This update adds Web-Items to VTube Studio.

A Web-Item[github.com] is essentially a full web browser, available as an item in VTube Studio. They can be moved, rotated and pinned like normal items but display a website that you can interact with.


Web Items are basically like "OBS Browser Sources", just directly in VTube Studio.

You can use them to display and pin pretty much anything you want directly in VTube Studio... donation goal trackers, chat boxes, videos, any other fancy stream widgets... the possibilities are endless!!

The following features, bugfixes and improvements were also implemented:

• Support for the Live2D Cubism Editor API[github.com]. This allows VTube Studio to directly send tracking data into the Live2D Cubism Editor. This makes it much easier for model riggers to test physics setups without repeatedly exporting the model.
  
• Added tooltips to some of the main menu options and config options. Tooltip coverage will be expanded in the future to hopefully make the UI a little less confusing.
  
• Fix for issue where VTS watermark would show up even when DLC was purchased.
  
• API: New API for controlling post-processing effects[github.com].
  
• Emote-Dropper: Support for renamed emotes.
  
• Many smaller bugfixes.

• VNet: Increased max. collab participants to 6

More info about the effects can be found here: https://github.com/DenchiSoft/VTubeStudio/wiki/Visual-Effects

This update removes the experimental "Glitch" distortion effects, as some people have pointed out this could cause issues with Twitch TOS and VTuber artist/rigger TOS.

This update adds built-in post processing to VTube Studio, including effects such as bloom, backlight, lens-distortion and many more!!!

You can create effect presets and switch between them using visual effect hotkeys. It's a lot of fun, please give it a try!! (some examples below)

For more info, check out this page: https://github.com/DenchiSoft/VTubeStudio/wiki/Visual-Effects

Other stuff that was added:

• Post-processing (see above)
  
• Spout2 Background, a special background that accepts Spout2 video streams and puts them as background in VTube Studio. Windows only. Be careful not to show any personal info if you use this!!
  
• VNet: File upload/download rate limiting. With this, you can set upload/download speed limits to make sure big/long uploads don’t lag your VNet connection (or in the worst case break it entirely). Useful for users with low-bandwidth internet connections.
  
• WebP "support". When you drag in WebP images (.webp) or put them in the “Items” folder, they are automatically converted to .png so they can be loaded in VTube Studio. WebP HATE!!!!!
  
• API: You can now load arbitrary data as item (JPG/PNG) using the ItemLoadRequest after getting special permissions from the user. Also, you can now use the API to pin items to the model and get notified when the model or items were clicked. For more info, check the API documentation: https://github.com/DenchiSoft/VTubeStudio

More info on Spout2 Background can be found here: https://github.com/DenchiSoft/VTubeStudio/wiki/Spout2-Background

The following bugfixes and improvements were also implemented:

• Monthly backup warning. A popup is shown once a month to remind you to backup your models. Seriously, do it.
  
• Fixed bug that made 7TV emotes not work in emote dropper and Twitch chat scroll.
  
• Temporarily force VTube Studio to always start in fullscreen mode on macOS 14.2 because there is currently a macOS bug that makes VTS not register clicks in window mode on that new macOS version.

• Advanced Lipsync for macOS, Windows, Android and iOS using uLipSync by hecomi.
  
• Added new Twitch functionality: Twitch Chat Scroll, lets Twitch comments fly through VTube Studio.

The following minor changes/improvements were also made:

• Circle-buttons now auto-hide if "show controls" is turned off.
  
• Show warning if multiple hotkeys use the same key combination.

This update fixes an issue where the webcam tracker would no longer work when there were any non-ascii characters in the VTube Studio path, for example Japanese, Chinese or Korean characters.

I apologize for the inconvenience.

If there are any issues with this or any future updates, please report them directly in the VTube Studio Discord so things can get fixed as fast as possible.
