「viRtua canm0m」 Project :: 002 - driving a vtuber

That about wraps up my series on the technical details on uploading my brain. Get a good clean scan and you won't need to do much work. As for the rest, well, you know, everyone's been talking about uploads since the MMAcevedo experiment, but honestly so much is still a black box right now it's hard to say anything definitive. Nobody wants to hear more upload qualia discourse, do they?

On the other hand, vtubing is a lot easier to get to grips with! And more importantly, actually real. So let's talk details!

Vtubing is, at the most abstract level, a kind of puppetry using video tracking software and livestreaming. Alternatively, you could compare it to realtime mocap animation. Someone at Polygon did a surprisingly decent overview of the scene if you're unfamiliar.

Generally speaking: you need a model, and you need tracking of some sort, and a program that takes the tracking data and applies it to a skeleton to render a skinned mesh in real time.

Remarkably, there are a lot of quite high-quality vtubing tools available as open source. And I'm lucky enough to know a vtuber who is very generous in pointing me in the right direction (shoutout to Yuri Heart, she's about to embark on something very special for her end of year streams so I highly encourage you to tune in tonight!).

For anime-style vtubing, there are two main types, termed '2D' and 3D'. 2D vtubing involves taking a static illustration and cutting it up to pieces which can be animated through warping and replacement - the results can look pretty '3D', but they're not using 3D graphics techniques, it's closer to the kind of cutout animation used in gacha games. The main tool used is Live2D, which is proprietary with a limited free version. Other alternatives with free/paid models include PrPrLive and VTube studio. FaceRig (no longer available) and Animaze (proprietary) also support Live2D models. I have a very cute 2D vtuber avatar created by @xrafstar for use in PrPrLive, and I definitely want to include some aspects of her design in the new 3D character I'm working on.

For 3D anime-style vtubing, the most commonly used software is probably VSeeFace, which is built on Unity and renders the VRM format. VRM is an open standard that extends the GLTF file format for 3D models, adding support for a cel shading material and defining a specific skeleton format.

It's incredibly easy to get a pretty decent looking VRM model using the software VRoid Studio, essentially a videogame character creator whose anime-styled models can be customised using lots of sliders, hair pieces, etc., which appears to be owned by Pixiv. The program includes basic texture-painting tools, and the facility to load in new models, but ultimately the way to go for a more custom model is to use the VRM import/export plugin in Blender.

But first, let's have a look at the software which will display our model.

meet viRtua canm0m v0.0.5, a very basic design. her clothes don't match very well at all.

VSeeFace offers a decent set of parameters and honestly got quite nice tracking out of the box. You can also receive face tracking data from the ARKit protocol from a connected iPhone, get hand tracking data from a Leap Motion, or disable its internal tracking and pipe in another application using the VMC protocol.

If you want more control, another Unity-based program called VNyan offers more fine-grained adjustment, as well as a kind of node-graph based programming system for doing things like spawning physics objects or modifying the model when triggered by Twitch etc. They've also implemented experimental hand tracking for webcams, although it doesn't work very well so far. This pointing shot took forever to get:

<kayfabe>Obviously I'll be hooking it up to use the output of the simulated brain upload rather than a webcam.</kayfabe>

To get good hand tracking you basically need some kit - most likely a Leap Motion (1 or 2), which costs about £120 new. It's essentially a small pair of IR cameras designed to measure depth, which can be placed on a necklace, on your desk or on your monitor. I assume from there they use some kind of neural network to estimate your hand positions. I got to have a go on one of these recently and the tracking was generally very clean - better than what the Quest 2/3 can do. So I'm planning to get one of those, more on that when I have one.

Essentially, the tracker feeds a bunch of floating point numbers in to the display software at every tick, and the display software is responsible for blending all these different influences and applying it to the skinned mesh. For example, a parameter might be something like eyeLookInLeft. VNyan uses the Apple ARKit parameters internally, and you can see the full list of ARKit blendshapes here.

To apply tracking data, the software needs a model whose rig it can understand. This is defined in the VRM spec, which tells you exactly which bones must be present in the rig and how they should be oriented in a T-pose. The skeleton is generally speaking pretty simple: you have shoulder bones but no roll bones in the arm; individual finger joint bones; 2-3 chest bones; no separate toes; 5 head bones (including neck). Except for the hands, it's on the low end of game rig complexity.

Expressions are handled using GLTF morph targets, also known as blend shapes or (in Blender) shape keys. Each one essentially a set of displacement values for the mesh vertices. The spec defines five default expressions (happy, angry, sad, relaxed, surprised), five vowel mouth shapes for lip sync, blinks, and shapes for pointing the eyes in different directions (if you wanna do it this way rather than with bones). You can also define custom expressions.

This viRtua canm0m's teeth are clipping through her jaw...

By default, the face-tracking generally tries to estimate whether you qualify as meeting one of these expressions. For example, if I open my mouth wide it triggers the 'surprised' expression where the character opens her mouth super wide and her pupils get tiny.

You can calibrate the expressions that trigger this effect in VSeeFace by pulling funny faces at the computer to demonstrate each expression (it's kinda black-box); in VNyan, you can set it to trigger the expressions based on certain combinations of ARKit inputs.

For more complex expressions in VNyan, you need to sculpt blendshapes for the various ARKit blendshapes. These are not generated by default in VRoid Studio so that will be a bit of work.

You can apply various kinds of post-processing to the tracking data, e.g. adjusting blending weights based on input values or applying moving-average smoothing (though this noticeably increases the lag between your movements and the model), restricting the model's range of movement in various ways, applying IK to plant the feet, and similar.

On top of the skeleton bones, you can add any number of 'spring bones' which are given a physics simulation. These are used to, for example, have hair swing naturally when you move, or, yes, make your boobs jiggle. Spring bones give you a natural overshoot and settle, and they're going to be quite important to creating a model that feels alive, I think.

Next up we are gonna crack open the VRoid Studio model in Blender and look into its topology, weight painting, and shaders. GLTF defines standard PBR metallicity-roughness-normals shaders in its spec, but leaves the actual shader up to the application. VRM adds a custom toon shader, which blends between two colour maps based on the Lambertian shading, and this is going to be quite interesting to take apart.

The MToon shader is pretty solid, but ultimately I think I want to create custom shaders for my character. Shaders are something I specialise in at work, and I think it would be a great way to give her more of a unique identity. This will mean going beyond the VRM format, and I'll be looking into using the VNyan SDK to build on top of that.

More soon, watch this space!

Hello! I am amazed by your work, and I am very curious as to what software you use to make new clothes? Blender ? Marvelous Designer? Are you stripping the 3D characters first and then adding new clothing? Thank you :)

hello !

I use blender exlusively, i did try Marvelous designer but couldn't get into it before the end of the free trial lmao

if you want to make new clothes for the characters the easiest way to do it is to use clothes from the game as base and edit them ( saves you a lot time since the heavy work is already done , i have a tutorial showing how i do an outfit edit for Yennefer using only game assets ->

youtube

then once you feel more comfortable adding bits and pieces made from scratch never hurts ;)

not sure what you mean but to add new clothes i just replaced the vanilla outfit meshes with the new modded ones, simple as that

This is the product of a four-year endeavor to see if I can actually make a 3D animated film using only free/open source software, on a laptop(mostly), by myself. This is an experimental film that I started to see whether or not I can make a 3D animated film. With characters and environment that I designed, modeled and prepared for animation. Also doing the animations myself, especially with characters interacting with each other. How to handle the physics simulations(hair, cloth, etc.) Lighting, Rendering, Compositing and Editing. Adding sound and music just telling a story through 3D animation. This is also a fan adaptation of a portion of the book, Gregor the Overlander by Suzanne Collins. I decided to do this experiment using an existing story because I don't really want to risk my own original stuff for it. 😅 So I took a big risk on this one without risking too much. At the same time bringing to life a story that I love! The mission was to know how to take a story from script into a finished 3D animated film. Figure out the technical stuff and also enduring the labor of a 3D animation production. And I believe I fulfilled that mission. I learned A LOT with this one and I can honestly say that if I were to do this again with the amount of knowledge I have now, I could do it in half the time. And yep, there's definitely still room to grow! I've shared everything about this film, since I started its creation through a series of videos here: https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PL6knnwMF9fRd4HMVp8I1n-v9oxFMOSpXW This is a fan 3D animated film based on some events from the book Gregor the Overlander by Suzanne Collins.

Digital Media: Sources & Significance

Reader

1. H. Desamsetti & K. Lal (2019) , “Being a Realistic Master: Creating Props & Environments Design for AAA Games, Asian Journal of Applied Linguistics, Vol. 6 No.2”,

The authors covers the procedure and workflows for creating virtual reality, environments, and assets for AAA video games. This defines that an environment designer is responsible for visually creating a game world and works with teams of concept art, animation, level design, tech art and so on. An important approach is to create modular assets have a rigid grid that can be easily integrated with larger environments such as building materials. In property creation, referencing has a significant role, with 3D scanning of the base model, collecting reference images and many other ways. Other tips authors given include the importance of setting up the right metrics quickly, reusing the modular pieces, playtesting for a smooth gameplay flow and so on. In overall, the article helped me to understand what are the duties of an environment & props artist in creating a game.

2. J. Roettl & R. Terlutter (2018), “The same video game in 2D, 3D or virtual reality – How does technology impact game evaluation and brand placements?” https://doi.org/10.1371/journal.pone.0200724

This article helps to examine the influence of player experience and brand placement on playing the same video game in 2D, 3D and head-mounted-display (HMD) virtual reality (VR) versions. The authors have helped us to understand the limitations & implications. They shows that while HMD VR increases the perception of presence, it can lead to drawbacks such as lower brand recall and increased cognitive load, which can affect the overall gaming experience. Such information from these findings contribute valuable insights into the growing field of participatory games and virtual reality. The data examines the effects of different video game technologies(2D, 3D and VR) on player experiences, including presence, motivation, perception of the game, and memory of brand placements in the game.

3. H. MCQuillan (2020), “Digital 3D design as a tool for augmenting zero-waste fashion design practice, International Journal Of Fashion Design, Technology And Education”,

The article discusses the use of 3D design software as a way to enhance low-waste fashion design. Zero-waste fashion aims to eliminate farbric waste from clothing production through pattern making. The author discusses their design process before and after learning 3D software. The overall article explores examples from industry, academia and research on ‘the use of 3D software’ for ‘zero-waste design’. Benefits include faster identification of design ideas, remote collaboration, more accurate digital prototypes instead of physical prototypes, and test design pushes before physical prototypes. The software changes the business process further, it finds relationship between form, model and waste. This helps manage costume waste during design. The authors proposes a new waste-free 3D software. It concludes that 3D tools provide a unique enhancement to waste-design by design by providing simultaneous visibility into fabric use and appearance. This allows for creative freedom while reducing waste, moving fashion towards sustainability.

4. D. Livingstone, J. Kemp & E. Edgar (2016), “From Multi-User Virtual Environment to 3D Virtual Learning Environment, ALT-J, Research in Learning Technology”” https://www.tandfonline.com/doi/epdf/10.1080/09687760802526707?needAccess=true

The paper discusses the development of sloodle, an integrated system combining the Second Life ‘multi-user virtual environment’ (VLE). It reviews the history of using online virtual worlds for education, and argues that while such environments are good for synchronous collaboration and experiential learning, they lack features common in VLEs like Moodle for supporting asynchronous activities, course management, and assessment. Sloodle aims to bridge this gap by integrating Second Life and Moodle, allowing features like chat, blogs, assignments, and content distribution to work across both platforms. The development of Sloodle has been community-driven, informed by surveys, feedback, and a pilot study. Early results show it being used effectively for things like reflective discussion, connecting remote student groups, and motivating learners. The paper concludes that tightly integrating immersive 3D environments like Second Life with web-based learning platforms can create a true 3D virtual learning environment with expanded capabilities of benefit teaching and learning.

5. S. Van Nguyen, S. Thanh Le, M. Khai Tran & H. Manh Tran (2021), “Reconstruction of 3D digital heritage objects for VR and AR applications, Journal of Information and Telecommunication” https://doi.org/10.1080/24751839.2021.2008133

The article presents a method for reconstructing 3D digital heritage objects for use in virtual reality (VR) and augmented reality (AR) applications. The method involves: 1) Collecting data on real objects using a 3D scanner which outputs 3D point clouds. 2) Processing the data to remove noise and triangulate the object surface, detecting holes represented by boundary points and triangles. 3) Reconstructing the object by filling holes on the triangular surface. The novel approach focuses on preserving the local shape of the surface when filling holes. 4) Building VR and AR applications to visualize a virtual museum with reconstructed heritage objects. Results demonstrate the new hole-filling approach better reconstructs surface details compared to existing methods. The method aims to support cultural heritage conservation and research by accurately recreating damaged or missing tangible artifacts.

6. A. Chia (2022), “The Metaverse, but not the way you think: game engines and automation beyond game development, Critical Studies in Media Communication”, https://doi.org/10.1080/15295036.2022.2080850

In this article, the authors explains how game engines like Unity and Unreal Engine are being positioned by tech companies as the infrastructure for building interconnected virtual worlds known as the “metaverse”. Game engines provide the real-time 3D rendering and physics simulations that allow users to interact with digital environments. Beyond gaming, engines are increasingly adopted in industries like film, architecture, and manufacturing for interactive visualization and simulation. As engines expand beyond gaming to render people and objects in other industries, the implications go beyond labor displacement. The cultural assumptions and values that shape automation decisions in game development migrate to other contexts like architecture and manufacturing. The article calls for game studies to follow the influence of engines across industries in order to shape their emerging role as infrastructure for cultural production ande material processing.

7. Y. B. Kafai & Q. Burke (2016), “Constructionist Gaming: Understanding the benefits of making Games for Learning” https://doi.org/10.1080/00461520.2015.1124022

The article talks about architectural games, especially in game design, offer a multi-dimensional approach to learning. The individual component emphasizes the application and transfromation of knowledge through the program and academic interventions. The social dimension emphasizes collective planning and sharing or exchanging plans in the community. The cultural dimension examines the benefits and limitations of participation, focusing on diversity, cultural context, empowerment, collaboration, and critical communication. Together these dimensions contribute to understanding all have the educational potential of game planning in serious sports. In overall, the article highlights on several key findings an insights related to the use of game theory activities as an environment for teaching computational theory and practice, with a focus on strategic and constructivist perspectives. The vision of “connected play” is based on an inclusive approach where students can not only play but also create the games they want to see and play, and encourages an environment conductive to learning.

8. S. Safikhani, S. Keller, G. Schweiger & J. Pirker, “Immersive virtual reality for extending the potential of building information modeling in architecture, engineering and construction sector: systematic review, International Journal of Digital Earth”, https://doi.org/10.1080/17538947.2022.2038291

The article focuses on the integration of virtual reality (VR) with ‘Building Information Modeling (BIM)’ in the architecture, engineering and construction (AEC) industry. There is a growing need for digital transformation in AEC, and the paper suggests that VR applications using consumer-based head-mounted displays (HMDs) could be a solution and the BIM is recognized as a promising technology in the AEC sector. The article helps us to understand the role of VR in overcoming BIM challenges, which is to bridge the gap in connectivity and integration, VR is also being used. The paper argues that VR can provide new capabilities for BIM that previously did not exist or were difficult to implement. The objectives of the article is to systematically review recent research on the use of VR in BIM.

9. D. Abbott, “ Game-based learning for postgraduates: an empirical study of an educational game to teach research skills, Higher Education Pedagogies”, https://doi.org/10.1080/23752696.2019.1629825

This paper describes the development and evaluation of the “How to play your research Degree” educational game. The paper focuses on game-based learning (GBL) in secondary education, in particular the teaching of postgraduate research.

This is a study that introduces and explores the concept of “animatorship” in the context of rural development and entrepreneurship. Often, researchers focus on the “entrepreneurial hero” as a key driver of rural employment and growth. The paper introduces the concept of “community entrepreneurship” that goes beyond individual definitions to include collaborative efforts in business development at the local level. The main objective is to demonstrate the potential of animatorship as a catalyst for rural community entrepreneurship and animation practices. The paper is first structured to introduce and explore the concept of animatorship, followed by a literature review, a discussion of animatorship in the village SOS system, the methodology information, presentation results, and finally conclusions and recommendations. From this article we can conclude that animatorship is a valuable and previously neglected concept that contributes to understanding how entrepreneurial activities contribute to rural development.

AI-driven tool makes it easy to personalize 3D-printable models

With Style2Fab, makers can rapidly customize models of 3D-printable objects, such as assistive devices, without hampering their functionality.

Adam Zewe | MIT News

As 3D printers have become cheaper and more widely accessible, a rapidly growing community of novice makers are fabricating their own objects. To do this, many of these amateur artisans access free, open-source repositories of user-generated 3D models that they download and fabricate on their 3D printer.

But adding custom design elements to these models poses a steep challenge for many makers, since it requires the use of complex and expensive computer-aided design (CAD) software, and is especially difficult if the original representation of the model is not available online. Plus, even if a user is able to add personalized elements to an object, ensuring those customizations don’t hurt the object’s functionality requires an additional level of domain expertise that many novice makers lack.

To help makers overcome these challenges, MIT researchers developed a generative-AI-driven tool that enables the user to add custom design elements to 3D models without compromising the functionality of the fabricated objects. A designer could utilize this tool, called Style2Fab, to personalize 3D models of objects using only natural language prompts to describe their desired design. The user could then fabricate the objects with a 3D printer.

“For someone with less experience, the essential problem they faced has been: Now that they have downloaded a model, as soon as they want to make any changes to it, they are at a loss and don’t know what to do. Style2Fab would make it very easy to stylize and print a 3D model, but also experiment and learn while doing it,” says Faraz Faruqi, a computer science graduate student and lead author of a paper introducing Style2Fab.

Style2Fab is driven by deep-learning algorithms that automatically partition the model into aesthetic and functional segments, streamlining the design process.

In addition to empowering novice designers and making 3D printing more accessible, Style2Fab could also be utilized in the emerging area of medical making. Research has shown that considering both the aesthetic and functional features of an assistive device increases the likelihood a patient will use it, but clinicians and patients may not have the expertise to personalize 3D-printable models.

With Style2Fab, a user could customize the appearance of a thumb splint so it blends in with her clothing without altering the functionality of the medical device, for instance. Providing a user-friendly tool for the growing area of DIY assistive technology was a major motivation for this work, adds Faruqi.

He wrote the paper with his advisor, co-senior author Stefanie Mueller, an associate professor in the MIT departments of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science and Mechanical Engineering, and a member of the Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence Laboratory (CSAIL) who leads the HCI Engineering Group; co-senior author Megan Hofmann, assistant professor at the Khoury College of Computer Sciences at Northeastern University; as well as other members and former members of the group. The research will be presented at the ACM Symposium on User Interface Software and Technology.
