you had to ask?

>>8513927
This doesn't count because she has a 3D model.

It's weird that their technology is still at the level where they need to manually change their expressions instead of being able to track that too.

>>8514029
The technology does already exist, but for some reason they choose not to use it.

>>8512615
Watame or Suisei

Pekora the futotta

>>8514200
the hololive software is lacking at this point compared to the shit alot of indies are using.

>>8519424
Like who, for example?

>>8520462

>>8520645
Those are not indies...

>>8520645
What does Niji use anyway?
Just vtubestudio?

Pippa has great eye tracking especially for size. Adds a lot to the experience imo. Not sure if the model is just well rigged or if Phase just has some secret sauce

>>8527595
Supposedly, they have their own proprietary software that is exclusively used within the company.

>>8528445
Also, is that the correct use of the word proprietary? I have no idea. I just tossed it in there because I thought it'd make the post sound smarter.

>>8532270
If you mean in-house software then yeah that’s correct. I guess it would technically be more accurate if it was in-house software that was also copyrighted and available to the general public but no point in splitting hairs.

>>8527768
Why does Pippa's model sway from side to side so much?

>>8512615
Watame.
But I also enjoy ones that don't give a fuck about changing expressions like Korone with her happy big brown eyes and tulip mouth.

Nijisanji in general seems to have superior software. In terms of manually doing things, I think Mori does amazingly. There’s very little pausing when she toggles faces.

>>8532670
Why is she angry? Oh! Sorry. Happy face. Happy dog.

>>8512615
pikamees old model did it really well, her new one is ok but the old one had that charm to it

>>8513581
fpbp

>>8532769
The old one creeped me out because if she opened her mouth too wide and you saw too much of her teeth then it made her teeth look really weird and creepy.

>>8532684
I watched Pomu stream today and I was impressed with her rig. I don’t know what they’re doing differently from Hololive on a technical level but it looks great.

>>8532831
Looks a little souless

>>8532826
It was all part of the appeal... Onegai pikamee please stream with your old model sometimes, it's an all-time classic chuuba design.

>>8532930
Niji’s models are technically superior but they’re missing some of the quirk and character that Hololive has

This might showcase the emotions a bit better. They usually trade the range of motion for automatic emotion expression.

>>8512615
I haven't seen better than Watame. If she had access to better equipment and software I feel like it'd be no contest.

>>8533186
This moment when Pomu's cat died in Minecraft. This wasn't a manual toggled expression.

>>8532831
Kino stream? Kino stream

>>8532831
It helps that Pomu has a great artist.

Not to say Nijisanji doesn't have good facial expression technology but I'm pretty sure Hololive models are also able to detect the eyes and mouth opening wide. It's the smiling, frowning, etc. without having to press a button that is what Hololive models can't do.

>>8533859
I can’t wait to see what she cooks up in the future

I think Fubuki's rig is a pretty good example of what you said. The smilings and such are pretty well expressed.

Rosemi model literally has one expression.
Finana cant look sad.

>>8535025
Name one time Finana has ever been sad. You can't.

>>8534203
The eyebrows are another key part of conveying emotional expressions. I know Nijisanji's are automatically tracked and can change shape and angle depending on the talent's expression (compare eyebrows on >>8533367 to >>8534225 ). I don't believe Hololive's is able to do that automatically, but I may be wrong.

You dont watch her streams.

>>8535057
Maybe I am a schizo, but I'm SURE Finana has has a sad expression at least once. It's somewhere, I just don't know where.

>>8535057
Her thumbnail for today's LoL colab.

>>8536477
I'd be sad too if I had to play LoL in 2021.
