I don't want to take a break from rigging my Live2D because I want it to be done, but taking a break for a trip let me have fresh eyes in a way that even a weekend doesn't. 🌄
I am scared of things I have probably done wrong and don't even know I will have to fix, but I am moving forward. 🌅

No Live2D updates because I went on my first vacation in like five years - to Toronto! 🍁
Met with friends and many nice people 👋, ate many good foods 🥟, went to the aquarium 🦈, museum ⚱️, many small cute shops 🔮, cheered for the Blue Jays ⚾🍻, survived being lost in union station 🚇.

I still have some eye movement details and the mouth open/close to deal with and then I can FINALLY HAVE HAIR AGAIN 😱

I'm working on Live2D Head XY and just finishing up some details. I'm hoping to have it done and make a preview before I go on a small trip. ^^
(I will still have to do mouth open/close on the angles when I get back)

Ok, I disappeared because I got called to jury duty. 🏛️✨
It was physically and mentally tiring and emotionally exhausting, but in the end restored a little of my faith in my local humanity. ❤️🩹

I honestly thought I would be done rigging by now. I feel humbled and great respect and awe for how much work animation is.

So BL4 uses 50% CPU just sitting at the main menu screen (wtf) 💀
but somehow did not crash on me once while playing even if fps did shit the bed at times 🐌💩🤎
1440p with a Ryzen 9 3900X (6yo) and 3070 (5yo) on unadjusted Medium settings.

just a crusty no production WIP of Live2D Head XY.
All elements have only been adjusted in a very "flat" way, so I will be giving the eyes more depth and fixing them glitching off the face in future iterations.

Also, for all my crying about being so slow for spending a month on eyes I guess I made about 72 main forms that are made from the layering of about 288 forms that break down to about 450 forms if you go by individual texture.

My next Live2D challenge will be Head XY. I started with some deformer setup.

Work Out Cynthia 💪✨
the variety of lil faces I can make with the VBridger mouth is really stunning. 👄💖 I've done all the shapes except Mouth X (and possibly some lil physics).
(I did VBriger with NVidia Beta, not iPhone, so no tongue out or cheek puff for now)

It took me 4 days to do the first 15 mouth forms.
2 days to do the next 15.
and 2 days to do the final 24.
... so I do seem to be getting faster. 🐇
Still need to finish the Shrug and Pucker forms (mostly done) and do Mouth X (not started).

VBridger Funnel mouth forms done pretty quickly!
Spent so much time experimenting with the default VBridger model that my face hurt. 😵
I will probably transfer the 1.5 Mouth Open shapes I made to be Press shapes instead since they represent pulling the lips back from a fully opened jaw position.

Yesterday I did the 2/3 bodyweight RDLs for 3 sets of 10 !! 🫠
I DID IT TWICE. 🍑🔥🔥
Today I did RDLs half my bodyweight 3x10. 🍑💢
I bet I can do 2/3 bodyweight once. I will find out next time. 🔍

Also took me an hour to figure out tariff rates that may or may not be applicable at any given point in the future. 😵💫

Read a comment on a video about Live2D mouth forms from someone saying they were intimidated, but that it only took them an hour to make the forms.
I know I'll get faster with experience - it's already happening - but it has taken me an hour or more to make each form. X___X

Also, I gave in and got the #Live2D 5.3 beta to make use of new advanced blend modes.
1. eye inner iris lights now better match the original art plus have a nicer shadow color using Color Dodge.
2. face shadows better match original art and blend more nicely using Darken.

I still have so many mouth forms to make (i'm not even halfway there 🥲), but it's rewarding to see the face starting to become flexible and expressive.
