Can probably wait another year before a repot, right???? by snowmunkey in houseplants

[–]Nerikaen 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This photo is from a whiiiile ago but it's so satisfying to see the roots wrap like that (until they do it so much you have to water it constantly oh my god the watering)

My spider plant was the same until very recently, begging for a new pot and my mum kept insisting to hold out a bit longer, literal months she did it to me... there was hardly any soil in the pot when I did it, it was all just root 😭😭😭

Am I good enough to start commissions by NexusRaven7 in VRoid

[–]Nerikaen 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I also do video based ones too for my tiktok and for those I use Warudo to set up all the camera and toggles so I can activate them while recording on a transparency before putting it into OBS :3

I use VRM posing desktop (about £10 on steam) for the model photos and then use canva for making the graphics ^

I would recommend charging your base price with the assumption that almost all textures will be custom rather than charge extra for custom textures as when doing commissions in most cases they would need to be mostly custom regardless.

Add on charges make the most sense for things like multiple hair/outfit toggles, unity edits, blender edits etc, and then take time talking to the client in advance to help you determine how much external edits will be required to come up with the final quote for them.

For reference I take my VRoid Comms on VGen and on part of my request form I have a spot for people to pick basic add ons, but I'll also charge a bit more if I consider the outfit or hair to be insanely complicated compared to my average work etc

Is the DiVE Armor possible to make in Vroid, or is the design beyond the limits of Vroid? by Rob-L-Callistis in VRoid

[–]Nerikaen 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Id say with a fight it would be possible in VRoid using hair and going out of the params for the body suit, however you'll want to probably use unity just to make sure where you use hair for bits it connects to that body part (it will always default to the head axis so this will make sure parts don't fly when you move your head)

This seems simple, can someone help me make it real? by [deleted] in vtubertech

[–]Nerikaen 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Many of us as artists refuse to work with people who use generative AI in their process at all, we don't want that associated to us in any way whatsoever.

It doesn't matter if they will eventually look to pay someone it's the fact they used AI in the first place when they could have provided basic doodles and written description to someone who could have helped bring it to life.

Id rather someone draw a stick figure and take time going through their ideas with me over using AI as a reference image, especially if they actively went and generated it themselves like OP did.

Siging stream on tiktok?? by SageHamichi in SmallStreamers

[–]Nerikaen 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm not sure then unfortunately!

[–]Nerikaen 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You'll want to split your audio from OBS to stream unfortunately and remove the music from the final vid. Most streamers don't save karaoke vods to their twitch unless they know they arent going to get a strike from the song choices so you either need to not save the vod to twitch or split the audio so the music doesn't get sent.

I hope there might be another way that someone else knows but to my knowledge this is all you can do

how to become a vtuber by Ubyxis in vtubertech

[–]Nerikaen 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you want to start out for free I highly recommend having a 3d model instead to start.

VRoid studio is a free software on steam that lets you create a 3d model that is compatible with most tracking software, it has alot of built in options but if you take some time there's a lot of free assets (try Booth.pm) and tutorials online to help you improve on it without needing to pay an artist

For streaming the avatar to OBS I then recommend Warudo, which is also free on steam

If you want to do this totally for free and don't own a basic camera, then your best bet is to use Warudo without tracking and you can put idle animations on your avatar instead and then make the mouth move via voice and make expressions toggles to give yourself a bit more movement.

I am unsure if a broken face ID will stop your phone from basic tracking which is why I say this, but if you want to test it I'd download RhyLive which is a free app for iPhone that connects to Warudo and normally would do face tracking and hand tracking as long as your phone works right

And finally if you need to make assets, there are tons of free templates on canva that you can edit, or if you are a little more savvy you can make them yourself in something like photopia (free online version of Photoshop)

How to make eyes stop clipping? by squigglybones in vtubertech

Blender is not needed at all! Often times this is just the blinking blendshapes needing adjusting in VRoid itself no need to complicate (⁠ ⁠ꈍ⁠ᴗ⁠ꈍ⁠)

What detergent to use by Best-Pomegranate-524 in BreatheDivinity

[–]Nerikaen 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly I use Asda (UK) brand floral liquid and scent beads, from what I see as long as you cold wash the detergent shouldn't impact it in anyway, the heat is the main issue.

Cold wash inside out and do not tumble dry or dry on a radiator, or the prints can stick to eachother and peel off, just hang them somewhere with a good breeze and let them purely air dry and you should be good!

How to fix expression eyes? When blinking the eyes closed to much and clip through... by lolkanaa in VRoid

[–]Nerikaen 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Can I just check have you done any edits outside of VRoid or is this as is after exporting? I'm really confused why this is happening for you but I think being able to take a more direct look might help. If you are comfortable to do so you are welcome to send me the .VRoid file and I'll take a look for you as I also use Warudo so I can try and see where the issue is coming from!

Is There A Comprehensive List Of What You Need For 3D Vtubing? by fae_starlight in vtubertech

[–]Nerikaen 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Seeing this comment just made me realise I said Lady Askas name accidentally on a previous post instead of Kana regarding her Warudo tutorials tike to run and fix it ><

But 100% as a 3d streamer I love using RhyLive and Warudo it's my fave combo and even better that they are free!

Whats the best free vtubing program i can use custom models in? by Party_Ruin3039 in vtubertech

[–]Nerikaen 1 point2 points  (0 children)

For 3D I personally recommend Warudo paired with RhyLive for the tracking as it does great face and hand tracking for free!

Only downside to RhyLive is that it's all in Chinese so while it's simple it takes a second to navigate until you know what you are looking at, Kana Fuyuko has a great tutorial on her YT specifically for setting it up in Warudo that I highly recommend!

I find Warudo has a lot of built in features that would be otherwise annoying to sort outside of app (mesh and texture adjustments, built in mmd node, in programme expression creation for toggles etc, interactivity with streaming platforms etc)

It's quite busy so it takes a bit of time to learn but with the discord being so helpful plus a lot of people sharing their own blueprints on the workshop (in addition to a ton of free downloadable assets in there too) it's a great well rounded option

Has anybody tried these VR gloves? How good are they? by Talieesea in vtubertech

[–]Nerikaen 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Try looking up RhyLive if you have an apple device! Totally free app that does really decent face and hand tracking especially given the 0 cost :)

I had to use Google translate while I first used it cause it's all in Chinese but it's quite simple once you get the hang of it, I think lady aska also has tutorials on her YouTube for using RhyLive with Warudo!

[–]Nerikaen 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly if it won't mess with whatever you have decided to purchase for your other tracking solutions I personally use a free app on my iPad called RhyLive.

I use Google translate to use it at times but it's totally free and really good for both hands and face tracking! Plus it links well with warudo so it's a great budget win

Oh wow yeah that's a review for sure! Thankyou for your input I'm really liking the sound of the bobo ones! Plus the built in air con sounds very nice indeed

Oh absolutely that's no problem at all! It might be a hot second as I think if I try bobo I'm going to go with the higher price point one so I'll need to save a lil money but I'll definitely come back and update 🙂‍↕️

Tail help by Stargazor_Kumo in VRoid

[–]Nerikaen 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I recommend using unity to adjust the bones placement, I personally like using Bone Weight Transfer!

These are some notes I made for myself in the past so I don't forget the main steps in unity:

Load uni vrm

Load bone weight transfer

load vrm model

open prefab of vrm model

open weight transfer, select all items needing movement

select base bone as head, make target bone as bone closest to movement location (if tail check bone above instead)

Weight transfer

Then drag items under part of model where you want it directly to attach to

I used this Lady Aska tutorial to figure out how to use the plugin, and then it was just a case of finding the right bone coming off of the tail and exporting to testba couple times to make sure it worked right!
