/vt/ - Virtual Youtubers

we had this convo in /asp/ a while back about how dropping cash on assets that are unique for the sake of being unique is a huge waste of money. i don't see what the point of having a "scary" model is when all you're gonna be doing is playing video games.

there's a 3D vtuber named GreatMoonAroma who's entire model overly exaggerates their expressions. it takes the idea of face-cam streaming with a virtual avatar to the extreme by reaching far into those cartoony expressions. instead of the limited range of motion that Live2Ds have. pic related.

by going virtual, you can have access to all those expressions. that's what you can add. panicking and freaking out can be conveyed better, being sad and crying can be done better. that's what you can add in terms of value. but just having a "scary" model on its own doesn't do anything.

just looking at it from a practical standpoint. why would you drop resources into a model whose only redeeming point is "it just looks different at first glance"?
