Ask me about being the best dad ever.

Hmm... Shin_umiushi's the guy who did Coco's New Year's outfit. His work isn't bad, but considering Coco's outfit had that buggy foot shading, it seems some details slip by him.

On the other hand, I would be lying if I said his work is even close to being on par with top tier riggers like Keffiy. Seems like Gura will continue to have the most limited L2D of the bunch.

Edit: also, have some Gen 4 wholesomeness:

He also did Gura and Anya's base designs, so there's a pattern of mistakes and not-great riggings. This is gonna sound mean but I rather wish Cover stopped hiring him.

E:^^^ tbh it might have been used with an expectation that it would get better with time, but it wasn't the case. Also could be that the rigging was done months ago, especially going by the other EN members seeing the outfits a while ago.

Did he do Coco's most recent one too? Would explain some of the more egregious errors if it was a timing issue, they've never released this many outfits close together yeah? The weirdest thing for me is the lack of hairstyles, Gura's rarely uses her accessories, so you can't miss what you don't have.

E2: VVV loving explains everything, considering the backlash, Gura will probably get re-rigged eventually.

Coco 2.0 and Coco Casual are both keffiy. It's why she can move her head so much now.

Gura's cat ears would have been better if her costume reveal was done before Kiara's, Kiara having not just cat ears but a tail too kind of made this a bit less fun. Her new costume is awesome though at least.

Maybe, but...

a) Gura already has a tail
b) Kiara's cat tail looks iffy as gently caress.

E: Coco New Year's doesn't seem to be anybody that posts on twitter. I checked her mama's account for the relevant retweet but there wasn't any.

Are you thinking of Coco's original L2D, rather than her New Year outfit? That one doesn't have a known rigger, aye, and it might even have been done by Cover, which is why Coco wasn't afraid at all to comment on how jank it was.

I noticed that as well. It kinda looks like a flat texture, which is quite jarring compared to the quasi-3D quality the rest of her has.

I was just misled. After crawling through umiushi's timeline some more (took a while) I found the relevant tweet.

It's basically a texture that gets animated by shifting different heights of it to the left or right, like an old-school video-game dragon with a long neck.

Pekora says the new outfit is coming tho. It's just taking a shitload of time. So it's more like cover is probably having trouble making it for some reason or another.

I suppose it doesn't help that expectations were running sky high for Gura's outfit considering we were coming in from an absolutely stellar showcase of L2D rigging for Gen 4 and EN, starting with Coco and going all the way to Ina yesterday.

Had Gura's been the first outfit revealed, I don't imagine people would be crying foul quite as hard (the subreddit had to be locked for new posts for an hour because folks were bitching that much).

Yeah, both Ina and Calli got one hell of a rig (personally I prefer Ina's). Kiara is close to those but it's mostly the sheer kiaraness of it what makes it work. Gura is pretty half-rear end in comparison, not bad, just not at the same level.

Ame's is going to be wild.

When you have them all lined up the difference is pretty glaring. I really hope they take another pass at Gura's rigging since she really likes the outfit. Currently it seems even more stiff then her original. I can only hope that Keffiy rigged Ame's outfit so we can get maximum gremlin energy.

When a company spends weeks hyping a thing up people are allowed to be disappointed when said thing does not live up to said hype. If I gently caress up in my job you'd better believe I'll hear about it. Why would an international entertainment company be any different?

On one hand the guy is an independent contractor, so you can't really put the blame completely on Cover and on the other Cover could have pushed it back (like Luna's) after some QA. At the end of the day it's not something that can't be fixed and would not be surprised if it's sooner rather than later (and by someone else). I also feel bad for Gura's mama, reading about how Gura doesn't have a lot of accessories, especially if Gura didn't ask for them.

The only parts that seemed egregious to me were the cat ear floating off her head a bit and her face being a little flat when she turns to the side. It's nowhere near as nightmarish or disastrous as, say, Roberu's 3D debut, which was actually insultingly terrible.

They could but so far they've only gone after videos that are intentionally trying to stir poo poo. In this case it was a clip from Miko stream that got removed from the original video but they kept it up and put a clickbait title in it. They've also done lovely stuff like intentionally only clip parts of Noel's stream where she was asked if she would collab with Holostars to make it seem like she had a distain for them. This is the second time Cover has copyright striked that channel and I'm hoping for a third.

I know the conversation has mostly moved on but Otakmori is also the one who put up a monetized translation of Aloe's apology video with a bunch of translation errors that led to a bunch of confusion and conflicting narratives during that whole mess and was so bad Hololive put a copyright strike on them to prevent it from spreading especially when they had official subs in the video already. So in short, gently caress Otakmori, they deserve every bit of disdain towards them.
