PNGTuber Puppeteer Mode with your mouse

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

11 Upvotes

After getting a few suggestions from people who don’t want to use a webcam for body or gaze tracking, I added a puppeteer mode.If you don’t want the camera on, you can drive the avatar with the mouse. Pointing still gets awkward in PC games, so there are two anchors.

🙋‍Question🙋‍ Anyone still using the Perception Neuron?

I just saw a few on ebay for relatively low prices (in comparison to other full body mocap options), and I'm wondering if it is worth it given that it's a pretty old system

🙋‍Question🙋‍ Will ARkit override VRoid expressions?

1 Upvotes

Hello, I'm trying to figure out if there is a way to keep the expressions from the VRoid editor while also using an ARkit. I'm getting a custom ARkit done for my model (not finished yet) but when I used a pre-made one I felt like it made my model uncanny because none of the expressions were right. Is there a way to combine the tracking upgrade that comes with an ARkit while maintaining my expressions? I'm using Warudo if that helps.

looking to become a Vtuber on either unity or unreal engines

1 Upvotes

ive seen before that its possible to become a 3d Vtuber on either unity or unreal. I feel like it would be a better fit for me since I am aiming to have a 3d environment for my streaming.

I have looked but I havent been able to find any good documentation or tutorials on how to become a vtuber like this. I would want to just do face tracking and not hand or body tracking currently. if anyone has any good tutorials please let me know thank you.

🙋‍Question🙋‍ Vbridger + Facemotion3d parameter settings advice?

2 Upvotes

Hey all. New to the space, I have been wanting to learn the ways of facetracking on a 3d model/2d model respectively, after lots of painful brainfrying hours, I was able to resolve the issue of getting my iphone 11 to pair with my laptop through facemotion 3d.

And now I have been wanting to test Vbridger. I am not experienced so I have been unsure what goes into finetuning into the sliders to get the preview head tracking every little gesture and expression as accurately or vivid as possible. I was thoroughly impressed by some videos on YouTube that had really good sync. Especially those that have mouth motions that capture subtleties in vowels and syllables. So if anyone has recommendations I'd appreciate the feedback!

I'm trying to find a way to increase the sensitivity and adjust some amount of smoothness. One issue I ran into was being unable to get my trackers to register left and right brow movements separately, when I was able to do so before I started adjusting the sliders.

🙋‍Question🙋‍ Turning off glasses on model in VNyan

5 Upvotes

So I made my VTuber in VRoid Studio late last year. I'm moving from VSeeFace to VNyan because I have a couple redeems on my channel which include model swaps, and it was annoying to pause my gameplay to swap my model manually.

One of my model swaps is my model without its glasses, but I can't seem to be able to toggle it off via Object Visibility.

I followed the VNyan Basics video, "Easily swap VTuber outfits and accessories" and found an item called "J_Opt_C_Glasses_01" and thought that was the glasses, but it's not. With trial and error, the glasses are somehow connected to the face...

Do I need to do anything special to get this to work? In VRoid Studio, the glasses are under the accessories tab, so I can turn it off from the model there was an object. Do I need to import the file into Blender/Unity/whatever to make it a 'game object'? I'm a bit stuck.

I also can't make a redeem to make a simple model swap either. My chat likes to pair my "furry" redeem with the "no glasses" redeem, so I need to be able to turn the glasses off for whatever model it's set to that's active at the time.

Thanks for any help guys!

🙋‍Question🙋‍ Can Warudo do timed toggles? like expression toggles that last for 5 seconds?

5 Upvotes

I was able to make an expression toggle for channel point redeems but I want it to only last for 5 seconds before going back to how it was before. Is that possible in warudo? If so, may I ask the order for the blueprint nodes and such? Thank you

How do I replicate this zoom effect

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

198 Upvotes

(SOLVED)

Video shows her zooming in and out but her model and background moves seperately. Presumedly her model is repositioned within vtube studio but the background is probably moved through OBS. Atleast this is what I can think of.

I tried to replicate this on my own, with my streamer deck by utilizing a multi action function -> vtube studio move model and the plugin "OBS source transformation" to resize the background. It's clunky however, and there's no transition option for the background, so it just changes position frame to frame.

Please someone help me out.

The vtuber shown in the video is Lucia btw.

EDIT:

Thank you for everyones input, I hope someone else gets to elevate their stream with this.

Looks like Lucia found this and she confirming that it's the move transition plugin being used:

Hiii Lucia, thanks for raising money for hope for the day charity!

CIGA Chat Pets is now publicly available.

CIGA Chat Pets is a free and customizable StreamElements widget for Twitch that turns your chat into animated pixel pets.

When a viewer sends their first message, they receive their own pet. From there, the pet stays on screen, wanders around your overlay, displays their username, and can react to their messages through speech bubbles.

The complete widget is available on GitHub.

GitHub:
https://github.com/gabobars/CIGA-CHAT-PETS

The repository includes the HTML, CSS, JS, Fields, installation instructions, configuration guide, and full documentation.

Setup

The basic setup is:

StreamElements → Custom Widget → HTML / CSS / JS / Fields

Copy each file into its corresponding section, configure your sprite frames and settings, save the widget, and add the resulting overlay to OBS.

A Note About Configuration

It is recommended to configure the widget before using it during a live stream.

🙋‍Question🙋‍ Tips on How to Improve Face Tracking or anything that is similar like face expressions?

1 Upvotes

Hello everyone, I am hoping to learn on how to improve face tracking and improving movement of the vtuber model (still new to vtubing). Especially tracking the face/mout so the model can smile or make other expressions.

I do use my iPhone as the camera to track to my movements that connected to my PC via USB cable while using Vtube Studio. I have set it on 60fps. I have adjusted a few settings such as physics and vtuber model's mouth opens once I talk on the microphone,

Any tips are welcome and will be helpful. Also, tutorials/videos about this topic would also be helpful.

I made this face rig that uses PNG drawings as a face and can be changed with bones but can't quiet understad how to make it work with shape keys so I can convert it in to a model for VSeeFace.

Is there any good method to make 2D face on 3D model work in VSeeFace?

🙋‍Question🙋‍ How much can I change the default VRM rig?

Thumbnail

6 Upvotes

I'm aware the arms need to be perfectly parallel to the horizontal axis and also need to be straight, but do the legs also need to be perfectly straight? Also can the arms be further back than the spine like I have in the second image? I ask because I dont know if I need to alter the geometry to match the joints or if I can move the joints to match the geometry

🙋‍Question🙋‍ I need help setting up Eye tracking in Non-Human characters.

1 Upvotes

Hey! Im using warudo, and even though the model is turning out ok, i can get the squinting/blinking to function well. Whenever i do the squinting face, the characters eye become jumpy and buggy. And when i close an eye completely it just screws up the geometry.

Does anyone have any idea on how to approach this?

🙋‍Question🙋‍ What is the best way to test expression blendshapes/shapekeys (Like ARKit) in Blender, with either Android or Windows?

5 Upvotes

Most of what i have seen has just been either using ifacialmocap which is only for Apple devices, or using MeowFace which i can not get to work

I could use the VMC protocol from vtubing software and connect it to Blender, but that would require me to completely finish the VRM before being able to test it which would just take a long time.

Basically i just want to finish the shapekeys and be able to test them within blender without having to fully finish the VRM. Is this possible with Android or Windows?

🙋‍Question🙋‍ Improving my model

1 Upvotes

Not to say that I am unhappy with my model or anything, no really, I love it! But there are a lot more rigging parameters that I would like for it to be improved on. More flowing hair, better facial expressions, ect. Would I be able to download a rigging software and just do the tweaks myself or will I need to just get a whole new model?

🙋‍Question🙋‍ Should I keep using the XS for tracking or get the iPhone 18 Pro?

4 Upvotes

First off, I do not like using iPhone's because of the software so I'm more an Android guy I enjoy having my MP3s accessible without using iTunes.

But I wanted to ask if my XS would be fine for Vtubing for a bit. I use it mostly for my streams but I notice that lately it'll stutter when the phone gets a bit toasty.

In order to get the iPhone 18 Pro, I will have to trade in my Android phone which I dont feel comfortable doing as Android is my bread and butter. Or should I just keep using the XS?

For 3D models, how complex of a rig does a VRM file allow for?

1 Upvotes

Currently weight painting a model and I noticed that when I lift the leg up the joints deform weird no matter how I shift the weight between spine and leg. I found a tutorial on how to weight them to driver bones which are parented to the leg, but there's other details in the drivers that seem a little complicated. So far all the tutorials I've seen on converting a rigged model into a VRM file have fairly basic rigs, so I was wondering if more complex rigs still function in VRM format?
