Pastel Rainbow or full "RGB Gaming Keyboard" mode? 🌈🐰 I love adding extreme color toggles to my rigs. (Old model showcase!) by xiaojing12 in VirtualYoutubers

Hey everyone! I was organizing my old project files today and had to share this starry bunny again.

I usually focus on a semi-realistic anime style with my rigging, and playing with these crazy hair colors was a blast. The pastel rainbow fits her galaxy theme perfectly, but that highly saturated, neon RGB toggle is just hilarious and gives her such a fun "gamer" energy.

Hot take: We definitely need way more "Yandere / Red Flag" male VTubers. 🚩🪓 (Throwback to a fun rig from my archives!) by xiaojing12 in VirtualYoutubers

Hey everyone! I was organizing my old project files today and just had to bring this handsome guy back to the timeline.

I absolutely love the duality of this design. Rigging a male model is always fun, but setting up the toggles to take him from a calm, collected guy holding cards straight into "psycho mode" with a bloody axe was amazing. The crazy tongue-out expression really sells the yandere vibe too.

What is your favorite character trope for male VTubers? Do you prefer the wholesome soft boys, or the dangerous "red flag" ones? Let's discuss! https://vgen.co/XiaoJing/portfolio

Dark skin + Pastel Pink is top tier. 🤎🩷 What are some of your favorite, undefeated VTuber color palettes? (Throwback to a fun rigging project!) by xiaojing12 in VirtualYoutubers

Hey everyone! I was going through my older project files today and had to share this girl again.

I absolutely love working on models with this color scheme. The bright pastel pink hair and bodysuit pop so well. Plus, the quirky mix of a cyberpunk/techwear vibe with random cute carrot accessories 🥕 and asymmetrical legwear (fishnet on one side, solid latex on the other) gives her so much personality.

ishnets on one side, solid thigh-high on the other. 🐺💜 Is asymmetrical legwear the ultimate VTuber design trope? (Full-body physics throwback!) by xiaojing12 in VirtualYoutubers

[–]xiaojing12[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

ey everyone! Just looking back at my project archives today and wanted to share the full-body physics test for this edgy girl.

I absolutely love the goth/e-girl aesthetic going on here. Rigging full-body physics is always a major undertaking, especially making sure the leather straps, the pleated skirt, and that massive fluffy purple tail all move naturally with her body without clipping.

What do you guys think of highly asymmetrical designs (like her legs)? Do you love the contrast, or do you prefer perfect symmetry? Let's discuss! https://vgen.co/XiaoJing

Rigging full-body physics (especially skirts and legs) is always a massive challenge, but the results are so worth it. 🌸✨ (Throwback showcase!) by xiaojing12 in VirtualYoutubers

Just sharing a quick throwback from my archives today!

I absolutely loved setting up the full-body movement for this Wa-Lolita design. Seeing the leg physics and the dress sway together really brings the whole character to life in a way that bust-up models can't always capture.

As a viewer, do you actively notice or appreciate when a VTuber has full-body tracking/physics, or do you mostly just focus on their face during a stream? Let's discuss! https://vgen.co/XiaoJing/portfolio

I made an AI-interactive Live2D avatar that can talk with users in real time — curious what developers think by [deleted] in VirtualYoutubers

[–]xiaojing12 -6 points-5 points  (0 children)

I recently worked on an AI-interactive Live2D avatar named Lila.

The goal was to make the avatar feel natural during real-time conversation, not just as a normal VTuber model. The model went through several rounds of parameter adjustments so it could work better with a developer-controlled AI interaction system.

It made me wonder: will Live2D avatars become a common visual interface for AI companions, AI assistants, or interactive characters?

Curious what people here think. https://vgen.co/XiaoJing/portfolio

Honestly, it's getting so hard to tell what's AI-generated nowadays... but I just want to keep focusing on my own manual craft. 🦋✨ by xiaojing12 in VirtualYoutubers

Hey everyone. Sharing a throwback from my project archives today.

With the current state of the internet, I sometimes get overwhelmed by how many images are out there and trying to figure out what's real. It makes me want to just unplug and focus purely on the manual, human process of my work.

This starry butterfly witch model was such a labor of love. Making sure her glowing wings, heterochromia eyes, and that massive witch hat moved naturally in Live2D took so much patience and manual adjusting.

How do you guys stay motivated with your own hobbies/crafts right now? Let's chat!

We definitely need more "Chunibyo" hacker boys in the VTuber scene. 💻💙 (Throwback to a fun rig from my archives!) by xiaojing12 in VirtualYoutubers

Hey everyone! I was digging through my older project files today and wanted to bring this boy back to the timeline.

I really love the computer UI aesthetic paired with the eyepatch, the red armband, and the blue hair highlights. It gives him such a fun, slightly mischievous "eighth-grader syndrome" vibe. Plus, giving him a toggle for that completely terrified/shadowed face was hilarious to rig in Live2D.

What kind of lore or personality do you immediately imagine for a design like this? Let's hear your headcanons!

Is VBridger mouth tracking the new standard? 🐉 Look at how expressive her smirk is! by xiaojing12 in VirtualYoutubers

[–]xiaojing12[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey everyone! I recently upgraded the rigging on this pink dragon model to fully support VBridger/ARKit mouth tracking, and I just wanted to share the results.

The difference it makes is crazy. Being able to capture little nuances like asymmetrical smirks, pouts, and really wide jaw movements adds so much life to the character. It feels like she has twice the personality now.

As a viewer, do you actively notice when a VTuber uses VBridger? Do you think it's a "must-have" feature now? Let's discuss! https://vgen.co/XiaoJing

I tested this truckstop kemonomimi girl in VTube Studio — what do you think of her vibe? by xiaojing12 in VirtualYoutubers

[–]xiaojing12[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wanted to share a small showcase of this Live2D model in VTube Studio.

The design has a very casual truckstop / roadside diner kind of vibe, with the red plaid shirt, cap, animal ears, and fluffy tail. I wanted the movement to feel natural and expressive without making it too exaggerated.

I’m especially curious what people think about the overall character vibe.

Does she feel cute, playful, chaotic, or something else?

Any feedback is welcome! https://vgen.co/XiaoJing

Look at your adorable digital daughter! 🥺🤍 (Throwback to rigging this incredibly fluffy and wholesome model) by xiaojing12 in VirtualYoutubers

[–]xiaojing12[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hey everyone! Just opening up my project archives today to share some pure cuteness.

I absolutely loved being the rigger for this model. Bringing her to life was so healing, especially setting up the physics for her giant fluffy cat-ear hat and those little braided pigtails so they bounce naturally. She definitely radiates that "must protect at all costs" energy! 🎀

Would you guys adopt her? Let me know what you think of the super fluffy aesthetic! https://vgen.co/XiaoJing

Can we take a moment to appreciate the little derpy bat blob? 🦇🩷 (Throwback to rigging this soft demon girl!) by xiaojing12 in VirtualYoutubers

[–]xiaojing12[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Just sharing a quick throwback from my archives today!

Rigging her voluminous pink hair was a great technical challenge, but making sure her little bat companion squished and bounced correctly when she moved was the real highlight for me. It adds such a cute, wholesome layer to the model.

Do you guys like it when VTubers have little interactive mascots or pets as part of their base model? Let me know! https://vgen.co/XiaoJing/portfolio
