In previous versions transform rotation was inherited by child parts, but in the latest version (13.1) it doesn't work anymore. I don't know if it was intended, but it made adjusting rotation motions better (I used it to make an appendage rotate 6 degrees and offset it's rotation to -3 to make it centered).

While in the same topic, would it be possible to have an option to stop mouse tracking when the part is hidden? (I'd love to use empty layers to turn on-off mouse tracking of certain parts using states hehe).

Thanks ❤

Hello! Been playing with this and it's been a fantastic transition from learning/using a previous application, and the features on this one has been awesome.

So about the "Control States via HTTP", I noticed that when two windows are open, the web requests only apply on the first window that was opened.

Currently the method I trigger this is by Stream Deck via the "Web Requests" plugin, and this the configuration to make it work.

So it works, just when I open a second window, it continues to only work for the first window. I run two windows of two characters, so that's why I noticed this, haha. Couldn't find a way to DM to share directly.

Thank you again!

Yesterday I managed to do my initial idea of toggling between two mouse tracking states, but I've found some caveats in the way:

1. My layers with mouse tracking inherit motion mostly in this way (-> = inherits from): Part -> Subtle Motion (no sprite) -> Exaggerated Motion (no sprite). Most of the exaggerated motions inherit from other parts in a branched way, it's a bit complicated :P. Alternating between the two motions work as expected, but today I tried hiding both layer groups to make a new "no tracking" state and it freezes the position of some parts, instead of returning them to the original position (some do return, but only if i go from subtle to no motion, and I don't know why only some of them do).
2. While testing the states I noticed my HTTP requests were being irresponsive some times and I managed to fix it by using 127.0.0.1 instead of localhost. It may be a good idea to change the URL the program suggests (in the hint popup and the copy state option) or to include this info somewhere.
3. If a state is deactivated from the state list (by unchecking it) and it's called using a HTTP request, it will halt all HTTP requests until that state is activated again.

I think that's all I've noticed, I'll let you know if I find any other weird things.

EDIT: Regarding #1, if I discard the "exaggerated motion" layers, then all positions reset properly, I think it may have something to do with stacking empty layers with mouse tracking. I'll try to use a 1x1 transparent image to see how that works later.

Good evening, I'm currently drawing a character to use in this program. I have all the parts of the character separated into layers to have better control and be able to customize it better. But now I'm noticing in these latest versions that if the character breathes (increases and reduces the scale) to create the "breathing" effect. But having the character separated by layers, there comes a point where the "breathing" frequency starts to vary slightly until it reaches the maximum point where all the parts of the character start to move individually until the frequencies synchronize and then the problem happens again. Could you put the breathing effect in the folders as well? This way I can remove the breathing effect from all the layers and only activate that effect in the folder that contains all my layers and in this way all the layers placed inside a group of folders would have the same breathing frequency. Apart from those details, excellent work with this software, I love it. Congratulations.

13.4 Bug Report incoming!

1. Motion Inherit Stretch:
   1. I'm not sure this one is a bug. For clarity I'm going to call a horizontal stretch Squish and a vertical one Stretch.
      I've noticed it works like this: Left to Right and Down to Up cause a Stretch and the oposite movements cause a Squish effect (and the other way around when setting negative strength values).
      In a way, I find that effect weird for horizontal movements. I kind of expected it to do the same deformation when moving either left or right. But I also like the effect it has when moving vertically, I guess it resembles gravity in some way.
      Whether it's a bug or intentional, I'd like to be able to make one axis "symmetrical" (as in doing the same effect when moving left or right/up or down) if possible.
   2. When using this feature, child layers get slightly misaligned temporarily when the deformation is being applied. I've got the feeling it has something to do with how the Stretch effect stores the coordinates, like it needs more resolution, maybe (I exaggerated the settings and applied inherited rotation to be able to take this screenshot showing the misalignment. It's way more subtle/barely noticeable with normal settings).
      
      This doesn't happen with Stretch off.
2. VSync/FPS Limit:
   When trying the new FPS limit I've found some performance issues with Vertical Sync.
   I use two screens, a main 120hz monitor and a second 60hz one (I run RahiTuber on this one). If I turn on VSync, the FPS get limited to 60 as expected and the GPU goes down, but the CPU usage stays the same. It only goes down to normal levels if I turn it off and manually limit the frames per second to 60.
   
   
   I did an experiment with no layers (to be sure of the bare performance) and VSync turned on in both 13.32 and 13.4 and... Yeah, something about it is eating the CPU now:
   

I'll update you if I notice anything else, for now I'll be squishing parts, I'm loving this feature hehe

Hi Rahi, in 13.4 I can bind F13, F14, and F15 as hotkeys to states. However, F16 through F20 don't seem to be able to be bound. Looking into the XML, F13 is key 97, F14 is 98, F15 is 99.  Manually setting the state I want in the XML to what I assume would be key ID 100 for F16 did not work. Possible the key IDs only go up to 99? I've found a workaround for my setup, but just thought you should know. Thank you for your hard work!

I'm also having issues with resizing the window and the program appearing as in a loading status. 
I've tried resizing the window manually and was unsuccessful. Bringing it forward from other windowed applications, running the application in admin mode but the window appears to be in negative screen space when in window mode and unable to return. If I click F11 the screen remains black./transparent and freezes the second screen (if using any).
I've tried restarting my PC and still have issues - not sure if this bug requires a more detailed fix. 

I'm not sure if this is a bug or not, but whenever I mute my mic while talking, my avatar will freeze in the talk animation, rather than be idle. Am I missing something?

Hi ^_^

I downloaded Rahituber, and after accepting the Terms, it crashes whenever I open it. I've tried everything in the FAQ, and it just won't open. Do you have any ideas? 

I just tried installing and running- uninstalling after getting an error and reinstalling... but I keep getting the same error. Trying to update it also gives me an error. I'd never downloaded this before, so I'm not sure what's going on. It shows up for both 64 bit and 34

Noticed a quirk in the latest version using the new "Unload Hidden Textured" feature.  If I used a state to toggle on two layers using the same texture (Two animated sprite sheets used for eyes in my case) one would get replaced with a solid color box.

I was able to fix this issue by Saving the layer set, closing RahiTuber, relaunching RahiTuber, and then going to the problem layers and resetting their file paths and sprite sheet settings.  So far it hasn't been back.

Just wanted to let you know the updated seems to have made some of my layers have blinking ticked ON. So unfortunately my clothes and random items were blinking on and off. At first I didn't know why it was happening but I figured it out today.  ^^;;  I will fix my layers and unclick blinking.  ♥ (Just in case someone else has this issue) 

there seems to be an issue where the talk image automatically unloads after a while of not talking

the file path itself doesn't unload so the image loads in as soon as i talk, but this causes the model to go invisible for a bit, noticeably longer if the filesize is larger, like for spritesheets

Hello again! I tried setting up HTTP state triggers via Mix It Up today, and ended up crashing RahiTuber each time I tried to implement them. I think I did it correctly per this post, but I suspect user error somewhere along the line since no-one else has reported it (I think). I slapped the log file in a pastebin here; I could not find  a .dmp file anywhere, unless I'm looking in the wrong place. I did show how I set them up around 1:51:20 in this VOD, so there's always a chance I did something super obviously incorrect and it's easily noted. It is also very possible I missed a troubleshooting step somewhere.

For reference, I did trigger it through a Stream Deck application as well as through Mix It Up itself, and both methods caused a crash. Let me know if I can dig up anything else helpful!

Hellooo!

I've noticed something inconsistent with blend modes and layer clipping when setting up some shadows.

It looked like the Multiply blend mode was stronger when the layer was clipped (as in it's darker than if it's not clipped), so I did some testing and it seems like blend modes act weird if the layer texture has partial transparency and it's clipped.

Edit: In this example you can see that the clipped layer it's darker and the only different setting is the clipping.

hello! the controller tracking is awesome but i havent been able to get the right stick tracking to work, only left stick and dpad. 

i see the same behavior on both my ds5 and my switch pro controller, with ds4windows both open or closed, and with rahituber run in normal mode or as administrator.

Idle motion has poor aliasing, but talk motion work properly

I think I am having the same issue as derek_Inc. Looks choppy when making smaller or when in the original scale and with scale filter it has gaps between layers. I dont understand why. I am using krita to draw but also pretty new to that app and have been trying some different settings but I really dont understand enough to look in the right places

Without scale filter when making the image huge there are no problems and I also dont see any type of gaps. I dont know what I can try next to fix this issue

Also I dont know if it means anything but my character looks normal and non choppy in veadotube mini and I used the same way of saving my files as I did with the layers for rahitube

Hi, after I made my first PNGtuber (which ended up pretty well with no lag) I tried to make a seccond one (which had a lot less of layers) and for some reason the program goes at something like 10 FPS (or even less).
Is there any way to fix this or "restart" to solve this problem?
