I'm using Photoshop for the pixel art and divide them into layers, just like how a usual vtuber are made and then rig them up in Live2D, this was the first full body vtuber project I've done since I tried making vtubers.

I was actually shocked on how easy it is to start making full body vtuber as long as you got the basic done, especially angles. One thing I learn is that there's a lot lot of new things to learn like body delays using pendulumn and multiple parameters and physics setup, and also how body Y is a really great way to express intimacy for the model.

Hopefuly I can finish it soon. I'm planning to use it myself for streaming since I already have my chibi model I made a couple months ago, but don't get me wrong I will constantly improve it if I have times, if you do have question or suggestion to me, please do tell me in the comment :)

Hi so I've been wanting to get into streaming! I made a vtuber on VRoid and shes fully rigged and everything

but uh how do I connect a vtuber to my camera? Is there a specific program I should use??

please help I'm extremely new to this :,(

I wanted to give more people a freely accessible way to become pngTubers with lots of customizability.

CURRENTLY Becuase of the complexitys of scratch I would have to manually code each character but I'd be happy to help some people out!

If you only need a simple blink + talk cycle that most softwares are built for, I could put that together in like 5 minutes

I will likely have short tutorials in the the future to help people not require my manual help

If you want you are welcome to try messing around with and changing ones already on the list in the link, though if you are not familiar with scratch it may be hard to understand

Scratch works smoothly in the backround and can be cropped with a green screen (there are test characters made)

I can do many motions like timed/random blinking/actions, moving mouths with based on volume, and some actions that use hidden (your face won't appear on streams) tracking for face tilt movement, and I'm working on a full head movement system within the limits of scratch

Anything requiring the camera is completely optional

I'm fine with somewhat detailed requests but I may decline requests if i see them too complicated or impossible on scratch to do for free

All you would need to be able to use any coded pngs is a free scratch account :) no downloads is the goal!

For clarification all i would be doing is bringing the life to your character via its movement, I don't draw unfortunately, I am not artistically skilled.

Also FOR MODERATERS, I see the no advertising rule but I ask if its ok since its a completely FREE service, I intend to make no money and am here purely to help others with this new png tech, if this is not allowed then I'm fine with you taking it down, reddit jus told me I should post here so I did. ┐('～`)┌

I've been wanting to do her style of vtuber cooking but I was wondering what I might need equipment and tech wise for it?

Heya! Planning on starting with streaming and I wanna make myself a 2d vtuber avatar, I can do the art and all but I'm just tryna find the right program for my needs, the avatar wouldn't have a mouth since the character I will be using just doesn't have that and I wanna mostly focus on like, eye expression tracking in a way where I can make it rly exaggerated and all, either paid or free suggestions are fine ^u^

After 2 long years, SelfReflect is finally live in the App Store! Full body, hand, & face tracking from a single device! I've had a group of early testers using it for about a year who've helped me refine the experience. I hope yall like it.

Works with any standard VMC app (Warudo, VNyan, VSeeFace, Unreal plugins, etc).

Test it out for free, and the unlock is a single purchase. No subscription!

So I know Iphones use IR Tracking for facial Tracking, even I got one, and I know IR Cameras do Exist, but are different and can sometimes interfere with the Iphones.. but do they make hardware and software for a regular IR Camera tracker that can just plug into the computer, and just work as good as an iphone?

If not what would the best estimate for pricing be, if it would at all be cheaper than buying like a used Iphone XR. I know alternative facial tracking software exists like for PC, and Android so it's not locked down but I just don't think the best option should feel like it's only to drop $100 on a used iphone atleast yk?

I have two different scenarios. If I were to use my iphone for just face tracking and a different device and app (webcam or different phone, still deciding) for hand tracking, is there a way to make a keybound toggle to turn on and off just the hand tracking? The second scenario would be one app on 1 iphone that does both hand and face tracking, is there still a way to toggle in and off just the hand tracking? If anyone knows please let me know the nodes and order for it, thank you very much.

I’ve seen a post with the same exact problem but it was never solved so I’m wondering if anyone knows how to fix it

My eye wide expression won’t track, even with my eyes all the way open I can’t get over 0.51 on the parameters, I’ve tried Niviida and media pipe and they both don’t work but it works when I tried using VTube studio on my phone but I can’t use my phone as a webcam

I’ve tried messing around with parameters but nothings working

Hi yall! I have a 3d model and want to venture into doing full body capture streams for JustDance // DDR

I plan to get the 6 SlimeVR trackers for the body & legs and want to use XRanimator web cam tracking for the arms / hands

I'm currently using Vnyan software for the 3d model, would above be possible in vnyan , or is there a better option for hands & arm tracking ( or a better overall approach that's less than 800$)

I'm trying to use a non vr headset approach

I recently made my laptop into a proper setup, as i cant afford a decent PC rn, and would really like to get into Vtubing.

Specs are:

RTX 4070 mobile 8GB VRAM

32GB DDR5 RAM

Core i7

I have a cooling pad to battle potential overheating, a proper monitor, so I can do dual monitor stuff, a decent microphone (fifine a6v) and a decent webcam.

Hello VTubers and fans~

I’m feeling a bit stupid but also at my wit’s end, and this sub was recommended to me for advice on this particular issue.

In short, I cannot get my internet to load once I start streaming on OBS.

If I set up my streams on Twitch and YouTube beforehand, I can still stream just fine, but once I’m live, I can’t load any additional windows like pulling up a game guide or looking up a definition or image.

This is not a specific browser issue, as I’ve tested this with waterfox, firefox, microsoft edge, and ecosia. Same issue.

This problem is entirely new to me, as I’ve been a user of OBS with VTube Studio for many years now. It all seemed to start after I updated OBS to its newest version. I tried uninstalling it and downgrading to a previous version which fixed the problem temporarily, but now it has returned on that version as well.

I stream via a desktop that I built last December, and I’m connected to the internet via ethernet cable.

Once I turn obs off and close the program, the internet returns to full speed within 3 minutes like nothing ever happened.

Has anyone else had this problem, and if so, how did you fix it?

Thank you so much.

Hiya everyone! I stream regularly on twitch and run a pretty demanding setup with lots of programs like Stream Elements, the throwing system, OBS on a 4K recording canvas and a 1440p Enhanced Broadcast canvas, VTube Studio or Warudo based on my 2D/3D mood and more.

I currenly run a 5080 on my rig but want to switch over to Linux, due to personal reasons.

But since compatibility is so vast and far between, I thought of wanting to offload all that work to a dedicated streaming machine that would handle the programs and I'd just connect a capture card between the two and handle the output. This way I can daily drive Linux but have a Windows PC just for handling all the streaming and recording.

I've eyed on many solutions, namely:
1. building a secondary computer (since I have a spare kit of DDR5 32GB SODIMM ram to use
2. get a barebones miniPC with a really good integrated GPU for this workload and then use the RAM for that (HX 370/470, AI MAX 395, etc.)
3. just keep the setup as I have and wait until all programs work under Linux and then migrate

My budget isn't very big (1000 Euros at most), and saving more is definitely a priority. Also to keep in mind in this: I want to use the secondary computer for travel too - I visit my husband every year-ish in the USA so having something portable on top of that would be even better.

I've thought of a ASUS Flow Z13 with the AI MAX 395, but that is very expensive. There's MiniPCs barebone with many different iGPUs that have less performance (which I'm ok with) but also handle the workload for me when recording and streaming. I can also build a super small PC too and put that in my lugagge, but I'm afraid to lose that in travel too - so there's that.

What do you guys reccomend me in terms for that? I'd ideally want to hear if iGPUs could handle this workload and if a HX370 or a 285H would be enough even, or if it really has to need more money in it.

Thank you all and I hope you have a wonderful day.
If you guys have any questions, I'm always free to answer.

I had an issue with Vbridger ever since i upgraded my computer to Windows 11 (Clean install),

My phone would connect, at least it would show it is connected, but it will not move the Vbridger model AT ALL, like all the debug numbers are ZERO, never in my life and through all different computers and internet connections did i have this issue before.

i did sooooo many different things trying to fix it, so before you try my final fix, do give these fixes a go first, it is highly likely your issue is one of those:

- Checking File integrity through steam (Search online if you never done it before)

- Re-installing Vbridger

- Re-installing Vtube studio on my iphone

- Updating my iPhone to the most recent IOS available (my iPhone is XR)

- Restarting computer + iPhone

- Trying another phone (Nothing phone)

- Turning anti-virus off

- Turning Windows Firewall off

- Delete / Reset Vbridger settings, either from the Load, or from %Appdata%

- Turning off Bluetooth (Heard it helped someone for some reason?)

- Checked the Vbridger Discord, Read ~15+ Posts with similar issue, either they didn't find a fix, switched to IFacialMocap, or something from the list above helped them, sadly didn't help me.

And after all those fixed flailed me, I talked to multiple AI to try and solve it.

Luckily, after a long and annoying journey, i found a solution! ｡ﾟ･ (>﹏<) ･ﾟ｡

---[FIX HERE (EDITED) ]---

EDIT: this turned out to be caused by my college account managing the PC. Deleting the key only helped temporarily.

Check Settings → Accounts → Access work or school first and disconnect any account you don’t need. then restart your computer and it should be fine from there.

Hi all I have a Vtuber model that works in vseeface but the mouth tracking isn't the best in my opinion can anyone here improve it if I give them the file or even maybe do it in ARKit blendshapes possibly?

i made a custom model in vroid studio, and i exported it into vrm file, then when i tried to upload it, it just gets stuck here and it never ends up uploading

Can I have PNG tts pet in TikTok live studio and using tikfinity as my tts source?

Currently I'm only live stream in TikTok. I'm new and have zero knowledge but want to upgrade my stream quality. Any help is great. Thank you

I'm trying to use the SteamVR tracking in Vnyan, for a minute it worked well when suddenly it started mixing up rotation imputs :

Nodding movements are tracked as side movements, and the other way around.

I tried restarting the software, and restarting SteamVR, remap the HMD, etc... Nothing works.

Anyone would know why this happens ?

Hi there! I’m new to this subreddit and fairly new to vtubing🩷
I’ve been looking into getting a customizable model after using random premades for awhile. I’d love to be able to customize a model to look more like me or my oc😇

The pc I’m using can’t run the Suiika model and I don’t have the funds for an upgrade,
I’ve been looking at and fell in love with the 2wintails model and was wondering if anyone knew what the pc requirements are on that one?
(I know it says it comes with low res versions of the model so it should be fine but I just really want to make sure before spending that kind of money)

I apologize in advance for my complete lack of knowledge on all things computers lol (my boyfriend helps me with all the tech stuff) if it’s any help, I stream from my ps5 with a capture card but we run vtube studio and obs through the pc.

Thank you in advance for any help 🩷

Found this nice tutorial how to generate a not cursed 3D avatar for those on a budged https://prompt-faqs.notion.site/Create-a-3D-VR-chat-avatar-multi-tool-3e6024c0a17e804d9da1d86639601c44

I know a vtuber that I worked with for two weeks that used a 2d model to kind of mimic what a 3d one does, and I was wondering if that was also possible, Using this image here

Basically having the arms move, The tail ect, Giving it enough bounce that nobody would really expect to to actually be a 2d image if that makes any sense?

Hey all!

I've been looking for methods of how to do this for the better part of maybe 6 months now. Before conceding to having to do this via switching to 3d models, I wanted to reach out here to see if anyone could help and maybe find a solution I may have overlooked, or a lead to look into.

I've attached a video explaining and showing what I'm trying to do, but to explain it here:

I'm looking for a way to move Live2d items in vtube studio (or another Live2d compatible app) via hotkeys without the program unloading/reloading the item in a different position.

- Ellidea (The fairy) is intended to be like a mascot/chat interactable, and so she is loaded in as a Live2d item while I use my personal model, Keaqui, for my own movements and such.

- She has her own hotkeys in her model settings to slide her around the screen as I show working with Keaqui, however they do not work while she's loaded in as an item. (All her other hotkeys work fine - If she is pinned to me she follows my model movements around the screen as you'd expect pinned items to do.)

- Using hotkeys to load Live2d item scenes instead unloads her from her current position and reloads her in the destination position/size/pin, however since she is a full model vtube studio lags and everything freezes until she's reloaded in.

- I have tried using VConnect, however it doesn't seem to have a way to load Live2d models as items itself, detect the ones vtube studio has loaded in, and asking in their support Discord only produced another person looking to do the same thing but no solutions/leads to follow.

- My model mama is looking into something regarding a rigging solution, where a parameter involving her root (or something) can be modified in the model settings via the expression editor to make it appear as if she's sliding, but even if that's something we're able to do on the rigging side, that'll still get pretty complicated when it comes to creating and fine-tuning her placement with that method.

- I've started looking at programs other than vtube studio, but am hesitant to really try any unless there's a good chance it can do what I'm looking for instead of running off on another wild goose chase.

If anyone knows of a plugin for either vtube studio or vconnect that can achieve what I'm going for here, I'd be very interested! Otherwise any leads would be greatly appreciated! Thank you all so much for any help with this problem!

Greetings! My husband & I are thinking of starting a casual/for fun VTube show while we play WoW:Forever - I am here doing market research to see what I can learn & where to start in this process!

I saw the guide & will read over it all but I also wanted to ask some pointed questions to help steer me in the right direction out the gate:

• Software: What are the go-to free programs for everyday streaming, recording, and uploading? (Is OBS Studio still standard?)
• Dual-PC Setup: How can two people on separate computers stream together into one single Twitch account with individual webcams and tracking?
• Non-Anime Avatars: Our concept characters are a Tauren female and a Worgen male. What free or budget-friendly tools (under $100 max hopefully) handle non-human, anthropomorphic 3D tracking? Or should we do 2D... having a hard time understanding/deciding which way to go.
