methodology for ML virtual camera for vtuber model, if it happens
If Vedal ever decides to let a ANN control the live2d/other model instead of longer loops, here is a method he can use (that is, if he can't mod live2d, since I assume their TOS says no reverse engineering. A plugin could be possible though). All together, this functions similarly to an autoencoder.
Avatar control model (suppose you could also hook this directly into live2d if possible)
-> purpose: turn emotions, actions, etc. into a numerical representation of what it would look like for live2d
- OUTPUTS: Same as inputs for the camera fake (some of those can even be moved here), plus:
-- Arm preset
-- pupil shape preset
-- other quick actions
Inputs: - emotion/actions, such as "check chat", "sad", "thank", "wink", "laugh", "nod"
- speech parameter (makes mouth movements for speech)
