Frequently Asked
Questions

Q: It is possible to adjust the payment plan?
A: A installment plan of up to 4 month is possible. As long the invoice has not been paid fully, no files will be provided to the Client. Please contact me for further discussions.
Q: My model doesn't move as in the samples you sent me...
A: There are multiple factors which play into how a model moves. The rigging itself, the device for tracking, well callibrated VTS (VTube Studio) settings and the piloting of the model.
VTS parameters MUST be adjusted according to the user. I highly recommend to look up guide on how to optimize your tracking if you do not want to use my calibration support.Please do your research about this! Generally speaking, an iPhone tracking is considerably better than Android. Webcam tracking is very limited if your graphic card is not an RTX.

Q: Can I reserve a slot for your next opening?
A: Slot reservations are currently only available for returning clients and friends. Returning clients have priority in future commission phases if they have a deadline. If you have anything planned, please contact me months prior since my queues can last up to a half year.
Q: Where does the half body model end?
A: Half body ends at crotch/wrist and does not include hands.
Q: How big is the model?
A: A full body model about 8k pixels in height with a dpi of 72. This means the model is not made for printing. If you wish to print your model on a big scale please contact me for further information.
Layer count for a simple design is about 500+. Cookie's model design and her alternative outfit is of average complexity and has about 760 layers.Fiore's nude base model has 382 parts. A more advanced cutting has been used for her model and her textured clothes, resulting in 507 parts with her casual outfit.
