Showing it a bit in action, I didn't have time to do demo videos lately and lots of people probably missed it but it's a pretty cool feature and I wanted to showcase it a bit more and show it in action.

If you downloaded v16 earlier as soon as I posted it, you might want to download it again, there was a bug related to multiple models & positions that was fixed, more details in that post.

The plan for this system is to use it as a cursor of sorts for actions related to the model. For example if you were to drag it to a chair I'd love to have some actions popping up like in Sims: sit, sit reverse, stand etc. 


The initial version of this was for the model to walk to the pointer. It worked but ended up being very similar to PluginIdea's NavgatePlayInVam but of less quality, it was not seamless enough and a bit slow so I went for the teleport instead which seemed more practical for vam. Walking is still something I want to do but I'll probably have to go in a much different direction and use BVH animations to get something with more variety than the existing locomotion plugins (which i can't use because of their licenses 😭)

Can this be disabled by default? Accidentally grabbing it in VR always ends poorly

Can I use this in desktop mode? If yes, how?

yup, the video is on desktop too. so Alive adds a grab thing above the perso head, you just drag that around and the flag thing will appear while still dragging. It's always at the same position so you can just start draging above the person head and it should work (or enable targets with T to see where the grab atom is at) to rotate it, while dragging also press SHIFT. this is a vam general thing, itworks with any atom, when you drag an atom on desktop if you press shift it will go in rotate mode
