this is that mage girl oc i drew a few months ago. her name is meldora and i have the drawings posted some time ago. i hope the webm worked. had to compress it so hard because of lemmygrad's file size limit of about 1mb or less, i can't even tell exactly because this is 821.7kbs. this shows that i can use it for vtuber-ing, but i do not have the proper stuff for it lol
this was first made in one week. drawing took two days, the other days were for rigging. i was sick at work at the time so i felt like making that. i do not plan to stream or anything because of privacy and shit but i do edit some bangers for my friends
software used: krita for the drawing, inochi2d for the rigging. i used openseeface to track my face but it's not really good due to my very bad webcam. kinda chugs my rig too.
hair physics were added too. also tongue and like two emotes
here are some screenshots of a few facial expressions
that is the big post i wanted to make. thank you lmao
thank you!!
also about the layers stuff, yea! you actually got that right
each part is a separate layer and they are all sandwiched together and warped by inochi2d. other vtubers use live2d which works roughly the same way, but inochi is foss and fully free to use
the animation works by tracking your face with either openseeface, vtuber studio or whatever thing you have around. leapmotion apparently is a thing but come on i am not made of money. yes, this is a fully functional vtuber avatar
