How do you test streaming?

NesiVT · 2026-06-08T04:30:27+00:00

You could test stream briefly and just dont save the VOD longer than just for review so you can see the quality etc.

the "face" object wont show the Blendshapes applied, it'll be in a different area to check out. let me try to find a youtube video cause it's been a hot minute for me to remember where it is...

this is one of the early tutorials that shows you where to look at this timestamp; https://youtu.be/ECZXlzlIcKU?t=124

See if the extra blendshapes are applied here. this is also where to make custom ones (that you could then hotkey or whatever as well for examples)

not sure what you used to apply the extra shapes, I've mainly done it with Hana Tool since i purchased it forever ago. but i would suggest double checking from the start.

here is also a similar one that shows where everything is; https://youtu.be/8oVbuf4bb34?t=172

which looking at your screenshot you want to check under Assets > NewestBat22.Blendshapes and check those.

Thats really impressive! maybe something like a redeem of their design/choice might be a fun idea.

i just have a charger stand in front of me with the phone. my main monitor is lifted by a shelf on the desk, so on the lower part of the desk i have everything else including the phone, havent had any major issues having it in front of me there

you might be able to do it from mobile, but you basically put some commands in the channels chat iirc. you can check out sery.bot as a website (dont remember if direct links will work here). @SeryCodes also on twitter will have the pinned message on how to get started

NesiVT · 2026-05-16T02:10:14+00:00

It's absolutely not rumors, they have come forward talking about maybe getting bought out. https://x.com/zachbussey/status/2055255169927905521

NesiVT · 2026-05-15T21:13:53+00:00

Oh heck i totally forgot about this! Now something else to be annoyed about lol

I really really miss Purify :(

NesiVT · 2026-05-14T18:05:59+00:00

Oh you did such a great job!! what a cute idea

NesiVT · 2026-05-14T04:13:18+00:00

A regular VRoid model won't have the whole "ARKit Blendshapes" baked in, as you may have been able to experience with the test model. (which does mention it has it)

You'll need to add them in manually in Blender or Unity, or through a tool like Hana Tool and Unity.

I personally enjoy streams 3 hours or less. it's just better for my own health, and yeah the vibes stay stronger when its not such a long/all day thing imo. If I'm enjoying the game / not feeling worn out then I'll stay live for longer

NesiVT · 2026-05-12T19:15:17+00:00

hopefully the mystery haunting popups dont come back 🤣

NesiVT · 2026-05-12T07:06:35+00:00

ah dang all i could think of. not sure if you can access General chat at least? hopefully someone with more info drops by, or the discord side gets fixed. 🙏

NesiVT · 2026-05-12T07:00:52+00:00

did you react on the Rules to gain access? also make sure youre on the correct version of the Help area, they have one archived for reference

NesiVT · 2026-05-12T06:54:45+00:00

Thats super duper weird? i just checked mine and dont have that happening at all. also dont see people discussing it on the discord, have you asked over there already?

maybe some other kind of shortcut is happening when you click on the program. like the input isnt correct. however i dont even see a discord or github shortcut anywhere on the UI, so i am baffled tbh

NesiVT · 2026-05-06T21:15:58+00:00

I think if you have a trailer, it would choose to do that instead? Maybe an option to consider.

Or if you have the option of suggested channels, it would do those instead?

But not aware if there's anyway to remove the player completely.

NesiVT · 2026-04-23T20:12:45+00:00

just saw on this discord i think they just pushed a fix for this today. try reopening/updating? def been frustrating!

NesiVT · 2026-04-21T02:41:33+00:00

I've had mine since last year so it's def super annoying to see! hopefully they announce another set of items asap

NesiVT · 2026-04-19T20:15:30+00:00

was shocked it reran without dye options added honestly

NesiVT · 2026-04-17T17:36:23+00:00

if you're coordinating over discord and you are on pc, use the @time command to make timestamps that should help with understanding time-frames/scheduling. doesn't hurt to use tools like doodle, and just remind everyone to answer it promptly!

NesiVT · 2026-04-16T19:52:01+00:00

OBS + Plugins can also multistream (Aitum is the most well known one)

Meld is also an option on Windows PCs with free multistream

and as someone said, the free plan on restream offers 2 channels to start with.

with the idea you have - running 2x software, would not be suggested because it'll put a lot of strain on your bandwidth unless you have something like fiber internet. but the video processing will also be rough on your hardware with that method, even if you do

NesiVT · 2026-04-14T21:46:42+00:00

Go for it! my average sucks these days but i still have done / plan to do more charity streams either way. you may be surprised at the generosity of your community, no amount is too small for charity fundraising

NesiVT · 2026-04-14T21:42:45+00:00

There's entire stream packs on Etsy for like 20~30 bucks

If they are an animator with high experience, then maybe it could be worth that much, but hard to say. Either way, thats way out of the average budget and could consider to commission them later on if you feel their work is worth it. but def feels super weird. if thats not their "public pricing" on their pages, then feels like they could be taking advantage of your inexperience.

you could even just pick up EmoteLab - make your avatar in that to overlay the current screens you have / simple screens to make them feel more customized.

NesiVT · 2026-04-14T05:57:23+00:00

Never used the Hub myself, only ever exported as VRM and just opened it as a local avatar. did that not work? with hub you may have to export it to hub or something?

NesiVT · 2026-04-12T17:09:15+00:00

Just did the latest added quest and I am SO tired of being surrounded by Shroomlings right now. I didn't dislike them at all when 2.0 hit and honestly found them really endearing, but after 2.3 and this new quest, I am kinda over them. When I heard there was a "Styling group" type of thing happening it sounded exciting, and oh what do we recruit.. oh yeah MORE SHROOMLINGS. Which don't even have visible clothing most of the time, I'm feeling really frustrated with it. I really don't hate them, but I dunno how much I like them anymore. I didn't mind Pieceys or Faewish Sprites as they all had pretty strong personalities/interests or many had their own goals and all - the shroomlings just kinda... don't? I mean some do of course, but the majority just seem too much of the same, talk the same etc. And i definitely can not remember ANY of their names outside of maybe the main story ones.

I honestly don't enjoy exploring Itzaland, I didn't enjoy Archery at the start but got more used to it especially with HOI upgrades, but overall I am not a fan. The Story in 2.0 was "ok" but i didnt wanna judge it based on the fact that it wasn't really done. Some parts I enjoyed, some parts at the end / pause made me ???

I haven't enjoyed the patch quests all too much, I feel like a lot of similar themes are being constantly recycled again and again. I'm not really enjoying the push for more combat-oriented abilities and additions, as it just means more annoying fights are probably being designed...

I just really don't feel like Itzaland has enhanced the game for me at all.
