PLUGIN UPDATE: Alive v52 (files) (Patreon)

Content

I was planning to do a smaller update for v52 but I ended up pushing to finish a couple of big features that have been pending for a while now and blocking progress on other stuff. The effects system in particular required altering A LOT of code so there might be some bugs and updates coming soon.



NEW IN V52


CHARACTERS

Characters are like smarter vam models. Normal vam models have just the look. Characters have the look but also more information and settings attached to them. For now it's just chat personality stuff (info, description, voice settings, chat memory).


EFFECTS SYSTEM

This was a very large update and I had to redo lots of features, most of the procedural animations. For people that adventured into doing advanced triggers in v51, they'll probably require changes for v52. I had to redo stuff differently, in a way that allows for things to be more organized and easy to connect.

Effects are things happening on the person, commands that change how the person acts. Like the commands to look away, or twerk, or keep the hands on the hip. Until now these were all in different menus and to turn them off you'd have to find them. Now they appear in the bottom bar next to the person and when clicked they can be interacted with, cancelled. There's more stuff that I'll try to add to it, like the personality settings too and the auto posing.


AI CHAT

Thanks to the character system, the layout and the chat interaction should be a bit more intuitive now. Characters can have their own custom voices. There's support for *actions* too now. New settings let you turn off Alive's custom header that gets sent to the AI as well as the extra formatting and cleanup Alive does to the AI message. The UI is a bit more clean now too and it's easier to make the AI continue its messages by clicking on Continue or just sending an empty message.



AI REACT

This new feature allows the chat AI to respond to something it sees in VAM. Basically a small screenshot gets captured from the eyes of the model. This will require Automatic1111 to be running alongside the chat AI so it might be a bit slow for some, especially on very heavy vam scenes. There are two modes High Quality and Low Quality in the Services app. Low Quality is way quicker, but what the AI 'sees' will be less accurate. The first time running will be slower than usual, it takes a bit for the AI model to load.


CHANGELOG

  • CHANGE: adjusted minimum time for eye macrosaccades to be dependent of macrosaccade strength, reduce extremely fast eye movement 
  • CHANGE: added better AI introduction to help it make more nsfw friendly and more role-play, reduce some AI models like llama2 drifting in assistant mode

OK, Posting at the top level for visibility - I worked out a repeatable process for adding an Alive AI Character to an existing (or future) Scene that contains a Person with a Look (I tried and succeeded with two of the most recent uploads on the Hub - Hailee and Maggie.) It seems like a lot of steps when written out, but that's so that every single step is recorded and nothing is left out or left for you to guess at. 1. Download Hailee by Xspada (most recent look on the hub right now) 1a. Note the (short, almost useless) description: "Hailee is a sweet girl." We'll use that later. 2. Select the blue "In Library Open Scene" button from the Hub Page. 3. Scene loads in a white soundstage. 4. Alive Loads normally. 6. Select Characters, Create new character. 7. Observe "Character #1234567 created! dialog. 8. Select OK button 9. Select the Settings tab of the Character Profile Screen 10. Change the First Name to "Hailee". Optional: Change the last name. 11. Add "Hailee is a sweet girl" to the Description. 11a (Optional) Use Oogabooga to generate a one paragraph Description for you! "Write me a character description for Hailee Howard, who is a sweet girl. The description should focus on backstory and personality, and be one paragraph long. 11b (Optional) Use Oogabooga to generate the Chat Example text, too "Give me a 3-round SMS text example using Hailee (annotated as ":" ) and her best male friend You (annotated as "You:") The chat should cover very mundane topics, and be from the perspective that Hailee and You have not seen each other in one hour, so no "long time no see" greeting is allowed. 12: Pick an ElevenLabs or Local voice of your choice. 13: Select the blue Save Settings button at the bottom of the page. 14: Select the Profile Tab and observe that the Character is now Hailee Howard and under that is the Character Number (1234567) 15: in the VaM UI, select Edit Mode. 16: Select the "Select Person" button (bottom row, 2nd from the end, between the Arrow and the Wrench buttons) 17: The UI panel opens to the Presets screen and the Person Atom is named "Person" (or similar - some creators name their characters here) at the top in the blue part. 18: Highlight the Name and change it to "Character-1234567" - whatever the Character Number is from step 14. 19: In the bottom menu, select the Alive Character outlined in purple, and note that the Profile and Interact menus are missing from the options in the bottom left. 19: Save the scene with a name of your choice. 20: Open the scene you just saved. 21: In the bottom menu, select the Alive Character outlined in purple, and note that the Profile and Interact menus are now active in the bottom left, and Hailee is looking around as though Alive is active. 22: Final touches: Select the Profile menu at the top of the left menu stack 23a: Select the Camera on the Portrait and take a new headshot of Hailee. 23b: Select the 'Three Dots Menu' at the right and select "Save Look". 24: Select the Interact button in the lefthand stack and say Hi to Hailee! 25: (Optional) Demonstrate to yourself that it's repeatable by doing it over with another Look from the hub. (I went with KWB Series - Maggie)

Spent some time playing around, and I'm impressed! I can see the rough edges getting smoother and I like the direction it's heading. I set a character to be an undercover agent who refuses to say who she works for out of fear for her life and the interaction is good. In particular I'm excited to see what you do combining the AI assistant with chat dialog. I'm sure stuff like this is already on your roadmap but do you think it will be possible to integrate AI assistant commands into the same sentence, e.g. "Okay let's leave, I command you to stand up" where "I command you to" triggers a "stand up" action or something along those lines? A little UI feedback, the upper part of the posing thumbnail can get cut off if the text is too long and wraps to a second line, I'm seeing it with the 'STANDING ###' positions.

Commands like that should already be possible but they have to be added manually now and it's a bit of work. Thanks for letting me know about that bug!
