I spent most of last week working on the new sim hair that supports custom (import) hair and styling, but did not make it far enough to include anything in the next release. I can see after this initial work there is quite a bit more to do in this...

Just a quick update. I did receive my Index, and yes I'm working on official support for it now. Overall I'm pretty impressed by Index, but not as much as I thought I would be. To me the Rift S has a clearer image that doesn't suffer as much from ...

This last week brought a lot of work on the VaM2 platform. After each VaM release some time will be spent on VaM2 to make progress towards the future for VaM. Due to this parallel work, VaM releases will not always come out on an exact mon...

Just run VaM_Updater.exe found in your install folder to update. Click the Update to 1.17.0.2 and the update will start. You will have to re-enter your keys after patching. I'll fix future VaM_Updater.exe to not overwrite the keys. Enjoy!

We spent the last week and a half enhancing, testing, polishing, and generally making the new features more user friendly so the initial quality should be high instead of feeling like alpha/beta features.
Here is what has been worked on sinc...
