  Don't forget to add in the scammer artists and riggers in the mix. So now you look at the cheaper options (which is still a good amount of money) and not event want to take that risk.

  You start to gouge and gate your services behind purity (Which is fancy word for political and social compliance) tests.<br>Leaflit just works on liberating vtubers off it.

  The pricing I can understand for people who are artists and riggers for VTuber models, but when you delay for 7 months and then refund it because you couldn&apos;t get it done, I don&apos;t have any sympathy for &nbsp;those same people being replaced by AI.

  @donpbongwater is currently working on a 3D version of this called Vtuber Pro. It not only creates and rigs models, but replaces your streaming software completely. <br>Not only does it do everything that OBS does, but it can make scenes, allows multiple people to use it at the same time with models or live cams and places them in a 3D world.<br><br>Like you said, this is the beginning for this stuff. It&apos;s only going to get better from here.

  People who control a portion of the market will always blow a gasket when innovation and/or new tech threatens that control.<br>To all the artists and riggers out there, you won&apos;t gain long term sympathy or customers by attacking people for using AI.

  I&apos;m not a fan of AI, but the rigging and artist market is absurd at times. <br>Some more well-known ones charge around +4-5k for a single model. Know one streamer that said they spent over a year in savings for the art and rigging, and they waited about 2-3 years to get it done. <br>There&apos;s also the artists/riggers that limit on what you can do and use the art with, else they&apos;ll DMCA/copyright it. Some ask for % commissions on any item sales with it. Fuck that.<br>I think Ironmouse said she&apos;s put more than 50k on models alone or it was some other big vtuber.

  TBF, compared to actually well-made 3d- and 2d-models, the ai-models DO look like ass. But this tool mainly exists to make the jump from &quot;PNG-Tubing&quot; (No model or cam, just a PNG representing the streamer somewhere in a corner, maybe a GIF for when they are talking) to an actually animated model easier. Cause that jump requires cameras, hardware and software capable of translating whatever movement the streamer is doing to whatever model they are using. That shit is expensive, and even free-to-use models require it.<br><br>Also, for the part of &quot;they lack a personality&quot;...those existed for at least 6 years now. There&apos;s people who paid for ridiculously well-made models and advertising, only to fall off within a few weeks due to a boring personality and an unattractive voice.<br><br>As for the Artists/Riggers? Yeah, quite a few of them felt way to comfortable with being unavoidable microcelebreties. I know at least of one V-Tuber that has tried to get a newer model or even just a touch-up of her old one since...i think 2021... only to get repeatedly ghosted by artists/riggers. This went to the point of her community members gaining the required skills to at least make models for an aprils fools joke BEFORE she got an actual profesionall model (apart from the ancient one, relying on long-since deprecated tech).<br><br>Edit: fixed spelling errors.

  Why do I watch a YouTuber I don&apos;t care about talking about a Vtuber I don&apos;t care about who talks about a vtuber I don&apos;t care about who talks about vtube drama I don&apos;t care about?<br>And why am I training the algo to lead me into these weird places by leaving a comment here? What&apos;s wrong with me?
