Ayano Reworked - Nearing Completion
Hey everyone, sorry for the quiet week here! As said before had a few IRL things to catch up on, plus I spent a bit of time making some cyberpunk stuff for the contest on discord (check it out if you haven't yet!).Anyways, I wasn't happy with Ayano's original morph afterall, way too much diversity in the concept, so I reworked the morph to lean less to the American and more to the Japanese. Also decided she needed a literal ton of hair to go with her? I have way too many hair idea...
WIP - Ayano
Just a little teaser of my next custom model I'm working on. Ayano is a Japanese American with an innocent demeanor but some attitude lurking behind.So far I'm pretty happy with the morph. I still need to create textures/markings, & the hairstyle is still very much WIP (and I may make a non-cyberpunk hair for her as well). Due to a massive amount of time and content I have been producing at lately this may take me a little longer as I have a few IRL things to take care of, but hoping to ...

Faye Natural Hairstyle
This is a long hairstyle with nice volume, curls, and loose strand layers. Highly recommended to use "hair preset" tab for selection to make it easier to load all 3 in correct colors.Made to be used with Faye (see next post), though will work with any other model of course.Download here: https://hub.virtamate.com/resources/faye-hair.4762/
Lulu Bangs for SupaRioAmateur Model (Free Colab)

(You may need to configure them manually on her after loading in VA...
Ana - Full Model Release
As voted with most popularity in the last poll: Ana is an Egyptian sniper and she is locked, loaded, and ready to deliver the medicine. She comes with face body and genital morphs, two hairstyles, & custom makeup.The outfit as pictured is created by none other than MeshedVR included in the most recent VAM Update 1,20,77,3, so I suggest everyone to get that update for the outfit and more.Keeping things short and sweet, make sure you have everything in the depend text file and you should be able t...
Ana 8K Teaser
Spent some time to finish up Ana, should be ready to go in the next few days... just finishing up the last little adjustments here and there! :)
Space Odyessy - Animated Scene (BETA Release)
Finally, after many more weeks of learning about animating, trigger logic, and all kinds of things that make a scene work, I am at last done an early Beta version of this multi-posed, configurable scene. This took a bit longer than orginally anticipated as the new VAM update set me a bit behind due to some unexpected freezing and crashing, so I thank all of you supporters for your patience.As of now there is a single animation stream consisting of 3 linear stages, with 5 total poses interchangea...
Y. Ana (WIP)
Just a little teaser of my first draft of Ana. Still have a lot of work to do on the makeup and morph, and trying to find out what hairstyle works best for her (especially since she doesn't have a hat).Probably going to make another thousand adjustments over the next week or so!
Poll - Next "Side" Project
*Poll is now closed* And the clear winner by a mile was new Overwatch Model. Since Young Anna was the only one asked for in the comments, that's who I will work on over the coming weeks alongside the animation project. As there is no outfits for her in VAM yet she will likely just be nude model, but hey really that's the important part anyways right? Stay tuned for updates! ;)Hi again, hope everyone likes the last couple exclusives.As said at the end of that last post, I'm dedicating...
Hana: Full Model Release
Here we go, the final result of hours, days, and weeks of learning and hard work to make Hana.

Important - Patron Tiers Update

As long as you are an active supporter at the time of this post, you will notice the Hair Stylist tier has been changed to Original Stylist, a tier that continues to get access to all of my cont...
Sarah : Model + Hair + Animated Bouncy Jogging
Here is the first look and har I've been working on for a while. Sarah is a sporty girl who loves to jog, and you can now watch her jog in all of her glory.This release is mostly intended as a fitness model with a natural flowing ponytail, but I made the jogging animation for fun to help me learn timeline. I have put attention into physics and animation quality to really make all of her parts "bounce".The hairstyle is using a new method to create a very natural look with a custom sca...
Progress Update - New Models, Hairstyles, Animations, & Tutorials
As promised before, I'm just going to make a quick list of current projects I am working on to give an idea of my workflow and what everyone can expect over the coming weeks and months.HAIR & MODELSAs always, I am constantly thinking of new ideas for models and hairstyles (as you can see in the picture above), which I basically do in-between all of the other things. Hair & Model releases will still happen as usual, however due to the increased intensity and time these take me, most "orig...
90's Curls Hairstyle
This is a commission made to capture some 90's star hair with lots of volume and messy curls. Used some new techniques with the tools, gravity, and rigidity painting to make this look as natural while staying to the intended design Just the one style for now but could be more in the future if there is more interest.Thanks for your patience this month with slightly fewer actual releases, as I am spending a huge amount of time learning Timeline, Video Editing, and also trying new hairstyling t...
Rikku FFX-2 Colab Project
Good day everyone,Recently I was asked to collab with Testitou to make Rikku's hair, and since she is my all-time favorite character I respectfully agreed to do so. As you can see, she turned out quite well, though the hair took a lot of work to get right. It uses clothing for the braids since VaM doesn't do braids like that with current tools, and I just designed the hair around those features.Since Testitou (AKA VAMitou) was the one to actually port the morphs, textures, and clothing, ...
Hair Tutorial #1 - How to Make a Simple Hairstyle
Hi everyone,I spent some hours learning how to edit videos and have the first tutorial ready to go. As I have time I will be making some more videos to follow.You can watch the tutorial here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sVHzrm1DHBEI also welcome any feedback as this is the first video I've ever made, and the hairstyle was basically made at random with no reference (which is part of the fun sometimes!).
Hair Tutorials Poll
Happy new year everyone!I've had many requests over the past to make some actual VaM hair tutorials, I may try to learn some video editing with adobe premier to try starting off with some basic tutorials. For those who were on my old discord server, it will be similar except try to make one long video for each topic, instead of 100 short videos).As this will be quite a large undertaking for me, I'd like to know what most people are most interested in learning about the hair styling syste...
Diana Bun
Good evening, VaM-47, allow me to supply you with Diana's hairstyle from the Hitman games. Nothing much to explain in terms of use, straight forward with some rigidity painting and should perform well. File sizes are a bit larger as I had to make some edits to the free Udane scalp alpha which required extacting the textures and including them in the VAR. This was a commission for Neci / VGC-VR, who made a very good Diana & Agent 47 combo "Project 47" available on their patreon here: ...

She spends her free time hunting down criminals and street gangs to earn cash and respect, or enjoying her favorite braindances after a few drinks.This model includes an extra custom Cyberpunk hairstyle not included in the previous pack, made specifically for Ava's style. Also includes her new Ocular cybernetic enhancements, allowing her to target and home-in on "organic matter" at lightning speed.IMPORTANT- ...
Cyberpunk Hairstyles
This is a pack of 10 cyberpunk themed hairstyles to satisfy that futuristic craving for your models.On top of the 10 hairstyles, there are also 2 buzz styles which are meant to be used together with the other styles, as labeled on the filenames. Performance should be fine for most mid-high end PC's as the settings are, but can be tweaked for preference as always in the physics tab (mostly hair multiplier will have the greatest impact).Includes 10 Hair Presets (finally!) to make matching the ...
Cyberpunk Hairstyles WIP
Hi everyone,Appologies for the recent week of radio silence, I was having some graphics card issues but that is all fixed up now!I've finally had time to check out the cyberpunk hairs, so doing some VaMified versions of them as shown above (also won the recent vote). Those are just a few of the styles, I plan to make somewhere between 5-10 styles from the game - *some* with a few of my own personal variations - depending how well they work out.Since this will be a bigger package of hairs, it...
Mew - Thai Model + Hairstyle
Mew is a sweet Thai girl who loves spicy food and karaoke. She recently entered into the Miss Universe contest, but quickly left the contest after she saw a vendor making some delicious Pad-Thai across the river. She is a country girl who always dreamed of making it big in Bangkok someday, perhaps you could help her realize her dreams.This look includes a custom hairstyle made specifically for her, a simple yet traditional Thai hairstyle. I left the hair settings at medium so if you notice any h...
Ayaka's Tranquility - A fantasy environment.
Ayaka's tranquility is a relaxing fantasy environmental scene I have been slowly editing over several months, meant to demonstrate some potential of piecing together many of the Virt-A-Mate communities efforts at making particles, plants, and lights. There is no special animations or anything, but just more of an artistic experience of custom environment building. This is also the environment I usually use to build all of my hairstyles in. Ayaka herself is a half-wolf half-human female best ...
Quick Poll - December Hairstyle Options
Just throwing a few ideas for some hairstyles to work on throughout December, would be nice to know how everyone feels to determine which ones I will prioritize first. If Cyberpunk is voted, I will of course need to wait until the game is actually released (10 days to go!) so I can inspect them better for more accuracy.
