"This game was rigged from the start."
God, I wish.

[hmnhntr]

The Rigger being portrayed as a wizard is totally accurate. I changed majors after my first 3d modeling class because I determined you have to be a lunatic or a divine being to rig.

[TophBeifong-sxdm]

Instructions unclear, you told me professional tip, I now have glass stuck in my hand and a broken monitor.

[thesternest]

there is also the option of getting a vtuber model through human sacrifice and necromancy but we dont talk about that

[Fuudo_]

I've done both, because I wanted to experience it, the best I could do was getting my simple terribly drawn character to move, open his mouth wide, smile, blink, and look around, it took 3 days of me rigging not knowing what I was doing XD

Basically, respect to the riggers and artists

Edit: Also, I had to redo layers 2-3 times because I didn't know the body parts had to be in seperate layers, it was 1 layer first, then wrong layers after, pain

Here’s exactly why she told us *Don’t become a Vtuber* :
It’s expensive, like $1, 000 or more! The artists spend a LOT of work on Vtuber models!

I love that this actually answers the honest question that at least SOME of those people were asking in the process.

[Wolf_Spark]

I don't think people realized that having the model and rigging it is just half the battle. Just because you have a good model doesn't mean you're instantly famous, you still need to be a likeable person and have some sort of talent behind that avatar.

As a person that has worked on several Vtube Projects and working on one currently, I have seen this short about a year ago think" OH, I am NEVER gonna make a model, it looks WAY to complicated." Here I am now, made a model for a dnd project, school, now finally working on my personal Vtube model.

GOD, HELLA RESPECT FOR THE ARTISTS AND RIGGERS!!!

Step one: Thousands of dollars
Step two: sad

[oedsvlogt]

My girl you don't know how much I've missed these shorts. The amount of brain rot I've seen is uncanny.

[jvts]

I've recently heard that having only a little knowledge on a subject can end up being worse than none at all

[plants]

The most amount of experience ive had with rigging is in after the flash and even thats terrifying me

[headoverheels]

The rigger pondering his orb for the 78th time to perfect the rigging process

[Blank_Dude]

Oh my gosh the full model of it is so pretty.

[murpdirt]

Step 2 is don’t. I’m sorry but that had me rolling.

Rin: Being a vtuber is super complicated and hard don't do it
Yukko (in a community post): Here's free software I was using when I started. It's not the best but you're never gonna start with the best. And you don't need that. If you're an LGBT person just being out there and showing to people and making them feel represented is a good enough reason. And if that's not your goal it's still worth going after your dreams

[Iateabatteryfornoreason]

Imagine in like 50 years someone is gonna find this, look at the millions of Vtubers that use mix and match, and treasure it like how we treasure old techniques from like 500BC

[EleanoraDzen]

Yeah, literally had a deep dive trying to understand where the models come from last year. I wish I had this video back then

[Sanka_Risa]

As someone who's made, and rigged 3 different VTuber models in the span of 4 months, I'm glad someone spoke up about how difficult a process this is.
