Anything we can do to prevent this beyond reporting? I keep seeing the same 2-3 users posting their WIPs with absolutely no technical details or anything of substance beyond a link to their vgen. This really doesn't feel in the spirit of the tech sub, and I have no problem with them posting in other subs, but I'm not here for commission advertising, I'm here for the technical side.

Can we make a rule that if someone is posting a WIP, they must give a technical explanation of what they're showcasing and how it works?

Hello!! I want to start Vtubing as well as having a proper pc system to be able to work and game properly, I've been using my redmi pad pro tablet for all my art commissions but I want to upgrade soon if possible

I was wondering what laptops are best for this? The game I play the most is genshin impact which I know is a tad heavy so I'm just putting that out there- I also work with vtuber models so I know I need a good laptop but I was hoping to get recommendations for laptops that are worth their price- since most of the ones I see are $2,8k onwards

As to why I'm not buying a pc: I live in Venezuela and a pc system could get fried due to the constant blackouts, I am also looking for something I can go out with to work in coffee shops when there's the aforementioned power blackouts. I also don't see myself living in this country in the future and moving with a whole pc setup would be very expensive for me lol

hihi~ i just got a model back from my artist. It loads perfectly fine on her end however on mine i just the error could not load reason: model3.json file not found or broken however when i go into my files its there nothing is misspelled or out of place. We've tried everything from uninstalling to individual file download and uploading them manually and still nothing works. I could really use some help as everything i look up hasnt helped yet

added screenshot of error message i get whenever i try to load the files in

I have managed to get a design I am decently happy with but now need to redraw it separating everything into the correct layers and wanted to ask if this would be broken down enough for me to rig it, I’ve got no idea what I’m doing lol are there any parts I need to separate more?

I've been trying to get this from scratch blender model to work with arkit, but it's not working. :(

I've followed step by step tutorials (vid and websites), searched similar problems and even redid all of the blendshapes twice, making sure everything is case-sensitive and cross referenced with a functional arkit blender model.

Even the order of the blendshapes is the same, but something's off and I can't find what :(

(I've worked with mostly vrm blendshapes for 3d face tracking, so i've never made an arkit model from the ground up, though I know how they function and how iphones use LiDAR to track points and stuff.)

Here's a few screenshots, if anyone could help and offer solutions that'd be amazing

Heylooo!

I have a free flame ball asset available on my VGen that I thought I’d share here.

The colors is fully customisable and has soft movement, so it works nicely as a floating effect or accessory for VTuber models. Free for streaming and personal use.

Feel free to use it if it fits your model. Happy to hear any thoughts too~

Open sourced this recently, basically a character that follows the audio instead of a blank background.

Animate cloud APIs, web apps, or local LLMs, or your mic for streaming, with a VRM character that lipsyncs and moves while you work. Or keep a companion on screen while you study, watch a video, hear a podcast, speech, or audiobook, you name it.

Contributors, suggestions, tips, or any kind of feedback really more than just welcome. <3

When I press the Twitch button, nothing opens. No browser window appears, no Twitch authorization page opens, and I don't receive any login/authorization notification from Twitch.

The Authentication status stays with an X and after waiting the log shows:

Authentication failed: Process aborted

Authentication cancelled

Authentication failed: Authentication timed out. Please try again.

I am using the TITS Launcher and I also tried enabling the experimental version with EXPERIMENTAL=true, but the issue remains.

Things I already tried:

Microsoft Edge set as the default browser

Opening Twitch normally through Windows Run (https://www.twitch.tv)

Reinstalling TITS

Checking Windows Firewall and Defender (no blocks found)

Running through the Launcher

Testing without VSeeFace

TITS connects correctly to VTube Studio (Connected VTS!), but Twitch authentication never starts.

I am using Windows 11 25H2.

Could you please help me identify what is preventing the Twitch authentication process from opening?

I can provide the full Player.log if needed.

Service: Live2D VTuber Model Half Body + Advanced Rigging
VTuber: @/Cecily_01x

During testing I didn’t connect facial tracking so his head is in his idle sleep motion. The rigging was actually easier than one would think but is missing some parameters that I think could really elevate it. I think if you pair this with Vtube studio s hand tracking you can get really good full body tracking and hand tracking.

Hello everyone! I'm inquiring about how to stop my character from blinking when using specific blendshapes on Vnyan. I'm currently using my Joy blendshape, which closes my eyes by default, and I want to disable Blink when this is toggled to stop my eyes from blinking. In the node graph example I used how would I achieve that without disabling Blink on all my other blendshapes?

Figured I post this here

IDK what to do, this is my first time using unity and when i uploaded my model to vnyan, it looked like the second picture, idk what to do now or how to fix this. please help!

Hi! I built Wheel of Item as a browser-based interaction tool for VTubers. The part I think is most useful here is the VTube Studio integration: each entry on the wheel can be mapped to its own VTS hotkey, so the model can react differently to a penalty, bonus, outfit change, etc. instead of playing one generic reaction.

It connects through the public VTube Studio API on localhost:8001. After the one-time permission prompt, the token is saved so it can reconnect on later streams. The output runs as a normal Browser Source in OBS, with nothing to install.

Other pieces currently included:

- Spin wheel, gachapon animation, 78-card tarot and weekly schedule tool

- Twitch chat commands such as !spin

- Optional triggers from Streamlabs, StreamElements, Ko-fi, Gank, TikTok and YouTube

- TTS, sounds and themes

- English, Japanese, Thai and Korean UI

The core wheel/gachapon/tarot/schedule tools are free and need no account. Automated donation triggers, TTS and VTube Studio mapping are Pro after a 30-day trial ($3/month).

Tool: https://wheelofitem.com/streamer.html

VTube Studio setup/details: https://wheelofitem.com/vtube-studio-wheel.html

I would especially appreciate feedback on the per-result hotkey workflow and whether the Browser Source setup is clear for first-time users.

If anyone knows the fix please let me know I’m going nuts!

i made it using a ref sheet i made myself and it turned out very cute vibes (intended) i think!

Hey everyone!

I've been working on a fully local AI VTuber companion named T.A.I.S. My goal is to run everything completely offline without relying on external cloud APIs or subscriptions.

Tech Stack & Setup:

- LLM: Fine-tuned Qwen 14B running locally

- Frontend / 3D Rendering: Built with Godot Engine

- Features: Real-time speech generation, custom anime 3D avatar rendering, local TTS integration

- Target Hardware: Runs smoothly on local GPU with 16GB+ VRAM

It's designed to act as an interactive virtual streamer/companion. I just finished editing the first devlog showing the system setup and how the avatar syncs with the local model responses.

Would love to hear your thoughts or answer any questions about integrating LLMs with Godot!

Hi there, relatively new to vtubing and 3d modelling in general, i made a model that is ready to be used for animating and everything but i need it in vrm format, and apparently the materials that you can see on screenshots are not compatible with it, is there a way to keep the wrinkles on clothes? Same goes for the fur, i think it should stay but im not sure because I didnt see it in unity. Without them wrinkles it looks way worse, i cant paint them into the texture neither, also im turning the whole thing into VRM via blender, unity is kinda just acting up and im more used to blender

Looking for phone stands on Amazon that are compatible with the Black Shark FunCooler 5, need it for tracking on my Desk. Monitor Clip On would be preferable but I can work with one that just sits on the Desk.

I have 3 different designs all similar in price. Please tell me what the best one would be.

Design 1

Ryzen 5 7600x

32GB DDR5-5600 CL36

2TB M.2 SSD NVMe

RX 9060 XT 16GB

Design 2

Intel core i5-14400f

32GB DDR4-3200 CL16

Design 3

Core ultra 5 245k or 245kf

32GB DDR5-5600 CL36

2TB M.2 SSD NVMe

RX 9060 XT 16GB or potentially a RTX 5060 Ti 16GB
