Kawaii Live2D model was created.

Hello everyone!

Recently, I have been thinking a lot about how to proceed in the future, and in parallel with that, I had commissioned the creation of a Live2D model for Shoost. And it's finally done!

The reason why I created Live2D models is because many Vtubers use Live2D models in Shoost, and I thought it would be easier to find ease of use while moving the characters if I had my own Live2D models. In addition, I plan to make promotional videos in the future, so I needed a mode...

Distribute images for backgrounds. v3

Hello everyone.

I'm distributing backgrounds again, as I regularly make backgrounds for AI drawings!

We search the screens of everyone who uses Shoost every day, so based on that, we will pick up backgrounds that we think you might need and distribute them.

You can use them for video distribution and commercial use. However, redistribution of the backgrounds as they are is prohibited. (You are allowed to make a screen that combines this background with your character and sel...

Looking Back at Past Works vol.1

Hello everyone.

I started this to look back at what I have done while looking at the works I have made and uploaded to Twitter. I'll try to put it all together with some thoughts and some brief commentary!

I was actually going to do everything I've done so far all at once, but it's become a huge amount of work, so I'll be making separate articles.

- 2014 -

I started uploading my work using Unity and other tools in about 2014.

What I am going to do next.

Hello everyone!

I'm suddenly freelancing and have been going to talk to a lot of people lately.

Not only that, but we are also preparing to update Shoost.

Rather than developing blindly, we are first compiling and researching how it is used, what is needed, and what needs to be done.

Glad so many of you used it! Thank you very much.

I'm compiling a list of how you guys a...

An easy way to erase unwanted areas.

Hello everyone.

I've been trying to create background images using AI recently, and in many cases, information is even drawn that is not necessary. I have had many times when I thought, "If only I could erase a part of the background, it would be a good background.

This is a great tool to use in such cases!

This is a web service called Cleanup.

Distribute images for backgrounds. v2

Hello everyone!

It seems that more people are using the background images I distributed before than I expected, so I'm distributing new background images!

You can use them in your video distribution and for commercial use. However, redistribution of the backgrounds as they are is prohibited.

This time, we have prepared more indoor backgrounds. Please play with them in various ways!

I went freelance.

Hello everyone.

The company I was a part of has dissolved!

I spent 9 years as an employee and had a lot of experiences. I received an Oculus DK1 on the day I joined the company and that's when I started learning VR and Unity. It was a very stimulating and fun company to work for!

The sudden dissolution of the group has made me anxious, but your support money has helped me a lot. Thank you so much!

It's no use being anxious at this point, so I'm thinking this will be a ...

Distribute images for backgrounds.

Hello everyone.

Recently, an AI called midjourney is very popular.

I made an image for the background using midjourney, thinking that I could use it in combination with the background of Shoost. It turned out better than I imagined, so I'm distributing it to my supporters.

You can use it for distribution or video creation.

I tried a lot of things with Unity HDRP.

Hello everyone.

I usually make a lot of Toon-style (anime-style) works, but I thought I should try making realistic works once in a while, so I tried various HDRPs in Unity, which I have been curious about for a while, as a way of studying.

This article is more of an introduction to what I tried rather than an explanation.

What is HDRP?

Simply put, it delivers high-quality graphics.

Development status of Shoost v0.1.7

We're hard at work on the Shoost v0.1.7 update right now!

The direction of the update has been decided, and now we are in the process of finalizing it!

However, it is taking longer than expected because of the need to reorganize the UI as the number of functions has increased.

Also, as the number of functions increases, so does the processing load, so we are working on ways to reduce the load. (I'd rather just add functions without thinking about it...)

However, we are...

I started developing apps, something I've always wanted to do!

Now that I have a rough idea of what it will look like, I'd like to give a little introduction.

In short, it is a tool to add various effects to your favorite images.

Unlike PlayAniMaker, the app itself does not have character control, but instead allows you to take your favorite screen and add various special effects (A...

Happy New Year!

Happy New Year!

Last year, we were able to create many things with your support. Thank you very much!

At the end of the year, I looked back on the works I've created so far, and made a summary video.

I started the new year wondering what I would make this year. I haven't decided what I'm going to make yet, but I'm hoping to make something different from my previous works.

I hope to enjoy making things this year as well!

I hope to see you all again this...

Try capturing movement using a webcam.

I tried PlayAniMaker to see if I could capture the movement of my lower body using a web camera. I couldn't do it very well because my legs were shaking violently.

What I am aiming for is visual expression. That's why I don't want my legs to shake so I can't concentrate on the screen, so I try to think...

Autofocus function.

I used Unity to create the Autofocus function.

Next, I'm thinking of applying this to create an autofocus function suitable for Anime expressions. It's still in the conceptual stage, so I'm not sure if it will work, but I'll do my best.
