CHANGES in vamX 1.27
More realistic facial expressions using the included paid and free morphs from AshAuryn designed for vamX (more morphs for creators available from patreon.com/AshAuryn). These morphs include activation of many additional subtle muscles, thereby creating more realistic expressions. Her default expressions, sex expressions, and emotions (Other -> Mood / Emotions) have all been improved. Her default, non-sex, facial expression is also now more neutral (as requested by patrons). If you prefer a more happy or flirty default expression go to Other -> Mood / Emotions -> Female.
Greatly improved lip-sync jaw and mouth movements for most female voices (voices after the first two pages). Lip sync is now more realistic and contains fewer distortion errors, even when combined with other morphs.
VaM Sync now works correctly with Max & Lush. Lovense devices are now in-sync (instead of in reverse sync), and can respond at both slow and very quick speeds. You can now also choose which device you are using to optimize VaMSync for that device (Handy/Stroker vs. Max/Lush/Vibrator). Updated the Help -> Sex Toys to include information about using Lovense devices as well as physics based thrust detection (measures real penetration depth, best for vibrating toys as the Handy updates too slowly). This help can also be opened through Plugins -> Control The Handy & Other Toys -> HELP.
Added Drag Body button to Plugins -> Embody. Press Drag Body if you are using Embody and want to move around the room freely (especially useful when playing with RagDoll females who can be pushed away).
Improved female hand movements (both from Start Thrust and Pose -> 2nd Page -> FEMALE HAND). These now better target the correct areas. This makes an overall improvement in Action -> Start Thrust, with more natural and less awkward looking animations (although still not totally natural). The Touches Male Throat button works best when transitioning from already touching the Male Neck.
You can use a Strap-on as a floating Dildo (instead of the Male), if you hide the Male then go to Male -> 2nd Page -> Toggle Strap-on. This was possible in the previous release but was never announced.
If this is your first time using vamX, start with the vamX Tutorials scene as described in the download steps below.
Download and Run vamX
1) Download vamX1.27.var Update 1 from Mega (released 2/19/23) - for Virt-a-Mate 1.20.77.9 and above (including 1.21). The old first release of vamX.1.27.var had an error when switching the female look into a male so if possible download the Update 1.
2) THE BASE HAS CHANGED! YOU MUST ALSO DOWNLOAD vamX.Base.1.var (or from Mega) EVEN IF YOU ALREADY HAVE IT!
If you are trying to update the Steam version (no longer for sale), see these simple instructions.
3) Optionally (not required) download the AddonPackages. These haven't changed since vamX.1.23.
4) Put var packages (from steps 1-3) in your Virt-a-Mate/AddonPackages folder. Don't rename or extract .var package files. If you have previous versions of vamX, you can delete them. Previous versions are only useful if you created and saved scenes with those versions of vamX. If you don't have Virt-a-Mate or a Virt-a-Mate key, learn more here.
5) Open Virt-a-Mate, click the Scene Browser, then find and open the vamX scene (thumbnail of a woman wearing a bra and panties, lying on a bed). If it's your first time using Virt-a-Mate, start with the vamX Tutorials scene instead. If you see a white box instead of the vamX menu, you don't have the vamX.Base.1.var package in the root of your AddonPackages folder. To verify the vamX package version before opening the vamX scene, click the gear icon in the bottom right corner of the vamX scene icon.
6) If it's your first time using vamX, press Help -> vamX MAIN TUTORIAL from the vamX UI -> Scene tab.
7) If you're having problems or want to learn advanced tricks, see vamX Help.
8) Should I download anything else? If you've downloaded the latest version of vamX, you have all vamX features. The only additional thing you can download are the separate vamX Environments. Environments can only be opened as separate Virt-a-Mate scenes and cannot be switched to in the main vamX scene tab.
9) First get comfortable using the vamX scene, then advanced users can Add vamX to other scenes.
VAMX VOICE CONTROL 1) Set your Windows default microphone before opening Virt-a-Mate 2) Have the Virt-a-Mate window active (the last selected window selected by clicking anywhere in the Virt-a-Mate program or clicking the Virt-a-Mate icon, not by using Alt-tab). You can download VaM Stay In Front .zip (Optional - Helps if you accidentally click other windows while using Virt-a-Mate - VaM Stay In Front keeps the Virt-a-Mate window active, which keeps voice commands active). Learn more about voice commands
Addon Packages (optional) Full Addon Packages folder (2.6 GB) (You must still download vamX 1.27 in addition). Some vamX items and pages are marked in-game as AddOn, to use those items you need the Addon Packages. The Addon Packages haven't changed for vamX 1.27.
Voice Effects Pack (optional) In Sound you can add Vocal Effects. All Vocal Effects are modifications of the original female Belle voice. You can choose from a variety of normal sounding or strange (e.g. angel, robot, monster) voices. Download the vamX Voice Effects Pack.
For those already familiar with vamX functionality you can load vamX into any scene using the Merge Load scenes. Watch the Merge Load Tutorial Video on Mega or X VIDEOS (set the quality in x videos to 1080p). You can also use the Add vamX plugin which adds an "Add vamX" button to the main Virt-a-Mate menu.
ADDITIONAL IMPROVEMENTS & FIXES
Added Drag Body button to Plugins -> Embody. Press this button if you are using Embody and want to be able to move around the room freely. By default, if this isn't pressed, many of the Embodied person's controllers (body parts) are locked in place and/or controlled by vamX. For example you can embody a male in a particular position, while he is thrusting, and he will continue to thrust and maintain that position, even while you Embody his head and hands. If, on the other hand, you wish to drag the male to a new location (if his feet aren't possessed having them drag under his head and hands) then you can press the new Drag Body button to disable all non embodied parts. This is especially useful when in ragdoll mode, as your partner may move far away from you, and you need to follow and move freely around the room while embodied.
Improved AIV-L voice.
Added support for Lovense vibrating devices. Tested with the Lovense Max 2 and Lovense Lush. Now when starting VaM Sync for toy support, you are prompted to choose between Lovense Devices and The Handy / Other stroking toys. Lovense devices were not working well with settings made for The Handy (for example they turned off completely at low thrusting speeds), so they will work much better in this release.
Added new Physics Sync for Lovense toys (and to some extent also for The Handy and stroking toys). This allows toys to respond to complex sex animations or manual control from Plugins -> Possess Sex (although imperfectly, read more below). This works best for vibrating toys. The Handy and other stroking toys (except the OSR2 / SR6) can't update quickly enough to manually set locations, rather they operate by receiving commands sent at a relatively slow rate, that instruct the device in advance to start moving to a specific location at a specific speed. The Handy and similar toys work best when linked to a rhythmic (predictable) thrusting animation pattern, like those created from the vamX Actions panel. The new Physics Sync checks the actual current penetration percent at all times, and sends this information to the toy. Physics Sync works well for Lovense devices, as they can be controlled quickly via Bluetooth with frequent commands about how deep insertion is. Physics sync doesn't work well (but can be used) for The Handy. Since The Handy (and Launch) can't receive frequent changes to location / speed, a prediction of the thrust is made and sent, but it isn't perfect and takes time (there is a delay) between what you do in VaM and when (and if) the toy responds.
New and improved facial expression morphs from AshAuryn in Other -> Mood / Emotions. These new morphs are much more lifelike, based on the facial action coding system in Genesis 8/9 (which add additional muscle activation in the cheeks and surrounding facial muscles for improved realism). For additional expressions, check out https://www.patreon.com/AshAuryn.
Fixed issue where auto-align would sometimes try to align the penis and vagina for insertion during the animation / time period where he pulls out and cums on her.
Improved pose alignment when using MOVE POSE with seated poses.
Fixed major issue with loading vamX 3some scenes. Loading vamX scenes that had been saved with a 3some person caused the Male to disappear and the 3some to become the Male.
Fixed major issue where if you started an Other -> Dance & Animated Sex, then switched back to a sex pose, the couple wouldn't thrust until the scene was reloaded.
Fixed issue where chair poses and standing poses were at the wrong height in the simple scene with the antique bed (on Scene page 3).
Fixed issue where chair poses were at the wrong height and in the dark in the simple scene with the wooden floor (on Scene page 3).
Fixed issue where Plugins -> 2nd Page -> Configure Head Control & Expressions -> vamX Expressions ON could choose oral sex or kissing expressions even when not in oral sex / kissing.
Fixed issue where the starting camera view of the vamX scene and/or tutorial scene was not optimal in Desktop Mode (the camera was moved a little left, up, or was too close).
Improved detection of when she should open her mouth and assume a light kissing or french kissing expression (based on distance to the camera or distance to the male head). This wasn't accurate before and resulted in her showing kissing expressions at the wrong times. For example she might kiss if you went near her forehead. Also the detection for blow job expressions (lip to penis) have been improved. Improved light kissing morph to use AshAuryn's kiss expressions.
When exiting the HELP & Setup Instructions for the Handy and other toys (from Plugins -> Control The Handy, Launch & Other Toys) you now correctly return to the Toy Control page.
Improved loading of scenes saved with Toy integration.
Removed female spanking male with her right hand as a random occurrence, since it's often misaligned and also knocks sex out of alignment (left hand spanking still occurs).
Stopped Start Thrust / auto pose changes from automatically switching from standing doggie to standing masturbation.
Greatly improved animated transition between standing doggie and standing doggie leg up poses (which do automatically switch during Start Thrust / auto pose change).
Improved first bed blow job pose (next to the first bed hand job pose). This pose had bad alignment. This blow job and hand job poses have improved animated transitions, which work most times, for most looks, but this is still imperfect.
Improved alignment for the 3 female reverse riding poses on the 2nd page of bed poses. These have improved alignment, but still not perfect alignment for all looks / scenes. The legs are pushing into each other pushing the hips out of place for some looks / scenes.
BUGS / IN PROGRESS
Female hand auto-movement and pose alignment have been improved but are still imperfect. Also, jaw movement for some looks during low arousal still results in some (but less) jaw distortion and will be further improved in future releases.

Did you run VaM_Updater.exe? That's Virt-a-Mate, supported by MeshedVR not vamX. If you aren't a MeshedVR supporter, and also don't have the Steam version, updating could take you back to a trial mode of Virt-a-Mate. You need to revert back to the older 1.20 version of Virt-a-Mate (the latest 1.20) or get a new key from www.patreon.com/MeshedVR .

Hello. I run VaM on a flash drive. I ran the updater. It finished but the exe file still has the old date. Also, opened VaM and none of my scenes are in the scene finder. What am I doing wrong?
vamX
You only need the latest version
toy heart
Do I need all the versions or can I just download this one?
vamX
If you go through the main tutorial it talks about this, one thing you can do is click the pose again, to reload that pose, even twice. Also, when starting sex you can use simple thrust instead of Start Sex to help it stay in. There is also a Fix Pose section in pose, starting with the ability to set the scale of both male and female to 1.0. If you have very different sized people, then only some poses will align properly, so if you want to keep very unusually sized people you may need to try different types of poses (bed, chair, standing) to find some the align, or you can try changing the size of the people a bit. Mainly, though, in 90% of the situations, just click the pose again, wait a second and even click it again to reload the pose and align everything.

I really like this project, but i have big issue. when i'm loading males and choosing sex positions, most of the time the Penis is not getting inside the Vagina, so i need to fix it. there is a quick way to do it? as for now i'm bashing my head against the wall trying to fix that problem.

This is an issue in Virt-a-Mate, not vamX. The create button is broken in Virt-a-Mate itself and will be fixed in a Virt-a-Mate update (released soon). Then you can press Create and get what you are missing. Meanwhile you can revert to Virt-a-Mate 1.20.x or manually remove the vamXBootstrapper.cs from the root of the vamX.1.27.var file. This is just an error in Virt-a-Mate 1.21

The major problem here is still that you substitute the default scenes top menu when many creators use it to save templates. Clicking the create button doesn't work to switch menus.

I didn't even realize Lovense Max support was on the roadmap. This is AWESOME!

This update is a bit picky about working on details, but I feel like those details needed to be addressed. I get it's not for everyone, sorry. We had a huge number of users wanting compatibility with these toys. It was the most requested feature I've ever had. Also a lot of users requesting more realistic facial expressions and disappointed with the old expressions. There is an unfinished feature with regards to a set of blow job animations, along with a ton of other unfinished features. The blow job stuff got put aside, for example, because we ended up making a lot of new blow job poses, and people seemed satisfied with that. Feel free to throw in your suggestions for what you'd like to see. The general plan (subject to change as always) is to first add some more content for female customization (skins, makeup, hair, etc.) and a few new looks and resources, then to shift over to more mocap animation stuff, and perhaps more stories. What do you think?
DG
Where is the interactive BJ that was promised over 6 months ago? Even the thumbnail is removed since some updates... More animated poses, which I remember that was also promised, but not delivered. More poses in general? More interaction options? More customizing option?
DG
Sorry but disagree that this is a "great" update. How many of us are using these toys? Not many I guess,. Nice that the facial expressions have been improved but they were ok to begin with so this is not a major thing either. There are many bug fixes, yes but one can't help but wonder if we will be obliged to consider them as "ugrades". All in all, I feel a bit disappointed
