Body Weight v1.0 (1.var)
Added 2024-04-21 18:30:37 +0000 UTCHello! Here's a small new plugin that allows you to adjust the masses of different regions of the body, and includes defaults that distribute the mass realistically for a total of 60 kg.
The default mass in VAM is weird, the person only weighs 27.4 kg and the mass is not distributed correctly. It's also a surprising that the masses of different joints are not adjustable in the UI by default, with the exceptions of breast and glute mass.

I stumbled upon this idea while planning the joint angle based morphing system that I've talked about. That would pair well with another morphing system that morphs a region of the body based on the amount of force pulling it (e.g. gravity), but this requires that different regions have a realistic mass, hence this plugin. I feel like there's huge potential here, as by default the body is basically static and only looks correct in the upright pose. In reality, all of the skin and muscles and fat would shift towards the direction of gravity or other forces in every pose. But let's not get ahead of ourselves... just something that I'm fantasizing about implementing :D
