   guess i'll set my current to-do project a new vtuber model
   
   gonna be a pain, but i got nothing better to do with my time
   
   the thing i'm confused about is how others add shading and details to the artmeshes without it turning janky

     @ninja8tyu I got done with my schedule for the next couple months. I am planning on learning Live2d to do my first 2d model, I am however planning on animating a full head turnaround and mawarikomi shot to get confidence and spacial skill to conceptualize what I want.
     How does animation blend into Live2d if any does?

     @ninja8tyu Also, since you have some experience in this what kind of resources would really help out for a beginner like me. The most I've done is open up the program to renew the online license.

     man, if i want my re-re-debut to be an actual thing with full effort, i guess i should do all of these
     
     i do have a song with lyrics as a wip on my desktop, but i forgot how the rhythm of it goes, and i don't want to sing
     
     and i guess i should design a more serious stream layout as well... maybe a cave-like frame for the panels and stuff
     
     i can do a simple powerpoint slide for my reredebut and do the usual hobbies and introductions shebang
     
     a simple showcase of my model shouldn't be too hard either, i can compare my old models compared to my new one

     :cirno_facepalm: fuckin' hell i just visualized how the hair's gonna turn in 3d and i'm gonna have a headache dealing with the horizontal movement
     
     i don't design my characters thinking about how geometrically consistent they are in euclidean space, i just fuck with the hair and see what looks unique and cool

     all the side profiles just extend the back hair because i'm concerned about maintaining the front hair profile than i am about consistent 3d space
     
     eughhhhh....

     seems like having a nude model underneath your outfit will make it more easier to rig future outfit variations
     
     so i guess i shall do that when i wake up

     i'm done with the full body sketch
     
     usually i'd just cut it below the waist and call it a day, but i may as well turn this into a good model
     
     that being said, i'm going to draw the parts tomorrow, because it's already been tedious getting all the stuff looking properly shaped for the artmeshes and eventual parameter and deformer riggings

     hate how much time i've spent on just this already, but i'm probably going to hate the hands too
     
     and he still looks like a girl
     
     cute is good, but that's not exclusive to females

     i thought about making a nude version of this model for easy outfit changes
     
     but then i remembered that people usually just make a new body for that shit
     
     would be funny if i had a nude toggle, but i'd rather not risk it

     compared to my model, i just used the official live2d template to make everything, and gung-ho'd it
     
     now that i have a general visualization on how to separate my artmeshes, i can probably have an easier time figuring out how to animate the entire thing

     watching this video makes me miserable
     
     not because it's difficult to understand or anything
     
     but because i know just how much time is going to be burned in this...

     when it comes to the hiyori model (neuro's og model), it seems like some of the shading and details are kinda sharp if you pay attention to it, but it's subtle enough and covered by things so it doesn't matter too much
     
     seems like the collarbone to shoulder movement areas are separated from the main body for movement
     
     the jaw also moves slightly when the mouth moves as well, which is a nice detail
     
     seems like shading is used very sparingly and the artmeshes (textures, the actual art) aren't typically shaded, aside from the clothing and stuff that don't move as much (unless you wanted to go the extra mile)
     
     the hair textures seem to be generally separated by front-side-back (+ponytails/misc hair), layered from top to bottom side-front-back
     
     this isn't the most high quality model, but it's better than anything of mine

     @ninja8tyu I brought one of the moving backgrounds on booth. I remember a year ago Delu mentioned a artist, got to check when I get back to the PC.
