🎉Today is my birthday!!!🎉 While I wish the new model debut was today, I appreciate all the messages from the last post. I do hope to eventually resume making tutorials with a new look and continuing the 3D journey with everyone!!!

I made a long post on YouTube to explain why I've been very inconsistent with posting content. I'm also sorry to announce that the new model showcase will be delayed until I can get my IRL life sorted due to the amount of changes. Full YouTube post here: youtube.com/post/UgkxTo2...

Currently going through Lexapro withdrawal since I no longer need it+experienced worse memories the longer I was on it. The process is painful but what helps me is eating, vitamins+herbs for brain health, hydrating, and wearing my headphones due to brain zaps from hearing.

In other news, I bought Tomodachi Life the day of launch (Used Klarna for payment plan). I saw it at Walmart 2 days earlier but I wasn't allowed to buy until the 16th. I accidentally made a love triangle and I want to cry.

Sorry I'm inactive so much. The past months have been hectic due to many changes IRL. Still sorting things out but I finally have my older sister back home with me for good after years of being far apart. I also can see my baby shrimps again which I've been babysitting a lot.

If you're a Linux user that Vtubes, can you tell me your experience? How stable/unstable is it for VTubing (3D and 2D)? How does dual boot work (Ex. Linux Mint)? What about using programs without Linux support (Ex. Elgato and certain mocap programs)? Is it complicated?

Want to constantly see your model on your monitor similar to what VMagicMirror does? With Spout 2 Overlay HUD, it overlays any Spout Capture on your monitor (No OBS) which can be fun for Discord calls or monitoring your model while streaming. Download: github.com/Marsic1/Spou...

Have you ever wanted to make comics or mangas easily with your VTuber/Vroid model? Check out @storyboarder3d.bsky.social which is a new website where you can have access to an easy to use posing system, environments, 2D layout system, and more! Storyboarder Showcase Video: youtu.be/sSme9GbRVMw

Sorry I haven't been super active, I will say that my new model is progressing behind the scenes. It's a lot but I hope the reveal is worth it. Images are not final (The texture is combined not with proper masks for shadow blending).

Trying to get caught up with my responsibilities, I did got a chance to experiment with Rokoko again cause I felt like testing mocap as usual.

Today I want to showcase an addon called "ARKit Toolset" created by @andyhellgrim.bsky.social. The addon comes with a built-in ARKit reference guide, adds empty shapekey slots for quick preparation, and comes with a pre-made anim and eye test controller for ARKit.

We recently demoed Storyboarder to @kanafuyuko.com and super thrilled that they made a comic with their OCs Test-Kun & Test-Chan 😍🥳 Check out the comic here: beta.storyboarder.com/stories/part... You can make a comic like this easily at: beta.storyboarder.com #VRoid #comic #webtoon

Did a test where I made the SlimeVR Nighty plush into a VRChat world prop. You can see how it gets thrown around and still has physics.

I made the Nighty Plush 3D model for @slimevr.dev. I thank the peeps at SlimeVR for sharing interest in wanting to see and use the finalized 3D model (It was originally fan-made). I made sure Nighty is expressive with a simple cel-shaded style+squish ability via bone rig.

Another big update to the Physical Mocap Document for 3D VTubing!!! Lots of new information+improvements. Thank you Vicon and AzeruOfficial for allowing me to include official/proper insight regarding Vicon's hardware. Link to 3D VTuber Mocap Document: docs.google.com/document/d/e...

@kanafuyuko.com modeling the Nighty plushie props for VR chat! Its soooo cute!!! :33

Comment your 3D Setup/Mocap questions on this post and I'll answer!!! I want to do a post event since all week I've been answering mocap questions so I want to do my part in helping 3D VTubers.

So lately, there's a specific tutorial that has been bothering me and kept me procrastinating on making other tutorials for a long time. I think it's time I do something about it before I fear it again because it's such a big 3D topic to teach but must be taught.

The SlimeVR Butterfly trackers have launched!!! -Very light weight -No occlusion -10 trackers max per dongle to connect so no wifi needed and less USB clutter -Improved algorithms and new IMU model for less drift -24+ hour usage SlimeVR Butterfly: www.crowdsupply.com/slimevr/slim...

Sorry for not streaming this week. I decided to keep locking in on getting my model's progress going so I don't fall behind on the planned May reveal. Maybe for Monday's stream, I can work on the prototype Warudo scene setup for this new model but use the current model to demo.

I love hanging out with my 3D friends!!! Sometimes I feel a bit guilty that I get easily distracted because of how amazing they are but at least I know they're friends I trust. Also, I finished the base UVs on my model and finally working on texturing. Getting close to finish!!!

UV Mapping is making me want to rip my wings out. At least I got the most painful part being the dress, got to finish the rest of the UVs and I can finally work on textures.

SlimeVR Butterfly Trackers are completely compatible and easy to setup with Warudo too! Campaign starts on February 9th, subscribe today (ᵔ⩊ᵔ) on slimevr.dev/smol

UV Mapping my model! I'm doing my best to improve as much "alignment" on the UVs as possible. Just a fun challenge for me despite the model being cell-shaded with subtle gradient work.

Butterflies Are Coming Soon! We have the date! Our crowdfunding campaign launches on February 9th at slimevr.dev/smol, and the pre-orders are expected to ship in August 2026. Set of 6 trackers + dongle will start at $279 USD!

I ran a stream test with this CPU. With Fortnite+Warudo running on a single PC with CPUSetSetter helping, Warudo was able to have stable 100-127 fps and Fortnite was able to reach 60 fps (Note some lag spikes even with low settings).

The AMD Ryzen 9 9950 X3D 16-Core CPU is so powerful, Warudo can go 70-80 fps even when I limit to 60 fps. I need to fix some audio bugs but I hope next stream goes well!!!

You can use the VMC4B (¥ 1,000) plugin to test your weight paint in Blender based on your VTuber mocap before converting. VTuber program must support VMC sending. This demo uses Warudo+MMD and the VMC4B plugin to send to a non-VRM model.

Currently very focused on improving the rig of my new model. For the most part the mesh is "final", just need to finalize the main bone rig and I have to UV map. This is why I missed stream today, also expecting new CPU (AMD Ryzen 9 9950 x3D) for more cores soon.

❄️Big update to the physical mocap document for 3D VTubers!!!❄️ I did a big rehaul to allow better readability, improved categories, improve information accuracy, etc. Check the image for change notes. ❄️Link to VTuber Physical Mocap Document❄️: docs.google.com/document/d/e...

I got my medicine today. For anyone curious, I feel like I can remember again, I can think through my thoughts without needing to say it out loud, and I can even focus during conversations with my family. So much realization, I can't believe this is what I needed.

I finally got an official ADHD diagnosis. It may not sound like a big deal but to me it means a lot. I've always wondered why I have such awful communication, memory, and focus issues for 5 years. I always wondered why I feel like a kid to every adult I meet.

I love Blender's array modifier!!!

MY SON IS BACK!!!! I CAN WORK AGAIN!!! The tech guy really did a amazing job at making the PC much faster! I do notice Warudo eating a lot of RAM so I hope I don't crash during the stream test soon. For now I need to rest more before I get to business.

For those wondering about where UltraLeap's parts went to in 2026. They were bought by Roli to become hand tracked instruments which is known as Airwave (Not a Vtuber tool fyi). Source: roli.com/blog/ultrale...

Mr. Biscuit will be out for about a week. I can't wait for less laggy streams and better performance for work. Sorry to have to delay any content.

Mr. Biscuit is going to be gone for upgrades tomorrow. Here are the new specs he'll be getting so wish Mr. Biscuit luck with the upgrades. The tech peep will take care of them!

I have updated the memorial website for my sister, Michelle, so that way her artwork and story can be better showcased. Please take a look when you can and check out the new links so you can know how to spread awareness for Misophonia. Memorial Website: miishull.carrd.co

Working on a convenient way to clip 🦋 Butterfly Slimes to clothing :3 With this little thing, you can attach trackers to a belt, pants, or even shoes, while trackers will still repeat the curve of your body ^^

I tried my best modeling ears for my model. I have more to re-model before UV map. Left is original prototype. Right is the re-model.

Finally finished client work for the year, won't be doing comms for 2 months. Will be focusing on my new model and tutorials. Tell me, what tutorial would you like for Christmas?

Testing CPU Set Setter regarding balancing CPU cores for OBS and Warudo. It does make a change from what I noticed, but I would need to do a stream test to see if it's worth utilizing. My updated 3D setup will have better optimization.

I worked on Tomoe Umari's Warudo+NiloToon, VRM, Mocap Consultation, and MMD setup for their 3D debut. Thank you @mofuworkshop.com for trusting me on the work.

Another client of mine debuted. I worked on @mirunemochi.com's bone rigging for main model+slime model and Warudo conversion. ARKit Rig: @mvjagaimo.mofuworkshop.com VRChat Conversion: TheKareeda via Twitter

Finished rigging Alexstra's Award outfit. I'm currently working on the VRChat conversion work before I do their Warudo conversion. I hope to finish this work soon! Modeler: Jashin_Vtuber via Twitter

My 2nd most complex Warudo work I did for a client was for @midinval.bsky.social where I created a functional bar for cameras, serving drinks with animation, outfit toggles, redeems, and other stuff. Showcase is shorten due to Bluesky video limitations. Happy to work for ya!

I worked on Ayuki Akiba's NiloToon conversion, refined the outfit toggle blueprint, and other quality of life features for the model. Thank you Mofu Workshop for trusting me on the work. Original modeler is: wwin3d via Twitter

I worked on Zephyrianna's VRChat conversion a while back. I added PhysBones and prepared her toggles. Thank you MVjagaimo (Mao) for trusting me on the project.

Sorry for the wait, I updated the mocap document to include the updated information. -SlimeVR Butterfly -FluxPose -Movin -Notice about Vive 3.0+Base Station 2.0 price change -Added a note that Mocopi XYN has an annual plan -Other corrected notes Link: docs.google.com/document/d/e...

I was in charge of converting Mint Castella's winter outfit+NiloToon outfit setup for Warudo and creating the outfit toggle blueprint for her winter debut. Thank you @mofuworkshop.com for trusting me on this project!
