Poll: Naturalis Next Features
Let's start this month with a poll! Your views matter to me.
With Naturalis v1.0 done, the way is clear for new features to be implemented, and to help me decide what to work on next, I want to ask you!
What features would you like to see most?
Try to pick 2-5 of the most important options to you
The poll ends on 6 pm GMT on Tuesday, 9 May.
The poll takes inspiration mostly from previous roadmap posts, and adds a few new items. Some of the older ideas date back well over a year, and I'm a bit sad about having announced many things that I didn't prioritize to get done in a reasonable time span. But at the same time, I'm pretty optimistic about the future of Naturalis.
I won't go into much detail on each item here - simply select the options that you feel are important based on these descriptions.
The results of the poll won't directly dictate my next steps, but will have a heavy influence on v1.1 and later versions!

soft, saggy hangers. you know, the "cue ball in a sock" kind of look.
Is it possible to have have multiple states? Maybe with a keyword system that users can edit? So things like a bra will push up/flatten and reduce physics, but a sports bra/spandex will flatten and reduce. But a loose tshirt/cut off will still not have support?
Absolutely. Whether the settings are automatically determined (somehow, needs investigation) or user-defined, there's no reason it wouldn't be possible to have different settings for different clothing items. How it will work is to be determined but in principle it's just a matter of either calculating the settings on the fly or storing the settings so they can be loaded automatically when the clothing item is enabled the next time. A keyword system is probably not how it will work, that sounds like it'd require everyone to tag every clothing item independently. But we'll see once I get to developing it!
Improved clothing interactions would be amazing but I have a feeling that it would be pretty difficult to implement. I would love to finally just put on some clothes on models without having to spend a lot of time messing with the settings to make things look alright.
The number one thing with the "Clothing support" item is just to adapt physics parameters and morphs to the clothing item being equipped versus not, in a way that's compatible with the rest of the plugin (gravity physics, directional morphing etc). To get that right and to make it work as automatically and optimally as possible, while still offering options for customization, that's going to take some work - but it's not really a difficult task. It also doesn't actually involve any improvements specific to the interaction between the clothing and the body - it's just about putting the physics and morphs to a different "state" when the clothing is equipped vs when not.
if you can get the first one to work it be insane and really nice
As the resident XL boobs user, yes that's certainly my vote! :P
Cumming effect, I guess? The cumming effect in vam looks poor.
Can you explain how this relates to Naturalis specifically, or is this just a general idea of what could be improved in VAM?
