Yes, Elise is Bella and Gary is the Arnold voice. I have since built custom voices but this was my first attempt and they seemed to fit the characters so well.

Bob

If you don't mind a follow up question, did you just use the pre-made voices right on the start page for free, or did you use a paid plan? Just looking for the best options :-)

Bob

Thanks for the tip!

Spaced

Thank you, great to hear you both enjoyed it! : D The speech is Elevenlabs AI https://elevenlabs.io/ , they are the best by a pretty long way at the moment.

Bob

Dude, epic! My wife loved it, thought it was hilarious! Also, I've gotta ask, AI voices (text to speech) or voice actors? If it's text to speech, which service, because it's really good!

Spaced

Hooray! Great to hear, thanks for letting me know : D

I’m installing UPD. Everything work now. Sorry ..)

Spaced

Oh lordy, yes that's your problem!

Oleg Shcherbakov

Perhaps I need update. I’m still Val 1.20.7 or something

Spaced

Did this work for you in the end or are you still having troubles?

Spaced

Yes I suspect the VAMStory plugin isn't working on your system for some reason, can you try reinstalling it and check that the plugin has been allowed to run at the security prompt? https://hub.virtamate.com/resources/28256/

I tried to use timeline280 but nothing helped. I went into plugins, one plugin for all models is shown in red. Called plugin#3 vamstory.23

Spaced

OK so the scene has not yet started, at this point the loading is handled by VAMStory before it is handed over to Timeline so I think you simply need to wait a little longer for that to happen. If it still doesn't load then it indicates a problem with the VAMStory plugin, are you able to test if this works and is allowed to run on your machine?

Oleg Shcherbakov

I can hear the background. Not talking or music. Loads the scene like the others, I see the loading slider, and as soon as it finishes, usually the scene is visible immediately. But there's only darkness. I can already turn the camera and turn on the menu, but there is darkness around, and only the background of voices

Spaced

Ah, so you just hear some breathing? No speaking or music? In this case I think you simply need to wait a little longer for the scene to load properly, it is still initialising.

Oleg Shcherbakov

in Desktop and vr cant see anything. Only noise of people. Dont chek timeline 280. PC pretty good for this)

Spaced

Oh damn, sorry about this. Can you give me some more details, do you hear sound / music? Does it work if you go back to Timeline 280? Is VAMStory plugin up to date and allowed to run? VR or desktop or both? Also what are your PC specs?

Oleg Shcherbakov

Still Black screen(

Spaced

I have what I think is a fixed version but it turns out I was unable to break the original version in the way I expected so I'm not 100% sure on it. I'll push the update anyway so please let me know if it works.

No

Are you working on an update fix? I also have the issue with it being all black in vr

Spaced

Great, I know how to fix this. Thanks for letting me know.

SilentMan

yep, it was timeline. 280 works as intended, thanks!

Spaced

There is another thing you could try. I'm having some issues with Timeline 282 in my next scene, it may have some weird bugs. Try deleting it and letting the scene fall back on Timeline 280?

Spaced

Can you try on a clean install of VAM?

SilentMan

i hadent updated to latest version, but even after i did it still has a black screen as everything plays. desktop this happens as well, all your other scenes never have this problem
