Hi friends,
first of all, thanks to the users of our Beta channel for testing and providing valuable feedback on the forums and on Discord!
So, what’s new?
We were already proud of our self-programmed cloth system, but it had its flaws. The clipping issues, in particular, were something we couldn’t completely eliminate with the existing system. However, we've rebuilt the cloth system from scratch, and we believe it’s a significant leap forward.
With „Auto-fit“ you'll experience almost no clipping, and the clothes will load faster. We've also applied different thickness to the pieces - e.g. knitted garments will be thicker than a pantyhose. Additionally, undress commands for individual clothing pieces have been implemented, addressing a feature many of you have requested.
Disclaimer: Erected Nipples will stay a problem!
Moving on to another intricate body feature – hair. For our female characters, we've implemented a Body Hair simulation, covering pubic hair, eyebrows, eyelashes, and vellus hair – the barely visible, tiny, fluffy stuff.
The Hottie now better understands the distinction between commands and conversation, thanks to a fuzzy matching system we've integrated to minimize misunderstandings.
For the toy users: VR HOT now works seamlessly with Intiface from buttplug.io
But there’s more!
For users of the additional software 'Virtual Desktop', we have added a Green Screen Room. This allows for a Basic Passthrough Mode. It has been tested and approved for Quest 2, 3, and Pro. Beta users are telling us that it also works with the Pico 4!
We've also added a pantyhose for the fans, introduced seven additional hairstyles, included four more skins, and implemented new sliders for skin specular effects, genitals, glutes, legs, along with improvements to the softbody sim, hair shader, wrinkle system, skin rendering, and face expressions…
Phew.
Oh, and nearly forgot – bug fixes! Check them out in the full list below. Especially the fixed AMD GPU driver issues might be interesting.
Take care
