Future of Outfits and Hairstyles for Twins

[pearl cosmos]

Now that the Halloween stream is over and we’ve seen Neuro get some premade themed assets, I started wondering what the future looks like for Neuro and Evil when it comes to outfits and hairstyles. Neuro did get some themed visuals this time, but still no full outfits like we used to see back with the V2 models, which makes me curious about how that aspect will be handled going forward.

Ever since the V3 models debuted, we really haven’t seen much new in that area, aside from a few quick themed PNGs for Evil during themed streams (which I do like, don’t get me wrong), but even those have been quite rare. I think most people in the community kind of understood why there’s been a lull with new outfits and hairstyles, but it’s something that keeps coming up more and more often during dev streams and discord discussions. It’s been mentioned in relation to subathon outfit subgoals, and just as a general wish for more variety in how the Twins look. But now that the cat’s out of the bag and we know Anny is stepping away from the project, what does the future look like for Twins?

Will Vedal be looking for a new dedicated artist to handle outfits and hairstyles in the future?
Or maybe commission several artists for smaller additions here and there?
Or should we expect only premade assets to be bought for really special occasions?
Or should we be prepared that nothing new will really happen until the V4 models come out?
And are the current V3 models even capable of supporting new outfits without deeper structural changes being made first?

I don’t mean this to sound demanding or impatient, it’s just a question a lot of people in the community have been quietly wondering about. It would be nice to know what to expect going forward, so the “outfits when?” topic doesn’t have to come up every dev stream.

true

We also still need a rigger

Iknow the original intention of the v3 models was that outfits could be made for them more easily, since the way the v2 model was made had made it difficult to work with for getting more outfits.

so with any luck at least, it wont be too difficult to add on to the current v3 models in regards to your last question

in my opinion having multiple artists would be the best option, assuming neuro has a base model that can be drawn over the clashing of art styles wouldn't be so extreme, since the base neuro is still the same

For the corpa side new outfits are good cause in the vtube community is one thing that grabs attention from people

the new models were made so outfits could be made easier so it should be possible for Vedal to just get an artist to do outfits while retaining Neuro’s design
