I do not trust anyone who just takes someone’s word about another person without actually proving it. I’ve been fed rumors about “bad people” when they are the sweetest beings ever and the rumors were from fuckers who were projecting their own evil onto them.
Don’t be stupid.

Just wanted to say that I appreciate all of the vtubers that have come forward to support REAL artists.
Yall are the real ones. I have so much love for you and our vtuber asset artists and riggers ❤️
Today I made a prototype of a system that turns a single AI-generated portrait into a living VTuber. No rigging, no Live2D, nobody spending 80 hours in an editor.
The character was generated locally with SDXL using the same model and custom LoRA I use for the art bot in my Discord server.
A video model (Grok) then animated her into a chain of idle clips, each one starting on the exact frame where the previous one ended, so she loops forever and rarely cuts.
Her mouth is the interesting part: a tracker follows the drawn lines of her lips through every frame, measuring position, angle, and width, and a composited mouth rides along, rotating and foreshortening as her head moves. The mouth shapes themselves were inpainted onto her own face by SDXL, so every viseme is in her exact art style. Real phoneme detection drives which shape shows.
Because the mouth is composited rather than baked in, it stops the instant the voice stops. The body animation never even knows speech exists.
Animating her ate about half of my SuperGrok credits, which works out to $14.32 if you paid for the same experimentation directly. I used 5 of the 12 generated clips in this demo. Narrated this demo using the Kokoro TTS model for free.
Next step would be webcam emotion detection so she can swap between animation sets when the streamer smiles or gasps, more mouth shapes
@lunavesperUK@TheShottyStrms@BleuCheesie how about you look at how it’s affecting minority populations in america. people in their 20s and 30s in my birthplace being diagnosed with COPD BECAUSE of these data centers polluting the air and water. you done being a tea towel yet ?
after over [redacted] hours, i FINALLY started the task i set out to do in Palworld today :3
special shoutouts to @AltraVT, @VeroKoshiki (woaj), forgottenpotatooo & xxspot41xx for the raids !! i super duper appreciate yall !!
yeah so this is actually gross suggesting people use a “resource” that’s actively killing the planet. it’s so tone deaf & the lack of concern for the environment and people actively getting life threatening illnesses from these data centers is scary. USE REAL ARTISTS, PEOPLE !!
Thanks to all of you I have had to listen to and console my sibling (not @zorro_kitsunevt but maybe @KastleKourt i refuse to name names though) who has devoted countless hours and sleepless nights to the men of this game. ONLY FOR YOU TO TAKE AWAY THE BEST ONE
