Some plans about VAM 2

A few days ago, the first Beta version of VAM 2 was released, which is an exciting news. I downloaded it for the first time and experienced it.

This also means that I need to make some plans and preparations for this.

As far as the current roadmap of VAM 2 is concerned, it is necessary to support the development of plug-ins in version 1.2. It may take some time, during which I will do some study and preparation for the new framework and new technology of VAM2.

Once VAM2 is r...

Some points for attention in using SkelonAnimationPlayer

Based on some feedback from supporters, let me answer these common questions.

1. Do I have to use the T-Pose file I provided?

A: Not necessarily. In fact, as long as your fbx works normally as a humanoid bone in unity, you can directly use the bones that come with your fbx.

2. According to the operation of the video, I exported the CUA. But I can't load the action in the plug-in? 2025-04-03 09:27:45 +0000 UTC View Post
