Adachi (VTuber)
Adachi (VTuber)
Adachi is a English VTuber, which started streaming without an avatar on Twitch in 2022, since then she has been using what an alpha version of what she wishes to accomplish with a 3D modeling. Adachi does have a fantasy profile and is mostly just self-reflective of herself [1]. She is an avid anime fan, as well as manga, she can not definitively pick a "favorite" anime so she is creating an exhaustive list Anime Adachi has seen.
Model
Adachi's model is prefabricated in VRoid Studio, mostly overall shape, and hair (For the moment). The model is then brought into Blender to add tweaks and shaping such as nipples, flattening glitchy vertices, posing, and some rigging. Additionally the model is then brought into Unity with the VRM Plugin to modified and tweak springbones, shaders, item rigging (such as my collar). This is how her workflow goes every iteration so if she need to make a change in VRoid she has to go through the entire process all over again (VRoid => Blender => Unity), it is very time consuming especially for an amateur who is new to this.
Model Yuri
Model code named Yuri is a model Adachi started using in July 2023. She noticed the base model of Adachi was bugged (From Blender), also around this time Adachi got hit with Copyright hit from YouTube. A combination of these frustrations lead to Yuri's model being created (Start from scratch) and was simplistic, used based assets from VRoid such as dress and progressed over months as Adachi experimented using Yuri to learn how to rig and weight paint assets in Blender without disturbing the model, along with adding blendshapes to cause new effects. She has since used Yuri almost exclusively for streaming while she continues to learn how to properly adjust colliders and get assets moving properly without clipping.
This created a new workflow: VRoid base nude => Blender to size and adjust assets => Export asset in .FBX format => Unity to attach to Model and apply shader changes if required. Blender can bug VRM0 pretty badly from skin randomly unwrapping in some places or wrapping where it shouldn't to extreme cases like completely blowing apart the model from Root (imagine a face floating away from the body) which Unity does not have a problem with
Q&A
Adachi get asked a lot of questions about certain aspects of her model by viewers, so she will post the most common ones here.
- Q: Why are you naked? Answer: I am not able to find specific clothing that I am looking for and I do not have the knowledge currently to make it myself such as a Sarashi or a "Chinese dress" known as Cheongsam. Additionally I do stream nude on Joystick because I enjoy being nude and find nothing inherently wrong with it, it does not make me a lewdtuber. I do not perform any sexual acts.
- Q: What do your tattoos mean? Answer: My tattoos are lyrics from songs. Please do not refer to them as just lyrics and act dismissive, as someone on the Autism Spectrum I have a very hard time expressing myself and music has helped me throughout my life, the ones I choose to put on my body have a very deep meaning to me.
- [First Tattoo]: "At least I tried..." is from the song "Dancing with the thought of you" by Xeuporia
- [Second Tattoo]: "I'll send out my soul, to worlds more beautiful, but they won't know my heart. It's the darkest part" is from the song "Ricochet" by Starset
- Q: Why does your body look different from your face? Answer: I use 2 different shaders, my body shader has more depth perception expression, where as my face is using the default MToon shader.
- Q: Why the fuck do you have pubic hair on ur model? / Armpit hair Answer: SHUT THE FUCK UP. Next Question.[2]
