Glance v1.0.0

This is what I extracted from Embody; it only controls the eyes, not the head. I hope it'll be intuitive enough to avoid a need for documentation :)

If you're a mocapper, just add this to your mocap, and tweak what should be looked at! 

Glance (Early Access)

While developing Embody, I realized the eye tracking module could be useful for any mocap animation, where the head is controlled, so I made a dedicated plugin for this. In this plugin, the head direction determines objects that can be looked at within a frustrum (field of view), and the eyes wil...

- Shortcuts to atom on/off
- Keep the plugin's commands order (do not order alphabetically)...

Progress overview

I wanted to make a detailed progress overview for a while, but I've been swamped. Here's a quick recap of what's happening:

- The bulk of my time has been on Embody. While the project blew out of proportion, believe it or not it's getting near completion. I've had some success with automati...

Keybindings, hit or miss?

Hi! I've been surprised that I did not receive much feedback with Keybindings. So, I'd thought I'd ask! Especially for Timeline, it's kind of a game changer to me so I'm wondering if this plugin was worth the time I spent on it.

Keybindings v1.0.1

This is a small hotfix, the "Make default" button exports in the "Saves/keybindings" folder, but defaults load from "Saves/PluginData/Keybindings". This fix updates the "Make default" path, so after updating you can load your old binding and use Make default to save it correctly!

Keybindings v1.0.0

This is it, the first early access release of Keybindings! Let me know what you think!

Embody: Progress

Ok, things are getting very interesting. Here's a quick recap of Embody's progress.

- Bundles Improved PoV, Passenger and Snug
- Adds new features to Passenger, such as "look at object", automatic eye position and improved performance
- Adds new features to Improved PoV, such as the a...

Keybindings plugin gamepad support & Timeline integration

Long story short: Along with the fuzzy find and selection history features, use your gamepad to control Timeline! Here's a quick demo of navigating keyframes and scrubbing, but you could switch animations, select atoms, etc. It's also possible to bind the same thumbstick to multiple actions using...

Progress

Hey all!

Super quick update: the keybindings plugin is working _great_ with Timeline and I'm personally happy with it. I still want to add support for gamepads, since I won't release it before the next VaM release anyway (since the next VaM release will support overriding default shortcuts)...

Keybindings galore

I feel like this might become a must-have for creators. This plugin will allow you to map shortcuts to Timeline, access any VaM feature in a few keystrokes, and other make using Virt-A-Mate with the keyboard a pleasant and efficient experience.

- Bind any key, including series of key chords...

VimVam Sneak Peek

Here's a sneak peek at VimVam, a new shortcuts plugin in progress. It'll allow for multi-key chords, custom actions, scene-level and atom-level bindings and much more. For example, there can be a shortcut for opening the Plugins tab and selecting Timeline automatically for the current at...

Progress: Embody, VimVam and more

Hey all! Since my last post was followed by a flurry of patrons leaving (which is fine by the way, no pressure) I think a small clarification might be helpful about what's happening and where I'm going.

• I'm currently trying very hard to improve the experience with Passenger, Improved ...

Spawn Point

For those who might not have seen it, I released a new plugin, "spawn point", so you can move the player around using triggers or when merge loading scenes!

https://hub.virtamate.com/resources/spawn-po...

VimVam. Vim for Vam.

There's a new shortcuts plugin coming. To be clear, it will not replace the amazing's LFE Keyboard Shortcuts plugin. This one is geared towards advanced uses, when you need to trigger tons of things.

It's going to be inspired by Vim, which means you'll be able to do ":w" to save a scene, as...

So, what now?

Now that Timeline 4 is out, I'm sure you're wondering what's next! I don't currently have any clear plans, except helping out the community with Timeline 4 and fixing issues as they arise. I still hope to help VaM become a serious alternative to SFM and Blender for animations, and I'm feeling lik...

Timeline 4 is now public!

The feedback has been great and v4 is now stable, so enjoy! And remember to let us know when you use Timeline on Discord, Twitter and Reddit!

Thanks for the support of everyone, patrons, people who took the time to report bugs, provide feedback, share ideas, and all of you who create and st...

Timeline v4.0.7

Sorry, yet another bug. It will show a message when you shouldn't (but everything should work). This release fixes the erroneous message. You'll still see the message when a control node is off but it's not in the target's controller settings.

Timeline v4.0.6

NOTE: This fixes a problem in v4.0.5 that made new animation's controllers set "control rotation" and "control position" to off by default. For animations created with 4.0.5, you'll need to go in the controller target, settings and enable them. Sorry about that!

- Control position/rotation ...

Timeline v4.0.5

-  Turn of controller position/rotation at animation level (no blending)

Timeline v4.0.4
