Bueno, pues tocará ser productivo 😔

Fine I will finally speak on why saying 'just up the sensitivity of your rig/ get a more expressive rig instead of puppeteering' is so wrong lol, this discussion has been RAGEBAITING me for a while Context about me: I draw and rig my own vtuber models and I am obsessed to an unhealthy degree with optimizing my tracking. So obsessed, in fact, that i have a custom setup for my VBRIDGER GRAPH SETTINGS. yes that is right, the VBRIDGER GRAPH SETTINGS. I have optimized the SHIT out of this models movements and responsiveness and range of movement way beyond the rig itself. NO AMOUNT OF AN EXPRESSIVE RIG WILL MAKE MOVEMENTS THAT AREN'T HAPPENING HAPPEN. END OF DISCUSSION. You can put the inputs at a level so low that the smallest flick of your head results in a full 180 swing (looks like shit btw don't do this) that STILL doesn't mean the models head will swing if YOU don't. 'You don't need to act when rigging is expressive enough' must be the most brain dead fucking take I've ever seen (respectfully). And again, I MESS WITH MY BLENDER GRAPH SETTINGS! I AM NOT AN OK INDIVIDUAL. My rig must not be expressive tho, huh? cause guess what? shit does nothing if i don't move BECAUSE OPTIMIZING A RIG ISN'T WIZARDRY. The 'expressiveness' of a rig simply means the capability it has to capture YOUR emotions. An inexpressive rig will make an expressive person look stiff. An expressive rig will NOT make an inexpressive, stiff person look expressive. Can we finally call this discussion solved and move on??
