DOF trackers (tundra, Vive pucks, etc)

WIP 🤫

Acquired Kinect

Still waiting for the adapter.

Next up! SlimeVR!

Tracking quality is generally fine, but with the power of STANDABLE we can make it better!

💀🩻🦴🦴👟

Found and fixed the cause for many issues

Nice

I’m back in town, but…

Recently returned to the VR cave, but I’ve got some stuff to setup/do before I can get back to work.

While I was away I couldn’t get much done as I didn’t have access to my PC nor VR, BUT I do believe I have figured out an automatic height calibration solution! More info in the coming days 👍

Family emergency / out of town

I will be out of town due to an unexpected family emergency. This means I won’t have full access to my computer so development will slow until I return.

While I can access my computer remotely, I won’t be able to properly test anything without my full setup. I’ll do as much as I can remotely though.

I don’t know how long we will be out of town, but I don’t expect longer than two weeks.

I was hoping to finally build some momentum with development after I graduated, ...

Boring backend + other stuff

My patreon posts have been quite sparse and boring, but that is mainly because I’m working on the important frameworks that will allow for mixing base station tracking & standable.

I just got a successful function hook to override any FBT tracker and set it to what I want. Again, boring. BUT important!

Once I get the backend/framework competed, posts will be much more interesting and engaging.

I also plan on getting 2.0 beta versions out for Patreon members to test as ...

A point of reference

Just returned from a family trip and came home to some new Tundra Trackers!

These will allow me to test the mixed tracking system and have a reference to what I’m trying to replicate with FBE (instead of pure guesswork)

I am still working on the underlying framework of v2.0 but once that is all in place then I can start showing off the new features I’m cooking up!

Crash fixed 👍

Remaking base/framework’s

To allow for many of the new features I’ve got to rebuild the underlying framework of the SteamVR driver.

Got most of the base finished but ran into an unexpected crash when trying to add the virtual trackers.

Hopefully I can get it fixed tomorrow. I need sleep 😴
