Monthly Report: March
🕑 Added 2021-03-31 09:13:32 +0000 UTCMonthly Report is a bit late this month as all available VaM time in the last few weeks went into finishing the DoubleTrouble scene.
DoubleTrouble
Current plan is to spend a bit more time on polishing the scene as well as producing some video. I guess I need to explain better what this is actually is and why its not "just another scene". Might of course be because it was released late on a Monday, shortly before the end of the month and there is currently nice sunshine weather in Europe, but literally zero votes on Reddit might indicate people simply did not understand what this is about and that literally multiple hundreds of hours went into making it possible, if you include the SecretRoom environment, as well as Life, PowerHandles, IdlePoser and LogicBricks plugins.
Another reason might also be that there is actually something broken with the release? I got a report that the scene did not start. I had hoped the red panel and button (see screenshot above) would be obvious? It works for me on Oculus obviously, but maybe it's broken when using OpenVR/SteamVR or something?
When you click the button, it should select a particular Empty atom (named "SceneSetup" directly below the panel) and open its PluginUI. There you follow the steps. Essentially press the "Start Possess" button, use the sliders to adjust rotation (i.e. if you are not facing "front" of your VR setup you can rotate accordingly) and then press the "Start Scene" button. If you don't want to possess, just skip steps 1 and 2 and directly press the "Start Scene" button. After starting the scene, animations should start within 1-2 seconds, a handjob from either one of the girls or the fleshlight thing. After that everything can happen at random, including tilting the chair into down position.
A few animation glitches are to be expected, but if a few people could please comment whether the scene and setup system is actually working, that would be very helpful :)
Other plans
There is also another minor IdlePoser update coming that will fix the morph reference issue that's causing trouble when you try to export a scene as VAR while referencing a morph in another VAR. For the DoubleTrouble release I had to manually fix the JSON files in the package.
Beyond that there is no concrete plan what I will be doing. Lots of cool ideas as usual and too little time to do them all. I don't want to commit to anything particular at this point.
Cheers & stay safe,
