Several animations

[sweet canyon]

I've seen vtubes with multiple animations playing.
Example:

• Idle ear animation
• Reactive tail
• Sparkly eye animation toggle
  All at once

How can all of these exist at once if only one animation can be played at a time?

they are all in the iddle

is not that they have multiple animations running

Is one animation with multiple elements

[sweet canyon]

So if I want several different idle animations that allow reactive ears/tail I have to copy/paste the tail/ear keys

you make everything in 1 iddle

when you crea an iddle file, it will show you all parameters in your model

you can animate as many parameters as you need

I don't think I quite understand...do you have an example?

If I have it correct
There is a master idle animation file that has every idle I could ever want in a big timeline. Then within VTS I have to create another idle, taking bits from the master animation file?

I didn't know you can creat idles in VTS.

i mean you can create in vts but thats not what i mean

In live2D when you make an animation for a model

you will have all parameters of that model listed

so you can animate one or multiple parameters in the same file

once is all ready, you play this animation as Iddle, so it will be running in a loop forever

I think I understand now.

Ear wiggles + dizzy eyes for example. I'll rig both in the same animation file. Export to VTS as an idle so it goes on forever.

If I want ear wiggles + dancing animation then I rig that in a separate animation file. That way I keep the ear idle, but can freely switch animations

usually things like ear wiggles are in physics not in animation

[sweet canyon]

How do you do ear wiggles in physics?

I know they can be linked to blinking or breathing, but using Shylilly for example I don't think hers are linked the blinking or breathing. Is there something I'm missing?

🤔 well im not sure as i dont watch her but it could be that she has then one of the physics inputs in the animation file
