New hardware (Patreon)

Hi! I have finally set up leap motion, which will let me animate fingers in my scenes. To be honest, it's a bit less than I expected, the FOV is small, but as for animating in scenes it is perfectly workable. I am already doing fingers in my scenes. However, running leap motion with VAM also tanks my performance.

So, regarding performance, I decided to upgrade my PC quite significantly within the next few days. For my work this means that quality of lighting in scenes will improve drastically (no more 2-3 pixel lights max rule), animation quality will improve (capturing in higher fps is always better), and I can finally realize some of my scene ideas which required 3 people, and also Haven for Thought (which wasn't expanded on because I had poor performance there with 2 persons).

Still, the journey into VAM on a potato PC has let me learn many optimization methods which I would have ignored otherwise, so you can expect my scenes still be well optimized, but from now on more demanding. I feel like I'm the only one playing VAM in VR on a rig THAT old, so increase in performance demand in my scenes shouldn't hurt anyone.
