First, thank you so much to those who decide to support me. XOXO.
To everyone else, enjoy all the public posts!
While great care has been given to the packages, anybody can make a mistake. Please tell me if you encounter any issue.
How to install

The resources are sorted by source & author for easier crediting. Please explore them to expand your presets with limitless possibilities

Origins of this Patreon
I have been play-playing with 3D software for a little while. I played MMD in the past and did a little bit of Daz. I ventured into TheKlub17 for about a year and took a break when my favorite build went out of support. Finally, joined the VaM bandwagon. I am thrilled to see all the creativity and general mindset of our growing community.
Initially, I was just looking for some freebie swimsuits for my models. Along the way, I discovered awesome Daz creators and a trove of long forgotten and amazing apparels from the Poser era. I started converting clothing for my own use then decided, I should share with the rest of you, so you'll find all my conversions with quality in this place.
Freebies oftentimes come with a single texture, no normal map, etc. Also, old Poser creations may come with low-res textures that do not render well in VaM. I could mass-convert and be done with it but I prefer to take the time to test and improve the overall look & feel in VaM. Whenever possible, the apparels published here are simmed. Behind any upload, there is often many hours of personal time. I trust you'll be appreciative and supportive.
The tiers and what you'll find there
- Public posts.
- Tier 1 rewards for those deciding to support for the price of a black coffee a month. Typically, conversions that took significant Time To Release, items rare in nature, etc.
- Tier 2 rewards for those deciding to support for the price of a coffee Latte a month. Typically, full outfit conversions that require specialised paid software ($) and extra time to release.
- Jump the queue that tier is for anybody that misses the skills/time/software to convert a freebie to VaM. I simply put it here to avoid being flooded by individual requests. Limited to one person at a time. Hop on/Hop off basis. I am totally fine is nobody takes it. Any subscriber for that tier enjoys the following benefits:
-- Optional Exclusive Use for your VaM renders for 30 days upon request
-- At the end of the optional Exclusive Use period, you decide the applicable tier: Public, Tier 1 or Tier 2.
Q&A
1. How to find apparels from the same creator?
All objects have a prefix so you can easily browse the full collection of the source creator in VaM
2. Why are you paywalling access to some of your conversions?
I believe the kind VaM members that decide to support me for sharing this collection deserve a little something in return in a what goes around comes around model. I reserve the right to decide when moving Patrons' exclusivitiesto Public status at a later stage.
3. Can I inform you of a great freebieI found?
Yes, although it does not constitute any obligation from me to convert it. I am trying to set up my own workplan. I have converted more than a 100 apparels for different tests and I can tell you it is very tempting to jump from one freebie to the next better one without finishing anything. This Patreon is my attempt to put things in order.
4. Can your public posts be added to EasyMate or equivalent megapack?
VaM Community by large is very courteous and respectful of authors. To EasyMate or any megapack creator, contact me to discuss staged inclusion in your future releases. Note that, by default, all .var are tagged 'PC'. Please, respect this choice.
5. Is it possible to include Daz weekly freebies?
No. Daz provides their customers with weekly rotating freebies which you can purchase and check out on Daz store. At the end of the rotating period, the items are for sale again so it is not possible to include them. I solely convert Daz items not available for sale anywhere anytime.
6. I am a Daz source author and I disagree with you converting my creations to Virt-a-Mate software
Note VaM clothing is not backward compatible with Daz software. As the original Daz author or his/her legal representative, you retain the right to ask me to remove the derivative of your original freebie from this Patreon. Should you decide to do so, please PM me and I will take down their publication.
7. I believe you made a mistake and published a paid item
I doublecheck all items I convert are not available for purchase anywhere. Please let me know asap if I fumbled my checkpoint and I will remove the mistaken publication.
8. Some items are marked 'High Vertices' and are not suitable for dynamic scenes. You're not using Daz Decimator?
No, for two reasons: first, I prefer to retain the original quality and secondly, you've seen the price of Daz Decimator + interactive license?!! ;D
