About Morphs... (Patreon)

Since you are here, you probably already know a good deal about working with morphs in VAM.  I would just like to make a few notes which are often overlooked:

All of my models are released as VAC files for VAM.  When you load a VAC file in VAM, it automatically unpacks and creates a folder on your pc that contains all of the assets for that particular model. A VAC is essentially an archive, like a zip. 

Each of my models come with their own custom morphs, which are located in the morphs tab under "AshAuryn".  My expression morphs are under "Pose Controls/Head/Expressions/AshAuryn".  These morphs will also be located inside the folder that the VAC file created when you first opened it. 

If you would like to permanently add these morphs to your copy of VAM, you will need to copy them to your Import/Morphs/Female folder on your pc.  This is not necessary to load my models, but it is necessary if you decide to delete the vacs and their folders later but would still like to be able to use the morphs on other looks that you create.  Note: please do not re-distribute my patreon-only morphs without permission.

Keep in mind that custom morphs are different than looks that use a variety of morphs.  With a custom morph, there are usually only one or two sliders, and regardless of what you do with your morphs folder they should still work.  Looks that rely on the standard morphs or use a variety of random morphs will not only clutter your morphs tab, but they won't load properly if you choose to re-organize your morphs folder. 

This is why I release my looks as vac files.  If you save a look as a json, then only you may be able to see that look correctly, because only you may have your morphs folder organized in your particular way with your particular morphs.  Saving as a package, or using a vac, saves the morphs in their own folder so that the look will always load correctly.
