Mac performance testing for Umamo... ~1 second from double clicking on the file to the application being open and the model rendered.

I'm messing around with a potential application icon idea for Umamo. Left: 2022 icon based on a 3D silhouette. Right: Redrawn today, more details.

Art won, but only because Apple made it impossible for me to buy anything from them. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ I'm poking around on VGen and sending out requests!~

So I can pay artists to make art/logo/icon for Umamo OR I can buy a Mac Mini for MacOS testing and publishing for Mac users. I can't do both right now. Personally I'm leaning towards the art...

Been making steady improvements to OpenVT, so let's go over most of the user facing recent changes from the past couple weeks! Plenty of additions to blueprints, as well as general usability tweaks 🧵

I added artwork import options for helping to align new artwork, especially those with different sized canvases, to each other on import.

CMO3 file loading performance benchmarks... Loading a massive 850mb file, in seconds: Cubism: 55s (load) + 15s (textures) = 70s Umamo: 15s total 55 seconds faster. What is #Live2D doing in their code?

Umamo v0.3.0-dev is out NOW!~ This is a huge release with full layered art import(PSD/KRA/CLIP), texture atlas edit/pack, and so much more. Umamo is still in early alpha development, but you can play around with it! www.umamo.org#download #Live2D #Umamo

Shout out to Massgrave for fixing my laptop's Windows' activation quickly, that I have a license for, instead of being forced to use Microsoft login instead of a local account. Because they changed the TOS between now and when I installed it in 2019 all because I changed the hardware.

Grab, rotate, and scale are in progress for the texture atlas now!~ It's a bit janky and only works as a rectangle for collision detection at the moment, but I will improve it over the next week.

I'm back and working on Umamo again! Do you speak Korean, Spanish, or any other language and want to contribute to the project, but aren't familiar with development tools? Now you can translate the application, download the strings.xml, and send it to me! i18n.umamo.org

public builds of openvt will be reenabled on itchio soon. CICD is currently set up and successfully creating artifacts on github that you can try now. It's been about a month since diving back into development. Lots of work has been put into improving UX in addition to the switch to Ayagami.

Ayagami does screenshots now! Just drop your model in, pose it however you like, and copy/save as transparent PNG (current view or full model resolution) demo.ayagami.dev Tomorrow I'll stream again and wrap up work on the 5.3 blending/color issues ^^

Linux hackers are safe, Windows and macOS hackers will steal your data... and you'd better call police if you meet a GPU hacker?!?!
AI Overview for "I am alone with a Linux hacker": Being alone with someone who uses Linux or works in cybersecurity usually just means sharing space with a quiet person staring at a black terminal screen typing fast. There is no real danger; they are likely just managing files, coding, or configuring a system..AI overview for "I am alone with a Windows hacker": Immediately disconnect your computer from the internet by unplugging the Ethernet cable or turning off Wi-Fi. Do not shut down or restart the PC, as this can destroy volatile memory evidence, but cutting the network connection stops data theft and remote access right now.AI overview for "I am alone with a macOS hacker": Disconnect your Mac from Wi-Fi or the internet immediately to block remote access. Use a separate, clean device like your phone to change your important passwords and Apple ID. Check for unknown user profiles, admin accounts, or strange login items.AI Overview for "I am alone with a GPU hacker": If you feel unsafe or are in immediate physical danger, leave the location immediately and go to a public place or call local emergency services by dialing 110 (Police in Japan). Your physical safety is the absolute priority.

Some bittersweet news: I can now work on Umamo full time for a while! Because I'm on medical leave from work. Which also means I'm not being paid. I own my home so I'm just handling monthly utilities so I should be fine.🤞 It's a complicated situation and I'll do my best!~ 🫂

What if Live2D rigging looked like this? This is not a mockup. It's real. @azxiana.com is building a modern CMO3 editor from scratch.

OMFG I just solved yesterday's Live2D physics mystery. The trick was to stop trying to make sense of the numbers geometrically, and just try writing buggy code. Wrote the dumbest bug I could think of, matched Live2D behavior 100% on the first try. Spot the bug...
# Compute rotation of the pendulum when incoming parameter
# is set to "angle". Besides changing the direction of
# gravity, Live2D has been observed to apply 1/5th of
# the delta angle "immediately", probably as some sort of
# fudge hack to make the pendulum start moving faster than
# it otherwise would towards the new gravity vector, making
# it more "responsive" or something. This 1/5th factor is
# accurate for small angles, but Live2D actually overshoots
# it for large angles. Why? Well...
input_angle = pi / 2 # Instantaneous +90 degrees rotation of pendulum system
da = input_angle / 5 # Apply 1/5th of the angle on first frame
# Rotate the bob angle by da
p.pos[0] = p.pos[0] * cos(da) - p.pos[1] * sin(da)
p.pos[1] = p.pos[1] * cos(da) + p.pos[0] * sin(da)
p.show()
# Live2D value: a=0.346603990 (radians)
# Above prints: a=0.346603960
# Correct answer: a=0.3141592 (pi/10 radians, 18 degrees)

# Spot the bug.

Got expressions implemented with weights, and even expression grouping for exclusive toggle control. Turning expressions on and off is as easy as setting the value to 1.0 or 0.0, or you can make the effect smooth by using Tweens in godot (which the demo does based on the user configurable rates)

I made Umamo capable of this simply because sometimes you really need to closely inspect the important parts of the horse when modelling.
