Angles & Body Parameters Advice On Vtube Studio

[ancient zodiac]

Hey all,
So I am currently playing around with the settings for my model in Vtube Studio (started with default as a base and adjusting accordingly from there) and there was something I couldn't quite understand on why it was happening.

Whenever I look to the side, the Body XYZ parameters make full use of it accordingly but my face (set to Angle XYZ parameters) don't make full use of the range and only turn to the side about half-to-three-quarters of the way.
Just for the sake of seeing what would happen I thought to set the physics on max - that fixed the AngleXYZ problem but then the body went (hilariously) crazy.

Does anyone know what I need to do to try and fix this? Thank you for your time.

Heya! does this also happen with the default models like akari?

the ones that come with the program

Im not sure 😅

if the answer is "no", then i will advice to contact your rigger. Body angles are not something standarised to rig, with that I mean theres many different ways to go about them when rigging em

so asking your rigger for help setting em up is highly encouraged, they know your rig better than any of us

try it out though from what you describe my advice is trying contacting your rigger and ask for advice to them

Fortunately Im the rigger 😄
Unfortunately Im fairly new to rigging

My last model I had the head angles set to Body XYZ but this time I went with AngleXYZ as it was shown/talked about by more experienced riggers

if you want both parametrs to move in sync, make sure the input params in vts have the same range. Though it will depend a lot if you rig the body with physics or not and what are the physics inputs and their output strength/serttings

yeah, head should be in anglexyz

You could also adjust the parameter values to match the range that the tracking is reading to make sure it uses full span of what you've rigged.

🤔 I did link Augmentation to the head angles and noticed it restricted the movement quite a bit there; so maybe thats why

Augmentation (from memory as Im not at my pc atm) reacts to BodyXY so maybe thats why BodyXYZ hasnt been affected?

Adjust the *input param values

[brisk terrace]

depends on how you set up the augments tbh, to me it sounds like either the input param range is incorrect (like both isos and i are suggesting) or just general physicis settings

[ancient zodiac]

Sounds like I have a bit of fixing up to do, thanks for pointing me in the right direction 😊

Just wondering, why are AnglesXYZ for head angles? Why not just have it all on BodyXYZ if the model follows the same direction anyway? Is it so the range for head angles can differ to the body? 🤔

[brisk terrace]

angles = head
body = body

its just standards on how it works, cant tell you why exactly it just is its so in theory the body input could be independant of the head input, though most of the time it ends up being thge same but its good to split em and give the choice if wanted/needed
