Project GYOOOL
My work usually has to do with virtual environments and experiences, but I’ve always believed that characters and people are the #1 factor that bring them to life.
I’ve been a lifelong singer and have been meaning to start my own Vtuber channel.
So I finally built my own avatar from scratch, ready for live production.

Character Design
I began with her story:
A space traveler who fell in love with the past.
With future technology, GYOOOL(like yule) transmits her cover of old songs into the past via someone’s YouTube channel.
I mixed elements of Hanbok(Korean dress) with future techwear and sprinkled some Frutiger Aero vibes.
Technical Setup
This is a demo of my facial expression and hand movements moving the character in real time.
Setting up AR kit Blendshapes to make clear expressions was a key process.
Technical Documentation
As my first avatar project, I had a lot to learn about how it is set up technically.
I wrote documentation to help my own learning and future self.
First Production
This was the first production, set up and filmed in Warudo.
