I'm not even 30. What are vtubers and pngtubers and all this shit? Pretty sure they aren't potatoes, and those are the only tubers I know.

Streamers who use an animated model (or 2D PNG for the latter) instead of an IRL face camera.

I don't see how that makes them different per se. Its like having a word for people who use their real picture in their profile vs an image vs nothing.

Some of them have a certain.. element that makes them different. That element is usually jiggle physics on the 3D model…

I always assumed that avatars with big jiggly boobs have them to cover up their oversized bodies.

Couldn’t tell you personally. I just do 3D modeling as a hobby but some folks I know from the hobby space do commission work, and apparently jiggle physics on anime boobs is a commonly requested feature.

So you might be able to tell me that vtuber boobs jiggle differently than your models.

It looks more like a mask than a 3D model to me.

Well the only time I ever messed with jiggle physics was to animate a bunch of jello cubes falling from the ceiling, so yeah I’d say that’s pretty different than boobs.
