Items for modules or options that are not installed are omitted automatically.

Manual Mode​

Turn Auto Mode off and set Sweat % directly from 0–100%. Manual Mode is useful for photos, before-and-after comparisons, and scenes that need a fixed sweat level.

Manual and Auto Mode do not keep separate values. Turning Auto Mode off preserves the current Sweat % as the manual value. Turning it on again continues from that value instead of resetting the gauge.

Auto Mode​

Auto Mode is on by default after installation. It detects physical body movement: more movement builds Sweat % faster, and Sweat % gradually falls after movement stops.

Tracked motion such as dancing, squats, exercise-ball movement, and torso sway can drive the sensor. WASD locomotion and jumping are intentionally excluded, including a short settling delay after locomotion, so simply moving through a world does not make the avatar sweat.

  • Auto Mode Sensitivity controls how strongly movement is interpreted.
  • The Custom Accumulation Speed Curve changes the build rate across the Sweat % range.
  • Both settings contribute to Auto Mode.

The default sensitivity preset is Balanced.

Auto Mode requires a Humanoid avatar with the expected Modular Avatar bone setup. Non-humanoid avatars and avatars without the required bone reference can use Manual Mode.

Sweat Display versus Sweat 0%​

  • Sweat Display on + Sweat 0%: the system remains ready, and Auto Mode can begin building sweat from zero.
  • Sweat Display off: the complete sweat presentation is disabled.

Use Sweat Display at 0% when you want the avatar to begin dry and get wetter naturally after movement starts.

Quick behavior check​

  1. Enable Sweat Display.
  2. Turn the default Auto Mode off temporarily and inspect 0%, 25%, 50%, 75%, and 100%.
  3. Enable Auto Mode and move the avatar.
  4. Stop moving and confirm that the value falls gradually.
  5. Confirm there are no abrupt visual jumps while crossing the range.
