📝 One more note about sending sound to OBS: VTube Studio can use VBAN to send sound output directly to OBS without playing it back or needing a virtual audio cable. It's extremely easy to use and very convenient.

But if done right, it can be absolutely worth it!! So please give it a try!! 💖 I want to see what everyone comes up with using this, so please @ me if you make something cool!! ✨ For more info: github.com/DenchiSoft/V...

Sound effects are extremely important for immersion in video games, so why shouldn't VTubers have them as well? Fair warning though, proper sound design is hard and setting up dynamic sound triggers for items/models can be a lot of work if you want them to sound good.

1110

There's a ton of trigger options and customization: volume and pitch control based on parameter movement speed, echo/reverb, playback chance and cooldowns, anti-repeat randomization, spatial audio with stereo panning based on model/item position, and much more.

📝About the sound effect system: You can set up sound effects and trigger them manually using hotkeys or have them fire automatically based on your model movement (Live2D parameter values).

1110

It also comes with three new sound-enabled Live2D-Items made by LittleMewn ✨ x.com/littlemewn ✨ They turned out super cute so please try them out! 💖🎵

【📢】 VTube Studio 1.35.0 is now released!! This update adds a fully dynamic, reactive sound effect system!! 🔊🎶🥁 🧵👇

Finally, huge thanks to the people who helped with this update!! 💖 7MC Productions for making the Live2D controller asset! @wfn.bsky.social for helping a lot with testing/debugging!! @girutea.bsky.social for the super cute art used in the controller config UI ✨

For the controller support, VTS allows you to completely re-map your controller inputs, so it is recommended to use it without Steam Input 🎮 Please try turning it off (for VTS specifically) if you run into issues. More info: github.com/DenchiSoft/V...

The Layer Groups have been on the beta branch for a long time but they finally made it into a release!! ✨ This makes it much easier to set up model layer recolors, for example to change your hair color 🎨🖌️

Oh and it's not Live2D 5.3 before anyone asks 🫡 No news on that yet sadly.

VTube Studio @vtubestudio.bsky.social · 22/03/2026

【📢】 So what if I told you there are THREE VTube Studio updates dropping this week?🎶 I think you'll like all of them... but I'm especially excited about the last one!! 🥴 Any guesses...? 🤔

4️⃣【 For Live2D Riggers 】 You can use the new Live2D Cubism 5.3 Editor when creating your models, but you cannot use the new model features (new blend modes, off-screen rendering, ...) When exporting, make sure you select "SDK 5.0/Cubism 5.0", otherwise VTS will not be able to load your models.

Again, as soon as I can realistically estimate a timeline for this, I will let you know on all VTube Studio social media. At the moment, the best ETA I can confidently give you is "sometime this year". Thank you for your patience.

1260

Careful coordination and validation are necessary to make sure 5.3 support can be implemented properly, even if that means it takes more time. I am working closely with Live2D Inc. to ensure that the final implementation will be able to support all features that users of VTube Studio rely on.

1160

That implementation was ultimately scrapped in December, which led to Live2D's decision to switch to a new URP-based rendering approach in order to restore missing functionality.

1130

After a while, it became clear that their initial implementation could not correctly render models, broke existing functionality and could not realistically be fixed.

1170

3️⃣【 Additional Context 】 Since the first early beta versions of the 5.3 Unity SDK last year, I have been in continuous contact with Live2D Inc. and provided technical feedback.

1240

• After the upcoming February release for VTube Studio and assuming the Live2D 5.3 Unity SDK is nearing completion, implementing 5.3 support will be my sole focus. Because of the scope of changes, I will rely heavily on community testing.

1231

• However, these features will be implemented differently under the new system, which will require substantial rework on the VTS side.
