- Attach to your Model Drag the item over your model. A pin icon will appear, allowing you to attach it directly to your model's movement.
- Between-Layer Pinning You can pin items to specific ArtMeshes! When pinning, select "Pin to ArtMesh" to sandwich an item between layers (e.g., placing a hairpin under the front bangs but over the face).
Recoloring Models & Items

- Fixing White Outlines If you edit a texture externally and notice white borders appearing in VTube Studio, go to the model settings and toggle "Fix white outlines" for that specific ArtMesh.
