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 on hexbear cause i forgot to put it on lemmygrad lol. 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

I'm not really into Vtube stuff, but I like rigging and face tracking, and this is very cool!

[–] lelkins@lemmygrad.ml 3 points 1 month ago

thank you! i don't watch vtubers but i was really interested in the tech.

the first well known comemrcial product for face tracked avatars, facerig, is made in romania. not kidding, the company is made in bucharest

How does it know which expression to make?

[–] lelkins@lemmygrad.ml 4 points 1 month ago

it'd be a toggle, i added those in case i want to add a toggle in a vtuber setup thingy. some vtuber streamers use toggleable things like changes to eyes for scared expressions

Every day that goes by without the Deprogram trinity getting Vtuber avatars is another blow to my faith in humanity.

I would like to beg your pardon

Also to sorta explain It. Tried contacting Yugo, he didn't really answer. I successfully contacted Hakim but he said he's too busy but is super thankful. Haven't gotten back to them since.

i mean, it's pretty interesting. a communist vtuber in a sea of "based" vtubers would be a breath of fresh air

[–] lelkins@lemmygrad.ml 2 points 1 month ago

i just make this stuff cause i find it comforting. i like making nice looking stuff.

i don't think i'll ever stream anyway but thanks
