1.10 is here! Some changes have been made to all backer levels with this release! 
  • Teaser backers now have the ability to load scenes!
  • Entertainer backers now have the ability to save scenes!
  • Creators have the highest level of editing tools available, having exclusive access to Edit mode and ability to add new atoms
  • All backers now have the ability to import custom textures on the female character. In addition an obj/mtl export feature is included to allow exporting a static mesh to load into external 3d programs to help with texture painting.

We hope these changes will boost the number of people creating and using community content. Some amazing work is posted over on VAMScenes on reddit. Since all backer levels now have the ability to load custom scenes, we will likely stop including built-in scenes in future releases unless we magically find some free time to make some! Instead we are focusing more on features that enable even more community content and customization. 

Discord:

  • We are much more actively communicating on Discord than on Patreon, so if you want to follow what is happening between releases, please join in!
  • If you connected Patreon to Discord (in your account settings area), you have already been auto-joined to the Discord server and you will get a rank based on your backer level.

Download links:

1.10 is now distributed through an installer/updater system using a global CDN, but we have included a traditional zip link as well in case there is trouble with the installer/updater.

(Option 1 - recommended) Installer/Updater:

  • Download the installer and run it. It will pop up some instructions. You can point it to an existing install of VaM to save download time, or point it to a new directory if you want a clean install, but this will take more download time. 
  • Link: Installer 

(Option 2) Direct download zip:

Release Highlights:

  • Feature: Import of custom female skin textures
  • Feature: Import of custom female and male morphs
  • Feature: Added support for up to 7 Vive Trackers
  • Feature: Grid and snap feature
  • Feature: Threaded texture loader for file browser - reduces/removes stuttering when browsing
  • Content: New femalecustom skin. Release also includes the source textures in Textures/ folder. This set was exclusively commissioned from a DAZ artist for VaM and users are free to distribute and modify as needed to make new custom textures.
  • Tweak: Many control handle (desktop) enhancements (see Trello for details)
  • Tweak: Improved obj exporter to include mtl file and work better with Photoshop 3d painting features. Can use textures mentioned above or make your own from scratch!
  • Tweak: Person parent atom adjustment to lessen soft body distortions
  • Tweak: obj exporter on Person available in play mode UI and all backers to assist with texture painting in external 3d applications (Photoshop, Blender, etc.)
  • 16 Bug fixes (see Trello for details)

BEST VR PORN EVER! You rock man!

Well, we're in uncharted territory now.

Of course the DAZ Texture release is the week I am super busy, I'm in a glass case of emotion!

seems the dildos are ganked. Like the tip is inverted. Both in scene and when creating a new atom. just updated and rebooted a couple of times to be sure.

meshedvr

Yeah - I already fixed with a quick 1.10.0.6 patch. If you run the updater again you will get the fix.

Wow. That was fast Thanks!

Will downloading to the 1.9 destination overwrite saves and files?

Is there any way of using DUF files as well as DSF? I'm playing around with some DAZ content which would be really cool to incorporate - Also, where should morphs etc. appear in the menu?

meshedvr

Only morph dsf files work currently. Place in Import/morphs/female somewhere. They should appear in the morphs tabs based on category and name.

Nice work! Will import of custom male textures also be planned?

Virtamouse

So awesome. Thanks for the shout out to VAMscenes on reddit. So much fun making scenes. I cant wait to learn all this daz stuff. Who would have thought an adult vr game would make me learn new skills. Thanks meshed. I have been following from the start and you will always have my support.

..i am the only one with tons of bugs with movement? 1.I was trying to move a person in a scene i made and loaded and the control points where moving forward but not the person (had to reset pose..NO way i am gonna do that to all my scenes) 2.I moved an animation pattern that was already there and it seems its move the animation steps icons only had to find the clickable" points way behind the real position... 3.IMO the new "Move" menu for props....is awfully terrible,Why would i want a different simple menu than the one in "Person moving"

meshedvr

Yes next month I'll add male texture import but I have not been able to commission a male texture set like I was able to for female.

Awesone and cool I did not know about the VAMScenes site :D

DJ

You know, i bet you're not alone. There are 3 times as many patrons than there are subscribers to the VAMscenes subreddit. Especially now that all patrons can load scenes, perhaps it would be a good idea to send an email to all patrons pointing out that it exists.

Excellent work MeshedVR. I'm just in the middle of installing, and have looked in the textures folder now it has appeared. I'm assuming some file name conventions and just wanted to be sure. D = Diffuse G = Gloss N = Normals S = Specular Is that correct ? I also have a question about the export of an OBJ / MTL file and it's legal ownership. Is it permitted for me to do an export and to bundle that mesh and the textures together to make that available to all ? And... once again.... thank you

Grrr. Installer failed twice. "Patch failed!". Retrying involves doing the entire download again :(. I'm not going to keep doing that on my slow internet connection. First attempt, log error: [P.A.T.C.H. - 1/08/2018 2:55:58 PM] Hash checking failed! Try to reopen the launcher! Archive: 1.9.0.3_1.10.0.3.archive Second attempt, log error: [P.A.T.C.H. - 1/08/2018 4:10:26 PM] Something goes wrong, restored previous version! Try to reopen the launcher! Back to ZIP I go. Bugger. MEGA gets to 4Gb and then tells me I have to pay to continue. Couldn't it tell me that BEFORE I begin the download (for the third time)?! :(

My updater makes no attempt to update 1.9

meshedvr

Try pointing installer to new directory to do a clean install. It seems the patcher sometimes has issues. I'll try to work on improving it but I'm using a 3rd party tool here.

meshedvr

Did you download the new installer linked in this post? The old updater will not update 1.9 to 1.10

Anonymous

"Feature: Added support for up to 7 Vive Trackers". YOU. ARE. THE. MAN. You are an incredibly responsive developer and are much deserving of the support you're getting. Can't wait to see how the animations turn out with this.

meshedvr

You have the naming convention correct, yes. It is probably ok to distribute the OBJ/MTL. I included that feature as method to help with texture painting. You could technically get the same .obj out of DAZ Studio free version + 3rd party graft mesh. The textures I included in Textures/ are rights free and you are free to distribute.

Trend Micro is flagging cdn.virtamate.com as "Sites used by malicious programs, including sites used to host upgrades or store stolen information." The only way around it on my Asus router is to disable the "Home Protection" entirely. I'm not sure how you as the site owner can get yourself removed from their database :-/

meshedvr

I'm using a fairly popular CDN. If I go to Trend Micro site and check cdn.virtamate.com it just says it is new and not yet classified.

Just a minor issue: I installed the updater in a new directory for a full installation. Instead of "Downloading file ..." it showed the message "Cleaning" at some point and didn't progress anymore. I had to close the updater and run it again. It continued where it got stuck before and the installation succeeded. Besides that I have to finish posting as I'm eager to see the new features ... Keep it up!

Just tried it and it's pretty safe to say that with custom content, Virt-A-Mate has secured its place with being the future of adult entertainment. I tried the custom morphs with the Genesis 2 Gargoyles and was thrilled to find that they worked correctly.

Hit return which accidentally cut the rest of my comment off. I've noticed a couple of bugs (Anyway I can submit these to the trello board for easier viewing?) 1) When assigning the custom texture on the limbs of a male character, the fingernail texture remains unchanged. This doesn't affect the female character 2) On some more extreme "full body morphs", a seam sometimes appears around the jawline/side of the body. (Guessing this is something to do with the Tesselation?) 3) With full body morphs like the Minotaur/Reptilian, there's some pretty weird distortions on the mesh notably when the hands make a fist. 4) Again with the Full Body Morph, some of them (notably Reptilian/Minotaur) do some special things within Daz Studio regarding the UV Maps. Any textures that are applied pre/post morph are heavily misaligned. 5) When the reptilian headmorph is applied, a visual glitch occurs which causes the eyes to be heavily misaligned with the eye sockets. Thanks again for this major release and really hope to eventually have a way of having the Succubus wings/tails/reptilian legs at somepoint in the future.

Nice Work

Apologies for the spam (can't edit posts here). Number 3 was caused by me accidentally using the "Projection" morph versions of the morphs. I found the normal versions and they seem to work fine. Same thing with number 5.

Heya Meshed, thanks for the update. I tried to play with the texture import. But when i import even the default provided texture i see white and black borders. Also when i try to clear a partial texture, sometimes it goes to black but not always. Sometimes it looks like the loaded texture is overloading the previous or something.

Anonymous

That is, on the default loaded female without any adjustments. And i try to load the whole directory at once

Fantastic work on the installer/updater, works like a charm - keep up the great work! <3

So what can the entertrainer save? Can it exchange one model for another and save? or what kind of changes?

meshedvr

You can save any changes you are able to make with the entertainer level controls. So you could modify an existing scene to your liking and save it.

CDN works great with the installer. Much better than mega or wetransfer

"Since all backer levels now have the ability to load custom scenes, we will likely stop including built-in scenes in future releases unless we magically find some free time to make some!" Boo! just, boo. I totally get your time is limited, but imo the main problem with the game is content, so this doesnt look like a bright future to me, i would like to suggest you make some kind of addon cdn, so we can at least share & download content made by others without leaving vam.

Jet Jaguar I've been a "creator" since the start, but haven't actually contributed anything yet. What should lower-levels expect from creators? What can I do with my access to benefit the community?

More CONTENT and some basic AI please! I feel it's all going a bit too techie. I get that people can now import their own stuff, so that should add to the content somewhat, but I suspect that only a small percentage of users have the time and skills to do that, and I for one are not one of them! AI would add unpredictability and near infinite variety. User-created content takes ages to create and the novelty wears off quickly. Perhaps you could add a random look generator too? Just my two cents.

eclypse

How come whenever I select the new custom skin and I make any change to the person after l, I cant save the change? The game just gets stuck before the window comes up to save the look and after a min windows pops up with a window that says the game has become unresponsive, do you want to close it or wait. If I wait it will never fix itself and I'm forced to forcefully close the game.

WTF is going on. The installer for 1.10 will not finish. Crashes every time. This is trying to download into fresh clean folder. Seeing all sorts of "file not found" server errors before it crashes. Will just have to try the MEGA download...

meshedvr

I just ran a clean install and it works for me. I have seen that others have had trouble and I'm going to crack open the installer code to try to make it work better going forward. Another option you can try is run VaM_Updater.exe, click the Options button, and click Force Repair. This method seems to fix issues for some people.

geo_gan

I downloaded MEGA and extracted it. Then I ran the updater that was inside this. The updater also crashed multiple times while doing the updates from one version to the next. Eventually after a couple of retries it got to the last 0.9 version and said it was finished. No idea what problems was causing crashes. Is there log I could locate to find out?

Yeah I had to copy my saves folder, delete VAM, re-download VAM, install, update, etc, then put my saves back in and now it works lol kinda sucks it didn't update my game properly from the get go.
