kemorig on my stream

Hi everyone!

This is a video with two new examples of how I'm using kemorig in my own stream. It's a glimpse at what I've been working on lately, and I hope it can also serve as inspiration for what you can do with it with your own VTuber!

Last Monday was a special stream on Twitch for me, so I prepared new features for my VTuber. The two big ones were these:

Fighting Game Mode

My cel shaded style is very much inspired by Guilty Gear, and I wanted to take a stab at my own GG-style animations for Proto. In addition, I thought it would be cool to let Twitch Chat control Proto, and give chatters something to interact with during down times.

How it's done:

• This feature is set up as a 2nd Stance Group (the 1st is the main group I use for standing, sitting, etc while streaming) with a Neutral, Crouch, WalkForward, and WalkBackward stance.

• I have an additional Toggle-Interaction to enable Fighting Mode. When Fighting Mode is not enabled, the avatar's Anim Graph toggles off the slot that Fighting Mode uses.

• The stances are bound to hotkeys, which streamer.bot (a program for interacting with Twitch) triggers in response to chat commands.

• There is a little bit of blueprint script in my avatar to move him, automatically switch back to Neutral stance, and stop him from moving off the side of the screen.

PSP Mode

I stream a lot of retro games, and wanted to stream off my PSP for the first time! It was an opportunity to do something special with Proto, and I had the idea to literally have him holding a PSP with the illusion that we're looking over his shoulder.

How it's done:

• The PSP sitting pose is an additional stance added to the avatar's main stance group. (not shown in the video: it also has transition anims authored to/from other stances).

• When entering or leaving this stance, the avatar's Blueprint toggles visibility of a skeletal mesh (the psp model), which is attached to a bone on the avatar.

• The zoomed-in PSP framing the video feed is a rendered image from Blender (it does not animate).

I'm really happy with how these features turned out. Plus, they help me improve kemorig, as I run into little annoyances here and there while implementing them.

Hope this was interesting, and can't wait to see more of YOUR creations with kemorig!
