Short 1.15 Release Update Info

I ran into a performance issue during final testing today that I think I have mostly solved, but this put me another day behind. What I have left for tomorrow is to add a few more sim clothing items. I already have a few completed. There will be some existing items with Sim option added and I'll be adding new items as well. 

Since the last update message I also made a few more improvements to hair simulation and coloring system that allow for even more control and ease of getting g...

1.15 Update Preview

1.15 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...

Happy New Year! A look at 2019 plans...

I'm back from a very nice and greatly needed holiday and wanted to post my thoughts on what I hope to accomplish with VaM in 2019. But first, let me thank each of you for an amazing 2018! I am honored and amazed by the amount of support on this project and also the incredible community working on plugins, scenes, looks, textures, morphs, etc. to make VaM even better! Thank you!

I expect sometime this year I will split VaM into 2 release streams. VaM and VaM2. The reason for this is the ...

Ho Ho Ho! Like my new dress? 1.14 Released

• Morph Compiler and other morph packaging and re-use improvements.

• A few bug fixes

1.14 Release Update

Hi All-

I have been quiet lately because I had to put a tremendous amount of effort into the clothing sim system and could not afford time for much else. That is all I have worked on this last month. I have greatly enhanced the system I started out with. I started with an abandoned system closely related to the hair sim system. After tons of work, I now have a system that works in VaM and is better than the original clothing and hair sim system in nearly every regard. This is pretty typ...

1.13.0.2 Patch Release

I have spent some time improving the installer and patcher program, so this release utilizes that. If the patch process fails in any way, it falls back and attempts an auto-repair option. I have also switched to a different CDN to distribute the software which seems to have a bit better performance and reliability. This patch will be a further test of that to see if that is true worldwide or not. Please let me know if you have trouble with patching process. I have also added better debugging to ...

1.13 Released! Lots of new content!

Highlights:

• Lots of new Person atom content: 5 new female skins, 1 new male skin, 2 new female clothing sets, 1 new male clothing set, a few new morphs
• Several new furniture and furniture prop atoms
• Hair Sim V2 performance and lighting improvements, including fixes for 7 styles that were receiving improper lighting
• Many Plugin system tweaks and bug fixes
• FaceGen helpers: Auto genital texture creation to aid with FaceGen and male base U...

1.13 Release Update

I plan to release 1.13 tomorrow, November 21st. Today is "Fix as many bugs as possible before release" day. I have not completed the morph compiler, and depending on the bug fixing efforts, morph compiler may not make it out until 1.14. I do not want to delay release out past tomorrow.

This picture also shows off new male skin and outfit that is in 1.13. The new male skin has several facial and body hair texture options.

She's Coming. 1.13 Release Update

I need somewhere between 3-7 days to finish up this release. Completed so far is:

• HairSimV2 Optimization (20-25% performance increase)
• Some new Person content including new alphakini outfit and new female skin texture set shown here 
• New furniture and prop atoms
• Genital diffuse auto-texture creator to assist with 3rd-party texture support and FaceGen tool that does not include or create these textures
• Animatable clothing state, skin selection, and...

1.13 and longer-term plans

1.13 will likely arrive mid-month as 1.12 did. I really need at least 30 days between releases or not much gets done. I try my best to stick to monthly release intervals as I believe that it is important to match the Patreon pledge model. But this is not always possible depending on what is included in each release as some things take longer than a 30-day release window would allow. Thanks for your understanding and support!

 1.13 planned highlights:

• Hair Sim V2 performance op...

1.12 Released! New UI and Plugin System

1.12 is a very technical release with a lot of core framework changes, so the impact of many of the items listed here might not be immediately obvious. The most obvious outward change is the UI overhaul. Many of the other changes won’t be apparent until modders and advanced creators get some time with them. Now that the core is in much better shape, I plan to spend more time getting back to content oriented features like hair sim, clothing sim, and other primary focus on the Person atom.

1.12 Release Update

I'm planning to release 1.12 tomorrow, October 12th. I was going to release today and hold off on finishing hair and clothing UI overhaul until a 1.12.X.X patch or 1.13, but I found an issue where many of the popups are no longer working due to some changes I made to the materials parameter system. As such, I have to bite off this work now in order for these to be functional again. The good news is everything will be on the new UI standard shown above after this. As a consolation to this extra d...
