I’ve gotten a fair few new followers since I last showed just -me- and been silly on the timeline instead of just releases n stuff—so um hi 👉👈 I’m naeruru and I like arctic foxes and the color purple

I just released face tracking for Chocolat! it includes all sorts of ear, tail, and wing movements for various expressions. I went for a v cat-like look for this one ฅ^>⩊<^ฅ get it on booth: naeruru.booth.pm/items/7998433 or kofi: ko-fi.com/s/ac71bf4373 #vrchat

I was able to see the tail end of the perseid meteor shower peak with low light pollution and no one around last week! it was too windy to stabilize the camera though :<

wait I love the beach now wtf the foxes are so precious…

decided to take a vacation for myself. I picked the beach. I’m deathly afraid of deep water 🥺 but I must persevere,, for the local foxes

for new booth releases I sometimes make a silly lil placeholder image so people I pre-gift to have something to look at

Milltina face tracking by me—! it includes a new Live2D-like mouth graph for more unique and expressive mouth shapes. plus, it supports an assortment of shape key customizations on all 8 prefabs. out now! booth: naeruru.booth.pm/items/7212197 kofi: ko-fi.com/s/020fa5a08f #vrchat

reworking the mouth part of my face tracking animation controller on Milltina and I’m rly excited how it’s turning out yaay✨ it includes a new Live2D-like mouth graph for unique expressive mouth shapes on 3D models, but it still feels familiar and natural to use UE/ARKit wise

I have a couple vket projects I helped create this time around and am excited to show them when vket happens next month ᐠ( ᐢ ᵕ ᐢ )ᐟ each one is v unique from the other ✨

I spent a fair amount of time making this face tracking feel uniquely manuka. and it even works well for the boldest of shape key alterations. it’s out now!! booth: naeruru.booth.pm kofi: ko-fi.com/naeruru/

Yaaaay - released! A little rough since I had to work overtime at my 9-5, but I'm happy to release before Monster Hunter. (It would never be released if I didn't make that deadline) You can find it on Booth here! sinrith.booth.pm/items/6587424 #Marycia3D #右近弐式

lionturtle let me talk about stuff I do in vr in their metaverse degen podcast. I talk about face tracking, vket booths I’ve made together with friends, and why I even got interested in it at all. I was recovering from the flu so enjoy my dead voice 🥲

happy new years!! this year started off really rough for me but lots has happened that was good. I finished grad school, got surgeries I’ve been wanting for years, and traveled to many new places and met some online friends in real life ฅ^>⩊<^ฅ

Come check out our Vket booth at Isekai Marché (Eclipse)! @naeruru.com and I created a mocap animation with face tracking using ShaderMotion in VRChat! o kuté muté! vrchat.com/home/world/w... #vrchat #vket

working on this Vket booth while recovering has been a real struggle; but the booth itself is coming together and honestly really silly I’m excite!!

I had surgery 4 days ago and the recovery I’m going thru rn is honestly some of the worst levels of constant pain and discomfort I have ever felt 🫠 I mean, everything will end up being better now that it’s done, but wtf this is crazy I’m suffering

VR <-> IRL

finding somunia at tower records in person was so cool that I bought the cd a second time,,,

I might start using this app for real, but it’d probably be more of a personal account than my other stuff… not sure

uhm here’s an old doodle
