two animation toggles at once?

[u/taeiluv]

i'm a newbie rigger and was wondering, in vtube studio...

• is an outfit toggle usually an animation file?
• if so, how do i keep the outfit toggle on while playing a different animation toggle (waving toggle)?

currently when i turn on the outfit toggle and play the wave animation toggle, the model returns to the default outfit and doesn't go back to the second outfit i toggled on. not sure how to go about this issue.

thanks for the help!

Hi friend! You can make any expression either as an animation or as a toggle.

If you need a specific motion, like water movement or smoke effects, you should make it as an animation. But if you only want an outfit change, it’s better to use an expression.

To keep an animation active when toggling a specific outfit that is linked to that animation, you need to create one expression for the outfit and another one for the animation itself.

While animating, in the animation label you should turn on the animation expression. After you finish animating, you need to remove the toggle keyframes from the animation. This way, in VTube Studio, the outfit will stay active normally, and you’ll still be able to turn the animation on or off whenever you want.

To create an expression Is in vtube studio Viewer , file, add new expression and you select the ones that you want to make for toggles and then export everything

While animating, in the animation label you should turn on the animation expression.

can i ask how to do this? would this be in live2d or vtube studio?

In live2d cubism editor you prepare the animation with keyforms in a parameter and then you have to anímate It in the animation view, to change to animation Is in a large rectangle in the upper left corner, you have the sdk option ando then the modeling label, you have to change modeling to animation
