👀 SMALLER UPDATE This method also allows you to add more options later! Forgot to mention that it future proofs for any content updates. Maybe this can also be used for those who do texture repaints? I have not dabbled in that, so if anyone who does wants to chime in let me know! #live2d

UPDATE! A small example of how to set up customizer sliders. For this hair slider: Each hair type is set to an independent on/off switch (blend shape param) Default 1 = "on" and a limit is set on the slider. The slider has a max of 9 and a min of 0. One whole number per limit is needed. #live2d

Worked through some hair testing 👀 I am now able to add more hair tip styles other than wavy and straight. Working on how to implement split hair color… and a few more hair options that will stay secret for now. Ideally the hair will be mix and match like the clothing ~

Realized that I'm halfway through my sketchbook, so I took some time to look back at my drafts. 🫣 So many unused ideas that gave me some much-needed inspo.

Took a bit of time and thinking, but I think I was able to make a "leg floating" toggle. So the model looks like it's slightly floating. If I'm honest, I'm procrastinating rigging hands TuT I sketched out some props to add. Let's see ~

I redid the tail physics and it got SO SMOOTH. 😭🙌 I have been ignoring some of the more extensive tools like “skinning deformers” And yet they are the MOST HELPFUL ✨ Just fyi for any other newbies who have been scared of all the extra tools, TRY THEM. #live2dcubism #live2d

I need to fix some draw order issues but one step at a time ~ I keep reminding myself that it's a project meant to LEARN. I do plan to sell it as an affordable model. (definitely under $100) It would be nice to have a lil army of my monster chibis out there <3 #vtubemodel #live2d #wipupdate

vtube models really are a "trust the process" type of project... 🫠 Every time I finish a good chunk, I look back at the in-between parts where things start to look awkward, and I remind myself that this isn't meant to be done in one night. Wavy hair is now rigged ^^;

I think I figured out what I wanted to do with the hair... Figuring out what I need for the forehead is a completely different story LOL BUT Hair length and fringe on/off has been added! Working on earrings and glasses next! #live2d #vtubemodel #wipupdate

Every time I think I figured out how to do the thing I want to do with hair, it breaks. I may need to just accept my fate and work within my limits until my last two brain cells decide to work together for once. LMAO Not giving up, just giving a break. 😌

🫣 Pants/Shorts/ AND JORTS! I had to include them; how could I not? 🤩 Pant rips are optional~ Debating if I should include my personal logo on the shirt or go for something funny...

Making it a point that I would like to take on more vtube comms once I finish this model. :) I'm having too much fun with the program and would love some more practice. Especially if you have any unique ideas for movement! #live2d #vtubemodel #commissionsupdate

👀 <3 update time! I've been stuck on hair so I skipped over to clothing That way I can finish up the lower half of the body. (shoes/feet) Sneak peak at a few of the finished add-ons! 🦇😈 #live2d #vtuber #vtubemodel #wipupdate

Arm rigging is hard, but I will push through. I want to do a few different arm position toggles. I have a microphone already rendered. 👀 controller is next. Then maybe a pen and a coffee cup? An overwhelming thank you to all the artists who have made tutorials! #vtube #live2d

Hehehe I rigged some horns 😈 … next is the halo 😇 I might even be able to start the torso tomorrow if I finish the rest of the base head parts 💃🙌 I want to add a few built in arm toggles. Like practicing rigging controller inputs. And eventually hand tracking! 👁️👁️

Ideally, I'll work my way up to mimicking better 3D visuals in L2d... I love 3d models, but I also love the process in L2d. It just makes more sense in my lil bat brain LOL 🦇 For now, I need some time to think through how to break down hair parts specifically for better customization👀;;

^^ finished up the angle rigging for ears... so far I have 2 NON HUMAN ears in addition to the standard round. Thinking of adding a few animal ears as well <3😻 Ear & Brow phys are 40% tied to eye and mouth movement (check comments for elf ear example) #live2d #vtuber #update

<3 Finished the rendering on the face parts so I was able to jump start the rigging on it. Used the customization sliders to try and get my sona as an example👀 I feel like it looks way softer and I can't stop staring at the bouncy lash extensions <333 #vtuber #live2d #faceangles #update

Figured out how to separate the saturation/hue/luminosity sliders ;u; thankfully it's not super hard. But there is a small concern about them getting in the way later for rigging... I'll cross that road when I get to it LOL

AB- $100 (*please note that AB will include one bust art fully rendered. This is will not be made until an AB offer is made.) ~~~~ #furryadoptable #sheep #furryart #adoptable #horns

I have been working on this one for a bit and decided it was time to be happy with her as a final piece. I might go in and clean up the wings …eventually.. but for now enjoy this portrait✨ Twilight Sparkle Royal Portrait ~~~~~ #mlp #twilightsparkle #fanart #furryart #alicorn

Ok I have some extra clothing options rendered, working on making sure they are all able to mix and match. I added a few fall/cold weather options so it can be used across the whole year.... I need to eventually draw the hand options. I'm REALLY considering circles for hands like a comic LOL

😮‍💨 ok finally finished messing around with parameters and all that fun live2d stuff. I have a better idea of what kind of rendering is needed specifically for a customizable model ==>now I can hunker down on finishing the art 🙌👏

Planning to go back and redo the way I made the skin tone sliders... I fear I did it the hard way. And now it's only made things harder when layering and clipping the color adjustments. BUT I keep reminding myself that this project is for me to learn from mistakes and make better habits. 😇

👁️👁️ LITTLE BY LITTLE IT'S ALL COMING TOGETHER ~ Had to redo the color sliders because vtube studio doesn't support a LOT of the blend types in live2d Hopefully we get a major update soon ^^; #live2d #chibi #vtubemodel

🧍‍♀️ gave myself a migraine from too much screen time yesterday. Reminder to everyone (especially those with special eyes) please remember to take screen breaks! Buuuut the down time gave me some space to think through live2d toggles. The space actually worked in my favor 🤓

😌 spending today looking at cute summer outfits I love the bikini top but i want a cuter shirt idea to swap it for

and again I say IT'S HARD but mouth rigging is starting to make more sense, especially when it comes to how to cut the parts so it works better for rigging :3 #live2d #live2drigging

LMAOOOO I sent this gif to a friend for their opinion and now they can’t stop making bald jokes 😭 my poor model is bald I get it. But I can’t decide what hair style to rig first Am I the only one who thinks bald models are cute ?!

🥰 mouth is done, head and body xyz are done, skin color AND tone sliders DONE, and a body shape slider 🤧 got the groundwork laid out so I can add in new clothing/eye/hair sets later I want to have at least the shirt rigged before I do another visual check in… cause booba jiggle #live2d

I wanted to play around with extended xy angles That was a mistake 😵‍💫… I need way more time practicing regular xy angles. Props to all the rig artists who can do it. My brain is fried trying to figure out EARS 🤧
