The old one was not made with live2D in mind so as a vtuber it looked uncanny.

the face
/thread

>>38264769
Skin color, nose, inability to blink.

>>38264769
It was too dark, see how much of a contrast there is from the hair and clothes
Remember how she always had a filter that made everything brighter?
Plus 2.0 is a lot cuter

2.0 addressed the glaring issues that made 1.0 look like a freak.

Dull colors

>>38265261
>>horns
They have the exact same horns.

>>38264769
Uncanny face

>>38265402
2.0 got rid of the two smaller ones and made the main ones significantly smaller.

>>38264769
the rigging

The dark eye-shadow and dark lipstick made her look a bit like a sloot but the worst part was, in my opinion, you could see too much bottom teeth whenever she opened her mouth.
The new version doesn't really solve the latter issue though w.

>>38265466
>2.0 got rid of the two smaller ones
Did not even notice they were there; thought it was her hair.
It's not really a bad thing.

>>38264769
Old face looks too wide, nose is too wide, eyes are too wide, mouth is too wide. New face is more like anime where the eyes remain the same but the face is smaller. Skin tone is also lighter.

>>38265475
>the rigging
That's another one that doesn't get as much attention. If the new rigger did 1.0, I think it would have been acceptable enough to force IRyS to keep it.

>>38265261
The horns are the only thing on this list that make no sense. What was wrong with them?

>>38265698
The smaller ones look like tumors.

>>38264769
skin color was too dark
nose was "too big"
hair made rigging hell to do especially when it was going to be 3D
"overly" detailed features
general contrast compared to others made her stick out like a sore thumb (even for holoEN only)

>>38265738
You've never seen a tumour.

>>38264769
She mentioned she had to constantly smile with the old one because the neutral expression was that sort of pouting face.

>>38266308
Jesus that's horrifying.

>>38264769
She always disliked how her old model does not have a constant smiling face like other holos

Are we not talking about the fugly mouth rigging in the new one?

>>38266308
That's probably very tiring and I wouldn't wish it on anybody.
But IIRC it's been proven that forcing yourself to smile makes you have happier thoughts. So I wonder if her new model won't bring out a slightly darker personality of hers over time.

>>38266308
>so lazy that even smiling is too much effort

>>38264769
Old design was better but didn't work with L2D.
New design isn't as refined but works way better with L2D.

>>38264769
The only issue with the new model is no high heels.

>>38265261
>with the other girls
irys don't give a single fuck to anyone except herself tho

>>38264769
is the old model going to be damnatio memoriae'd like Nene's original one?

>>38264769
>Too dark
>Weird head and face positions
>Her model looked too much like a random art instead of something that works with the rigging

>>38264769
she is white now. she hated being brown

>>38265475
>>38265586
yes

she wanted to look more slutty

>>38264769
>>38265261
I agree with everything except for the dress, that was the only downgrade with this redesign
I loved the way that redjuice was somehow able to include stuff for stockings fans, spats fans and thigh high socks fans in one design. It also looked simple from a distance while keeping complexity at close inspection while the new one I feel like just looks complex at any distance.

>>38268410
Shouldn't have gotten rid of the leggings and heels in that case.

>>38264769

Her legs weren't long enough.

>>38264769
Less black, more white

>>38268449
the old one was super messy from a distance

>>38272539
Yeah, IRyS 1.0 looked like she hadn't taken a bath in a while.

>>38265076
>inability to blink
Look, it's the fabled clipwatcher.

>>38264936
What this anon said. The original one looks fine as a still image, awful when rigged.

she's pinker now

>>38264769
The colour.
The actual issue is how the hair looks though.

>>38279551
Anon please the term is magenta

>>38284965
Magenta lover here.
Depending whose color naming system you are using, she's somewhere between a Ruby and a French Pink.

>>38284965
>magenta

>>38265261
>>unnatural look that doesn't match with the other girls
>2.0 addressed the glaring issues
No actually, 2.0 made it worse now that she is overly bright for no reason and looks weird next to anyone with a more natural color palette.

>>38265698
IRyS just didn't like them. She prefers the smaller single pair. There's nothing wrong with the old ones other than her preference.

>>38264769
Being a nigress

>>38264769
goblina nose

>>38264769
70% the face
30% the color tone

Her hair would be absolutely retarded looking in 3D

>>38264769
IRyS 1.0 looked too old.

>>38295642
Yes. I like how they were able to keep the somewhat messy aspect of her hair in 2.0, but at the same time make it not a disaster.

>>38264769
nose

>>38295642
Trying to recreate 1.0's rats nest hair style in 3D would have been a headache.

>>38309410
Even the current hair is going to a a little funky, and probably move unnaturally, even for hololive 3D standards.

>>38309410
Seriously what the fuck was redjuice thinking when he created this shit

>>38309606
I mean as concept art and a still image it looks super fucking good. It's just that nobody told the retard he was supposed to be designing something that could be animated in 2D and modeled in 3D

>>38264769
Too unique. The Japanese half of her couldn't handle not being just another face in the crowd with nothing to distinguish her from her peers. Now she has a generic forgettable anime girl design like all her friends which makes her feel less like an individual.

>>38264769
Hair still looks like shit

>>38267149
Last I heard the studies on that were starting to get pushback but yes it was believed that was the case for a long time

>>38264769
I'm not a fan of her 2.0 model and is probably because of how shiny it is. Her first model had something her new one is missing. Idk how else to put it in words because I'm retarded but, it just feel too "plastic". If you gave her 1.0 the same physics her 2.0 model got I think it would look even better.

>>38313759
that's the Stockholm syndrome talking

>>38264936
that explains it

>>38313708
The replication crisis strikes again
Thanks social "sciences" for teaching everyone a bunch of dumb fake shit for 40 years

>>38264769
Her new design hurts my eyes. But I suppose looking at whatever she is would hurt my mortal eyes.

>>38309606
Old IRyS was a really cool fantasy/scifi illustration
Just a pretty bad vtuber design

Original had a fucked up face whenever it deviated from her neutral expression. New is generic sure, but it doesn't look offputting, which is an improvement unless you're into the ugly moe thing.

>>38318220
I was one of the few people who quite liked her old design. I cannot argue that the new one is an improvement, though. I'm just flustered that IRyS went from having one outfit to having a different one outfit. It'll be a travesty if her original outfit doesn't get ported to the new model. The new one doesn't have asymmetrical stockings. How does that even qualify as Hololive?

>>38318723
Original outfit is definitely more aesthetic. Seems like they decided to simplify everything, which I guess works out in the sense that it's easier to rig and not look uncanny. At the very least I'd like to see more redjuice art of her, since his concept looks fine so long as they don't try to make it move and emote.

>>38279551
>>38284965

>>38267244
Have you ever smiled for 5 hours straight? Try and and let us know how it felt.

>>38318827
Maybe they shouldn't make a perfect replica of the debut outfit, but they can bring a lot of the look back in a reimagining, of sorts. A simplification process could make the skirts less complicated, do away with the feather-like edges of the bodice and maybe make the chest/neck area less busy, but the things that were really hampering 1.0 in a technical/L2D sense were the face and hair, which are already fixed. What I'm hoping for in her next original outfit, though, is a ponytail. I really wanna see her rocking a high angled one that makes her hair look like a flowing waterfall.
