VRCFTnyan is now a beta! It's also changed a lot from the alpha and requires a minimum #VNyan version of 1.6.6.
The external EXE is now only used to initialise VRCFT then is closes! Data is now sent direct to VNyan via OSC
#VTuberTech
Early alpha of my new plugin is out! VRCFTnyan lets VNyan talk to VRC Face Tracking and by extension supports basically every VR face tracker out there for your ARKit VTuber!
However I only have a mouth tracker, no eye tracker, so I can't fully test it!
It turns out there were no actual issues in NyanSaber 0.7, the problems lay elsewhere, so I've done new releases of VNyan-MixItUp and StreamStartingTimer instead.
VNyan-MIU:
Fixed issue with unicode encoding when sending messages
Removed integration with my old debug plugin, log to player.log instead
StreamStartingTimer:
Fixed potential unicode issue when running MixItUpCommands
Updated Spout.NETcore to 2.7.17. Previously this was on 2.7.15 with a manually downgraded Spout.dll to work around a bug

StreamStartingTimer 1.0-RC2 is out.
You can now define a start time (e.g. 5mins) for the progress bar This means the appearance of the progress bar is consistent between runs, for at a glance checks
Cleanup window appearance and positioning
Added an app icon (it isn't very good)
NyanSaber 0.7 is out. It turns out that the bug with the Menu trigger not getting called only applied at LogLevel3, and it's because the code to remove the base64 songCover PNG from the logs would crash if the beatMap JSON was null.
Full test in tomorrow's Beat Saber stream
Following that 4 hour test stream, LIVnyan 1.2 is now the official latest release.
Proper announcement post tomorrow because I can't words right now. I am exhausted
A brief clip to showcase things you can do with Nyansaber 0.4.
My VTuber model colour changes to match the map, and later a glitch effect is applied when I hit the wall.
The plugin just generates VNyan nodes with info, so you can do what you like
There are two other plugins in use here:
LIVnyan. My solution for streaming VR games with VNyan as your model renderer
Jayo's Poiyomi Plugin. For changing Poiyomi shader parameters at runtime from within VNyan
Strange request: does anyone know of any PNGTuber software that can track whole-head movements? For example, if my head is tilted down, I’d want to show a whole separate set of images compared to when it’s facing the camera. I’ve found software that does facial expression recognition, but that’s a bit too static without the head (and preferably eye) movements. #vtuber #pngtuber #vtubertech
Testing was good. Pushed NyanSaber v0.3 to GitHub.
For now all it's pulling is song stop/start/pause etc. and sending song info when the song starts. Eventually I hope to pull lighting data.
Please read the release notes, especially if upgrading!

Current before/after progress on SkyRose's hair and shaders. I can see a few bits I want to improve, but really happy with the shader work and the physics. I just need to tweak some parameters, and possibly convert the front left hair section to a bone cloth.
Anyone wanna comission me to do their hair lol?
0.7 of my Stream Starting Timer is out, and unless there's any issues I haven't spotted this will become RC1 next week
- Automate events in #VNyan and #MixItUp (e.g. Twitch ads)
- Use images as your clock font
- Spout2 output
- 100% FOSS, no monetisation
Changes:
- Convert images to RGBA at load time instead of run-time
- Only re-draw digits that have actually changed
- VNyan and MixItUp connections moved to self contained classes
- Use data bindings for connection status labels
- Check all PNGs are present before loading an image font
A little behind the scenes, here's all the trackers I wear IRL, and how they're handled in #VNyan. I'm also using LIVnyan, Lunazera's camera prop and Sjatar's screenlight plugin
Beta 0.3 of my Starting Timer is up. This brings a big improvment to the config screen, removing clutter from the main UI.
The integration with #VNyan and #MixItUp is unchanged in this release.
Released v0.1 beta of my Stream starting timer. You can add a countdown to your stream starting scene, and fire off #VNyan or #MixItUp events at specified times, or run an external script.
Customisable, No ads, no monetisation, lightweight exe (around 1mb), just greenscreen it in OBS!
Things you can do in #VNyan with my free #VTuberTech resources:
Render your #VTuber in #VR with VNyan
Integrate with #MixItUp
Launch EXEs
Advanced loops
Search nodes from cmd
Trigger nodes from cmd
Live logging (alpha)
Disable window resize
Make the camera hor+
Improve Fugi reactives (non-VNyan)
LIVnyan v1.1 is released. Only change is that when it's enabled in VNyan, VNyans physical camera properties are disabled to match LIV which can't use this. This should resolve hand alignment issues, e.g. sabers in Beat Saber
LIVnyan is now listed in the #VNyan resource browser, and it's had several weeks of testing, so I've pushed a 1.0 release, replacing RC2
There are only minor cosmetic changes, so there is no compelling reason to upgrade from RC2. It's just to remove the scary "prerelease" label
NyanSaber 0.2-beta is out. It's now a usable plugin but only lightly tested. VNyan can now get events for song start/end/fail/quit/pause/unpause and you get a load of song metadata and info about the colour scheme (e.g. to use with Jayo's Poiyomi Plugin)
Best used alongside LIVnyan
LIVnyan 0.4 is out. It now has proper logging at the LIV end, and more importantly comms are now done with shared memory instead of UDP, which is far more efficient and faster.
It works for me, please check it out and let me know if it works for you!
