Another important issue I rarely see people discuss: Live2D is a proprietary technology. If you have a 3D model you can use it pretty much everywhere without limitations; Live2D models only work in Live2D-licensed applications. Also…

Making free stuff is hard. If you don’t spoonfeed every tutorial some people will just assume what they’re trying to do is impossible, leave you a negative review purely to vent, then disappear. You don’t even get to defend since they disabled comments.

Jaw dropped. I fully appreciate all the technical challenges & novelties involved in this, but I think Live2D rigging is time-consuming & expensive enough, and it is much more difficult to make 2D models look 3D than to make 3D models look 2D

…To create an app that can load custom Live2D models, even if the app is free, you need to “share revenue” with Cubism. That’s insane. This doesn’t bother 99% of the population I guess, but something makes me uncomfy about 2D VTubing tech effectively monopolized by Cubism Inc.

@YumikoVT 2. To use NiloToon, you usually have to purchase the NiloToon shader. However, NiloToon is more often sold to companies (e.g., Hololive) for their internal Unity projects, not indie VTubers, so the cost can come off as really high if you just want NiloToon on your VTubing model.

@YumikoVT 4. Also we're not the only app with NiloToon - for example Charm (used by @zentreya ) also supports it. If I have to guess why there's so few apps that support it - it's just harder to integrate with another rendering pipeline, and most users are less interested in a paid shader.

This along with a few other attempts eventually led to a revelation moment in 2022: 3D adds a new dimension, so a 3D VTubing app also needs a completely new paradigm. When you're 3D, people expect you to do all sorts of things that couldn't be done in 2D...

It was quite a lonely process for the first few months! My friends knew I was working on this, but none was convinced that 3D would enter mainstream - there were so few 3D VTubers on Bilibili, the platform I stream and socialize on. Also- "Aren't nodes too advanced for VTubers?"

. @AniLive_app This is egregiously wrong. No, you do not need PSD/cmo3 files to animate a Live2D model, unless you don't use the Live2D SDK (which is literally impossible). I struggle to find a *single* reason why raw files are needed at the first place. Please explain.

@KiraOmori Thanks for the mention! We definitely understand your concerns. AniLive doesn’t use VTS, so we ask for the files to adapt models to our in-house software. We use them for the sole purpose of importing + making avatars move on the app! More info to follow w/o X character limits!

The times when Hoshi and ZeroSkyes answered questions faster & better than I could. The times when everyone proudly shows their best moments with Warudo in the #showcase channel. The time when I flew to Shanghai to supervise a VTuber concert using Warudo with optical tracking.

It never, at once, felt tiring though. The incredible feedback from the community constantly encouraged me to "add one more thing" at 5am in the morning. (Disclaimer: This isn't good practice. In fact, I added too many features that I didn't even have time to document about.)

Obviously, if Warudo Editor is like this today, Warudo would never have more than 10 users. I soon realized while customization is important, I still wanted my non-programmer friends be able to use it. So, the "Assets" page is born: a more traditional way to tweak your settings.

I am also fortunate to have SLM and Nekotora to join on the team this year. I could focus more on the core product itself, while almost everything else from graphic design & marketing to accessibility improvements were taken care by them, for which I'm forever grateful.

Some outreach wasn't successful. Some new features weren't used at all. Rationally, I know this is completely normal; no app's perfect, and Warudo is still young. But emotionally, Warudo has taken more than 1/10 of my lifetime, and I selfishly wanted more people to appreciate it.

@Cap039 @AniLive_app heya! so from what I'm gathering ani live sends the whole model to the viewer? 🤔 sorry the more I learn about the app the more concerned I'm about it. I want to give you guys the benefit of the doubt but theres a lot of concerning stuff around (source )

Fortunately, a long vacation spent on rewriting Warudo's documentation was all I need. While writing the tutorials, I slowly came to appreciate all the effort we spent in the last 2 years. Boy, expressions weren't even included in the character asset back then!

The time when Feline was streaming coding the Adventure Items plugin and I joined the live chat to help debug. The times when Veasu quietly uploaded another super powerful plugin without reasonable amount of documentation from my side.

Are there mistakes that I regret? Yes. Basic tracking options like lip sync should be easier to configure. Implementing webcam multicasting was a terrible decision that created more problems than solutions. Too many "advanced" options that no one use.

It's not all sunshine and rainbows though. I was anxious for the past few months. From an November user survey, people praised Warudo's functionalities but still thought it's hard to use. Meanwhile, we had a lackluster documentation that hadn't been updated in almost a year.

I still remember an email exchange in which a guy tried to convince me their blueprint is correct, and “it’s just an issue with Warudo,” even after I pointed out their blueprint logic is incorrect and why. When I asked them to join Discord to discuss further, this is their reply:

@gelisor I have exactly experienced this - Live2D rigger ghosted me when I asked to purchase the original project files for doing some model upgrades, so I had to commission another rigger to redo the entire rigging. 😰
