VivaAI Blog #7 Emotions Update is LIVE

Added 2023-08-08 04:00:37 +0000 UTC

This update is great. I've had a lot of fun with it. All characters now have variable emotions that influence their animations. If you talk about scary stories, they will start acting scared. If you start sweet talking them, they will start acting romantic.

There are lots of fun particle systems I added and associated with the emotions to polish the animations:

Some emotion states have special shader effects like the squiggly anime scared lines:

There is a new setting in the character edit menu that allows you to have a default emotional state so that your character can start with a specified emotion. This is saved to the cards you make.

You can use older character cards you made with this update, they will have default settings for emotions if you open it in this version. You can re export your character after you edit it.

This update is compatible with Oobabooga however the emotion generation currently uses OpenAI for the analysis. Oobabooga emotion generation support will be shipped soon.

Stay tuned!
