The main feature of this update is the texture importer. Up until now the game has been using the default gen 8 textures but it's now possible to import any Gen 3 or 8 texture set. There's a huge amount of these available on the Daz website so it'll now be possible to create much more varied characters! I've also included several new built in textures, make up and tattoo presets with more to come in later versions.
A lot of work went into the texture and decal system so unfortunately the new hair didn't quite make it into this build, but I will be focusing on that next as hair needs a lot more options. I'm also beginning to think about adding male characters in the months ahead, as well as improving and finishing existing game systems like the animation recording, posing and AI.
Some of the new toys I talked about in my previous update are included in this release, the strap-on harness is great fun and there's new double ended and penis shaped dildos. Asstronauts get to test out the new anal beads and also get a bonus version of the penis dildo with added balls! The previously Asstronaut only long bendy dildo is now unlocked for Galactic Traders as well.
Astral Body Patrons should have received their download links via email as usual.
Thank you so much to everyone for your support so far, you make all the hard work worth it and keep pushing me to make Captain Hardcore the best game possible! I couldn't do it without you guys. 👽
Update v0.6 release notes:
NEW: Import ANY Daz Genesis 3 or Genesis 8 textures, or your own custom textures!
- Supports .jpg, .png and .bmp format.
- Place them in the Texture Import folder and select them using the new in game file browser.
- There are slots for diffuse, specular, roughness, normal, bump and decals. Use the decal slot to add custom makeup and tattoos!
- Decal colour and alpha can be adjusted to customise makeup and tattoo appearance. When using a darker skin texture it's best to darken the decals slightly to help blend them with the skin.
- To create your own makeup or tattoos use the Daz Gen 8 UV templates. Use an image editor like Photoshop to place the decal where you want on the template and save as a transparent PNG file. A couple of examples have been included.
- When loading a character with imported textures the game will pause briefly as it converts the images to textures for use in the engine. A loading screen will be displayed for a few seconds. If any textures were missing or couldn't be loaded they will be highlighted in red.
NEW: Improved skin shader built to work with any imported textures.
NEW: 3 built in skin texture presets.
NEW: 7 built in makeup presets.
NEW: 9 built in tattoo presets.
NEW: Cinematic camera mode for desktop users with focus and Depth of field settings. Can be used to take cinematic looking screenshots or just for viewing the action.
NEW: Strap on harness (find it in the clothing accessories menu).
NEW: Realistic and bumpy dildos for use with the harness. Equip these in the clothing accessories menu.
NEW TOY: Realistic and bumpy double ended dildos.
NEW TOY: Realistic penis dildo.
NEW Bonus Asstronaut Item: Realistic penis dildo with balls.
NEW Experimental Asstronaut Item: Anal beads.
NEW: Two new built in scenes.
NEW: Three new character presets.
CHANGED: Long bendy dildo is renamed to "Double Dildo - Smooth" and no longer locked to Asstronaut tier.
NEW: Basic thrusting and BJ animations (6 variations of each).
IMPROVED: Clothing items are now sorted in alphabetical order.
IMPROVED: Eye moisture material.
IMPROVED: Optimised mouth physical animation performance.
FIXED: The Oculus stuttering issue should be fixed for everyone, nearly all users that tested 0.5.1 reported a dramatic improvement in performance.
FIXED: Issue with hair going black when shadows were set to Potato.
FIXED: Lip lower depth morph now working.
FIXED: Distortion/skinning issues with all panties around the groin area.
FIXED: Small issue with bunny ears material.
Notes:
- I don't expect this to be a problem for many users but it's possible to max out your GPU memory by loading too many textures. This will only happen if you import a lot of textures or your GPU does not have much memory to begin with. This can cause character and level textures to appear blurry. You can fix it by restarting the game and loading less textures into a scene at once. 4GB+ GPU memory is recommended to make use of this feature.
- While testing I noticed an issue with the new thrusting and BJ animations at the last minute - when the character is rotated the animations still play at the original rotation. This means rotating a character 90 degrees causes them to move their head or hip side to side instead of back and forth. I'll try and fix this in the next build.

You rock! I wish I had a pc because that 0.7 build is fucking tasty my man! Looking forward to the quest version, you deserve more money

2020-09-13 13:29:51 +0000 UTCThank you! Now that 0.7 is finished I'm going to get a Quest update out ASAP

2020-09-13 11:48:51 +0000 UTCYes, you can import and daz gen 3 or 8 textures or edit your own

2020-09-13 11:43:37 +0000 UTCOn the Quest? Turning off IK will disable posing so this is expected. I'll check though, not sure exactly what's going on here.

2020-09-13 11:42:47 +0000 UTCAntizero, I love you, you are my hero! I've always wanted to get into game design, especially vr games like this! Also I'm a Quest user, with no gaming pc to link to, so the quest version of this game is a godsend! Any idea at all when quest should expect an update? Love your stuff keep up the good work!

2020-09-12 13:46:11 +0000 UTCcan i edit my own skin texture ?
2020-09-10 19:31:37 +0000 UTCOn oculus Version i noticed i cant rotate the Body after I moved the body or tried the IK checkbox. I have to re-add the Character / Model to do so.
2020-09-08 15:55:55 +0000 UTCIt's not ideal but you can move up and down using the R and F keys on your keyboard. I'll add a UI for this at some point.

2020-09-07 12:22:26 +0000 UTCHeyo. I've noticed with WMR headsets, that if boundaries aren't assigned / you're sitting, that the headset movement in space isn't tracked, just the camera angle. Is there a way you could add a simple Z axis up and down button for WMR controllers?

2020-09-01 12:52:12 +0000 UTCOnce you've installed a character to Daz you just need to find the folder where it keeps the textures and copy them over to the games TextureImport folder. Look in Documents\DAZ 3D\Studio\My Daz Connect Library\ or Documents\DAZ 3D\Studio\My Library\Runtime\Textures. You can also load a character into Daz and look at the surfaces tab, if you click the Base Colour image you'll see a menu which lists the currently loaded textures. Click on browse and it'll open a file browser where you can see which folder it's located.

2020-09-01 12:29:10 +0000 UTCOK thanks, I think using the same engine doesn't mean much because there's so many other variables. Each version of UE fixes and adds new bugs and it's unlikely two games use the same engine version, plugins and settings etc. Actually I just did some searching and found similar issues in other titles with various USB devices. It's possible this will be fixed when I upgrade the engine.

2020-09-01 11:02:18 +0000 UTCYeah more forceful options would be nice for sure
2020-08-29 19:33:16 +0000 UTCCould you link a tutorial or a good place to start of Daz texture importing? I keep googling Daz 3rd Gen textures and I just get forums of how people don’t know how to use it. Thanks!
2020-08-29 19:30:51 +0000 UTCThis! lmao
2020-08-29 16:11:11 +0000 UTCA Masturbation Animation Preset would be great to.
2020-08-25 05:02:18 +0000 UTCThank you for adding the Blowjob animations! Would love a new sound pack that has a bit more reaction to what we do to her, the aounds now are fine for sensual sex but sometimes I really wanna give it to her lol. Mabey make a toy called Screamer with its own audio? Gags too!

2020-08-24 17:27:14 +0000 UTCyes, it's working now. Had to whip out a debugger to figure out the cause though! Other games using the same engine don't have the issue (e.g. slaves of rome & wild life rpg; . but they did have issues with DPI awareness.) It's 100% reproducible on my end - if you're willing to share symbol files I can propose a fix (or at least identify the root cause)

2020-08-24 16:30:35 +0000 UTCI think this blue tooth thing is a rare engine bug, I've seen it a couple of times before. Is it working now?
AntiZero
2020-08-24 13:37:26 +0000 UTCThank you, more hair styles will definitely be added in a future update and I'm hoping to put it on Steam when it's ready :)
AntiZero
2020-08-24 13:31:14 +0000 UTCcrashes on start - WinRT The requested attribute was not found; fixed by deleting the title movies from FluidGame\Content\Movies\ (might not lead to a crash, but it is an exception thrown during startup) Access Violation in audio thread - caused by having a blue tooth headset turned on (specifically a Bose QuietComfort 2).

2020-08-23 15:25:48 +0000 UTCI'll update the Quest as soon as I can, some of the new features I'm working on are taking longer due to a required engine upgrade. Thank you for being patient :)
AntiZero
2020-08-22 16:01:38 +0000 UTCI have a Mac, any news on Oculus Quest stand alone updates?

2020-08-12 09:42:51 +0000 UTCThis is only a beginning of a new Adult content era, we are right at the start of it all, just imagine where this industry is going to be in 400 years.
2020-08-12 09:19:54 +0000 UTCThanks for the work that been put into this, its a great sim, just some future suggestions, ability to delete recorded movements, better transitions from the start and end of joint movement recordings like a smoothing of potitions to reduce the jolts u get, more voices, ability to save positions, ill be back for future builds but keep up the great work!
