Naturalis v1.4-alpha1 (72.var)

This first alpha of Naturalis v1.4 includes the first version of PussyMagic, UI work, some small fixes and a revamp of the update/upgrade scripts. It should be very stable despite the alpha tag. Package version jumps from 69 to 72 to leave room for two v1.3 releases (eventual free release and a possible separate patch release.)

Let's get into it!

PussyMagic

I've posted a dem...

Naturalis v1.3.5 (69.var) patch

• fixed issue where glute joints still had gravity acting on them when BootyMagic was disabled/removed

• fixed a physics explosion issue when the plugin was removed after changing skin while Freeze Physics was enabled in Control & Physics 1

• the Enabled toggle of BootyMagic is no longer interactable if loaded on a male character

• disabled scrol...

Quick progress update

As so often happens, I've underestimated the difficulty and time requirements of a major new feature. Getting PussyMagic to a releasable state is perhaps 2-3x more work than I thought it would be. In my defense, I didn't think about it too hard 😂

The good news is, I've gotten past the biggest technical hurdles, and should be able to release the first Naturalis v1.4 alpha pretty soon. S...

UXPlus v1.1-beta3 (9.var)

A final touch on the favorites feature, and some fixes. I'm a little bit behind on Naturalis development, got some catching up to do - development of new UXPlus features will be on hold for at least 3-4 weeks, maybe longer.

By the way, UXPlus's Hub resource doesn't have any reviews yet. If anyone would like to take 30 seconds to write a quick review, I'd really appreciate...

UXPlus v1.1-beta1 (7.var)

Hey all, this update brings with it improvements to the Alternate Plugins List and one new module. The plugins list is looking a lot more polished now, it's about as optimized as it can be. The perfectionist in me is happy 😏

Naturalis v1.3.4 (68.var)

Two small fixes.

• Fixed issue where Breast Soft Physics Enabled or Glute Soft Physics Enabled toggle value would not load properly from preset. Now that toggle as well as all of the other storable parameters on the main screen (softness etc. sliders, adv soft physics toggles) consistently save/load with the plugin JSON
• Fixed issue where in rare cases the calibration would cy...

UXPlus v1.1-alpha1b (6.var)

Alternate Plugins List fixes

Fixed issues with a plugin panel's layout getting messed up when:

• the plugin is created by loading a plugin preset
• another plugin adds or reloads a plugin programmatically
• VAM waits for user confirmation to load plugins from a var package

There should be no layout issues now. 🎉

UXPlus v1.1-alpha1 (5.var)

The new Alternate Plugins List module is now working well enough that I decided to release it. It includes the improved layout, the restore pre-reload function and the filtering. 

It doesn't yet include preset management (that will probably be a somewhat time consuming thing to do) and the navigation to var package via package icon. The suggested reordering functionality will be look...

New UXPlus module: Alternate Plugins List 

I've been working on this new module a few days, it's been quite a slog to get it to the state shown in the screenshot and there's still many problems to solve. But I've learned a lot. Modifying the VAM user interface at runtime is hard, the main issue being that all changes to the UI need to be reversible so that the default UI is restore...

Default Scene Manager v1.0.2 (3.var)

• Fixed issue where saving a new Scene Load Action for Keybindings incorrectly saved it with the path of the default scene instead of the path of the file that you had selected. This could result in multiple actions being created for the same scene file - you can tell if that's the case when selecting an option in the dropdown highlights multiple options. If you notice this, simply delete t...

Continue Scene v1.0 (1.var)

Continue Scene is a small utility plugin which saves the current scene to Saves/scene/Continue.json when exiting VAM, so you can easily continue where you left off.

As the latest saved scene, Continue always shows up as the first item in the scene browser when you start VAM.

I initially thought this could be a part of Default Scene Manager, but decided to make it a separate plugin. ...

Default Scene Manager v1.0.1 (2.var)

Fixes and QOL improvements. The first version had an issue that prevented the very thing it was meant to do from working properly. 😤 Hopefully no other breaking bugs.

• Fixed null error during initialization if plugin UI wasn't opened yet, causing the default scene not to be loaded on VAM start
• Changed the layout of the scene load action form a bit to be more intuitive. Se...

Default Scene Manager v1.0 (1.var)

This small project is now done!

The plugin allows you to set any scene as a default scene that loads when VAM starts, and create scene load actions for Keybindings to quickly load favorite scenes.

Development status

Hi, just a quick update on what I'm working on and what's coming up.

UXPlus

First off, I've added a new module to UXPlus which enables auto-saving the user default session plugin preset. The auto save triggers when you navigate away from the Session Plugins tab or close the UI. More details on that when I release the UXPlus v1.0 beta, which should be pretty soon.

I'm also th...

Naturalis v1.3.3 (67.var)

Fixed issue where glute joint mass would progressively diminish with each calibration.

The BootyMagic calibration cache will most likely contain results where the joint mass is too low. To get rid of those, you can either click "Calibrate Now Without Cache" as needed to get the saved result to be overwritten with a new result where the mass is correct, or you can just clear the entire cac...

Naturalis v1.3.2 (66.var)

A few really minor bug fixes. 

• gravity simulation controls area was not created on first time UI open (introduced in v1.3.1)
• no more asterisk (*) shown on a soft physics parameter's button in the Physics tab due to Local Distortion or Depth Physics values being modified when those features are disabled
• fixed Fat Collider Friction parameter's Friction Value sli...

UXPlus v1.0-alpha3 (3.var)

Right Click Menu improvements

Go To Trigger Action

UXPlus now supports finding and navigating to existing trigger actions targeting the parameter that the UI element you clicked on controls. This can be helpful if:

• a parameter's value keeps changing but you don't know why - it might be due to some trigger somewhere
• you've set up a trigger for the parameter b...

Naturalis v1.3.0 (64.var) - out of beta

Optimize memory on calibration done

The calibration cache implementation uses a lot of memory (hundreds of MB), most likely due to file reads and writes, even though the files themselves are very small. This memory would normally be freed up at some point automatically (by the ...

Naturalis v1.3-beta4c (63.var)

• Using the Reset button now also sets the advanced soft physics toggles appopriately based on your defaults set in Naturalis U...

Naturalis v1.3-beta4b (62.var)

• Fixed issue where mass could get stuck to minimum value during calibration (introduced in the previous release)
• Fixed issue where loading or resetting the in-plugin TittyMagic or BootyMagic preset during an ongoing calibration would result in the person atom staying in the calibration pose with collision off, instead of restoring the pose and collision back to normal

...

Naturalis v1.3-beta4 (61.var)

This release introduces calibration result caching. It should make using the plugin smoother over time as you accumulate calibration results for models that you use often. It speeds up the calibration for any previously used combinations of model and plugin parameters. 

It took quite a bit of figuring out and testing, and it should work without any issues. If you encounter anything w...
