figured out what the deal was with the weird contortions seems like: 1) thrown props put the avatar into ragdoll mode 2) ragdoll mode causes wonky movements if any ragdoll colliders overlap 3) the default-generated ragdoll colliders tend not to be perfect just needed to adjust the colliders

thanks everyone for coming to see my 3d debut! for those who couldn't make it, i'll cut together a short youtube video from the debut later but for now, here's what it looks like! the normal version, the chibi version, and the transition between them (which I'm very proud of!)

I've gotta draw more! And learn blender! and do game dev! And read! And take multiple long walks everyday! As well as fit that all within my free time hours when not doing my job! I need to be put in the hyperbolic hobby chamber!!!!!!!

At long last! I'll be debuting my 3D model! Saturday June 7th at 6pm EST/3pm PST, at twitch.tv/renpona! I'll show off the new model and some of the neat stuff I've done with it! I haven't been very active lately, but hopefully that's going to change! #vtuber #vtuberdebut #ENvtuber #warudo

hell yeah, got a game-to-avatar interactivity ready for debut

let's see how much more crap i can set up before 3d debut day

I remade the Super Mario 64 title screen as a stream overlay. I used my vtuber for the floating head, and simulated chat stretching my face and poking me.

3D vtuber technology has awoken something inside me.

NEW VIDEO OUT! Did you know how bizarre the Sonic comics are? Well, I made an entire video about this strange and weird series! All likes, shares, and reposts are appreciated! Edit: By me! And clean-up by @clawmaster.bsky.social Thumbnail: @pkdraws40.bsky.social Video: youtu.be/SvajpFK8Q9Y?...

VTuber Zipper Technology

i was taking recordings for a 3d debut trailer and saw a couple small things that annoyed me so i went back in one more time to do some tweaking, and that was like six hours ago and I'm still poking at shit and why is it dark out now, where did the time go

it's tempting to be clever with something you're making for other people but i guarantee that if they want to tinker with it even a little, they will hate it so think carefully whether the cleverness is really worth it ⬆⬆⬆⬆⬆⬆⬆ advice I have never followed in my entire life and probably never will

always kinda surprised seeing people still using VSeeFace in this day and age

Ah yes, @notsophatmatt.bsky.social solved the IMU drift with Stay Aligned System. Send tweet. 0.16.0 will be turning point for any SlimeVR-based imu devices. ⁉️🐱 More in weekly update~~

PICROSS AS COMBAT SYSTEM THIS IS NOT A DRILL I REPEAT PICROSS AS COMBAT SYSTEM

My new plugin Birb Mic is out! Do you want to have way to detect your microphone and send it directly to vtubestudio as tracking parameters? A second microphone? an asmr microphone? A virtual cable? All is possible! With support for parameters for left and right channels!

it's so, so nice to be fucking around with shader effects and animations again instead of rigging problems

the thing i've been stuck on for like two straight weeks is finally fixed now off to fix the next problem (the physbones don't work, Warudo autoconverter doesn't seem to be handling them) but i don't feel like actually fixing it, so I'm just gonna tear 'em off and learn Magica Cloth 2 instead

it got worse

hmm. after testing a few different setups, it seems like the bones themselves are acting wonky WHY ARE THE BONES ACTING WONKY well, i've got some theories. but it's too damn late at night. again

does pumkin's avatar tools not work on warudo's unity version??????? guess i'm copy-pasting each and every one of these physbones and constraints individually then

Make sure your RPG battle transitions, scene composition, and attack animations are at least as cool as this Taiwanese DOS RPG from 1995

Here it is, EVERY physical mocap device a VTuber can get their hands on from cheapest to the most expensive mocap system money can buy. Please share to everyone to help them understand what options 3D VTubers have for mocap. VTuber Mocap Device List: docs.google.com/document/d/1...

what vtuber software is the best? there is no single best. figure out what kinds of things are important to you, and pick the one that's best at those things this is an intensely indie space. each program has its own style, flavor, & features. up to you to pick which one best fits your inner freak

#VNyan 1.6 is a major 2025 milestone release of the app. It introduces Unity 2022 upgrade with support to Magica Cloth 2 and Lattice Modifier. The update also brings lots of QoL features to Node Graphs including grouping of nodes The update is on itch as usual #VTuber #envtuber

VNyan 1.6 came with a ton of new functionality for the Node Graph that I am super proud of, so here's a quick little thread to showcase them all: (1/7) #VNyan Graph Update: Alternate nav controls! We've now got UI buttons for zoom, and Holding Tab while dragging pans the workspace

good news: all the parts of my avatar that I changed are working splendidly bad news: all of the parts of my avatar that I DIDN'T change are no longer working sigh time to sleep

relatively simple effects can make a surprisingly big impact, especially when made interactive somehow
