I added spherical deformation to the 3D depth rotation feature. For round objects it makes it faster to create the initial rotation. You know, for physics defying anime booba.
Depth rotation/3D rotation. R (Rotate) -> X/Z (Rotation Lock) -> CTRL+Scroll to adjust the Y offset. The rotation point can be offset from X/Z to get a starter rotation for things like the head.(Since our spines are roughly 3/4 back from the front of our faces.) #Umamo #Live2D

People falling over themselves for high end Neumann microphones is hilarious. I know someone with U67 and their audio sounds like over processed crap because it is set up poorly. Incidentally, all my Nuemann microphones have been sold or are in storage. (My mic in reply. ⤵️)
Twitter has decided to send me all the mic discourse now and I'm getting takes like "if you use a condenser mic you won't get CD quality sound if you don't spend a lot of money, like a Neumann U87" Seriously, no. That is nonsense and I've done recordings to prove it.

I'm using the Aston Origin for streaming. For instruments I have an AKG C414 XLS on a tall arm. They're in vastly different price brackets, but the AKG just handles loud toots better. I tried using my Neumann TLM 103 for streaming for a while, but it just wasn't working out.

Allison Montgomery has won Alabama's State House District 25 election, flipping the seat from Republican to Democratic. She becomes the first transgender woman to be elected to the Alabama Legislature.

It's wild to see my friend get elected in Alabama. Congratulations, Allison! 💚👏
“they elected a trans woman!!” “that’s great!” “in alabama”

I reverse engineered ARKit to learn how it works and bust the myths. It is a ML model that takes a 128x128 pixel RGB selfie and spits out the blend shapes, plus post-processing. I made it work on macOS, with any webcam. OpenVT mac builds coming soon. gist.github.com/hoshinolina/…

The year is 2026 and Live2D development is still moving at a glacial pace. Offscreen drawing is the only interesting feature from the past two years and is extra demanding on GPUs. I want more...
the year is 2050, toasters and microwaves have added suppport to live2d 5.3 version vtubestudio still doesnt support it

The code is frozen for the Umamo 0.5.0 release. Today I'm working on a sparse manual for this release since I'm expecting people to be more interested in actually rigging with this version. It's a lot of writing and screenshots to do so I will release it sometime this week!

OMG I looked up the "developer" on Twitch and they have a stream from TWO MONTHS AGO where they start with Rust "Hello world" level tutorials, then later magically switch to writing code for "their" project... ...by typing out entire files from top to bottom. And making typos.
People advertising a "new" Live2D alternative. Authors swear up and down it's not vibe coded. The entire website reads like LLM speak. *Looks in .gitignore* # agent notes stay local, never in the repo CLAUDE[.]md .claude/ I'm so tired of these liars.

Meanwhile, Cubism over here has a whole pop up window and ridiculous interface to do the same thing. teapaw.org/Live2D/status/18055284…
Replying to @Live2D
Feature Introduction: Apply 3D Expression The "Apply 3D Expression" feature is now available! This feature allows you to generate 3D rotated shapes instantly. This lets you easily create a base motion when creating a rotational motion for X and Y. For more details docs.live2d.com/en/cubism-ed… #Live2D

Pose mode for deformers reuses most of Edit mode's tools so even proportional transform works for keying parameters. :D #Umamo #Live2D
Umamo's warp deformer support is being built! 💚 It's in the overlay popup picker as well to make it easier to pick stuff when a lot is selected.

I added rotation deformer transform settings along with the sidebar no longer being a giant placeholder. Though, it's sparse for now.

Eight hours of take home tests. Three interview rounds. "We have decided to proceed with another candidate for the position at this time." 🤬😭 I wish I could work on Umamo full time. I actually enjoy that versus interviewing for the corporate grind.
I have been quiet about Umamo stuff for the past week. I'm actually doing some contract coding work for a game right now! I also had a successful first and second round interview for a new job!~ :D So that's why I'm quiet. Umamo will still get a 0.5.0 release soon.

So... What do I do with 240x 18650 batteries? DIY solar storage? Shipping them is a hassle.
