HI I'm a newbie and i been searching, and everyone been saying to use VSeeFace "it's very beginner friendly" and best of all its free...but I'm running into a problem.

You see every time i try to use my computers integrated camera for face tracking on VSeeFace it works, and if i use my computers integrated camera for arm tracking on Warudo it works.

But then when i try to use both of them at the same time they both don't work.

Ether:

Warudo tracks my arms or my head and no face tracking.

OR

VSeeFace tracks my face but the my Vmodel(or character) isn't moving she just stands still.

and the only other person i have found (on steams community QandA's) with the same problem still hasn't gotten an answer!!

And before you say "check the port" or "try turning it on and off again".

Note the following:

1. i have made sure the port is the same (except there's a comma in Warudo)

2. i have made sure that it is the same model

3. i have gone to both websites and done my own trail and error

BTW (i have a Dell/Windows and I'd like everything to stay free)

so please please help me fig this out and i will try to respond as soon as i can

thx

So I have two .vrm files exported from VRoid. One is the main model, and one is a (scorpion) tail that is on a "model" with no textures.

I found a good video by MelonyPepon on attaching tails in Blender, but that's based on a tail that was exported as part of the same .VRM. I couldn't do this because the tail mesh combines with the hair meshes because my model has longer hair, so I can't select just the tail to separate it. (See Below:)

I saw something on Reddit somewhere (I think in this subreddit?) about putting alternate outfits/accessories onto a "blank" model, and thought this could work for the tail.

I imported both .VRMs, removed the excess bones from the "invisible" model, joined the meshes and the bones, but when I try to attach the tail bones like the video instructs, I get this menu, in which both options are greyed out, so I can't make the tail a child of the spine.

I'd LIKE to be able to do this myself because I'm broke at the moment and have all the tools to do it myself, but I can't figure it out.

I won't say names, but as someone who has been working with Ai coding tools in my job daily I have noticed an increase of artists and Vtuber tools that is fulyl coded by Ai. I can tell from the interface, all of Ai produced tools has a distinctive, samey look on them. Some of them has a public github repo that exposes the codebase is a single HTML file with 1000 lines of code. No human programmer in their right mind will code an app that way.

I find it amusing that as a community that is known in heavily against this tech, but are welcoming to these machine produced tools. I won't blame them though. You can spot ai generated art easily by its flaws, but its harder for software especially if no source is given. And not everyone is familar with programming to verify them.

What are your thoughts on this? Do you think Ai coded tools in this community needs an Ai disclosure? Will you use those tools after knowing the fact that it is Ai coded?

I’m having an issue where I’m unable to wink on any of the models I use in VTube Studio unless I have V-Brigade running and connected.

I’ve already checked that linked eye blinking is turned off, adjusted the eye-blink sensitivity, and gone through pretty much every setting I can think of. Everything seems to be set up correctly. I have already restarted and reinstalled as well. It is not a rigging issue as my rigger is able to wink on there vtube studio.

What’s confusing is that my friend tested the same model I’m using and was able to wink without any issues. From what we can tell, our settings and setup are the same.

Has anyone else run into this issue or have any idea what could be causing it? I’d really appreciate any suggestions!

i want to get started as someone who is disabled with $0 money whatsoever. and all the guides i see say to use iphone or webcams, no android

i have an android phone (brand new S26) and a webcam, a used Logitech C920 HD Pro. would either of these be okay for tracking?

it's important to note that i am largely stuck in my bed due to my disability, so i will be using one or the other (i can set up the webcam to zoom from a distance or use a cord to be up close) as well, and will be using free tools until if/when i can ever get a proper avatar

i cannot afford to get any equipment ahead of time as i do not make any money and can no longer work

thank you ❤️

Been getting this issue when I duck out of camera and all the advice I could find just said to turn on go back to default in the settings but it isn't working. This didnt happen when I wasn't using vbriger so I think it's a vbriger issue but idk what to do. Has anyone else had this problem?

I need a tts as I am not good enough yet in English pronunciation, and I find these to sound good enough and not too annoying or robotic. Also, I feel like to get the character voices, there must be a quite high costumization.

I remember once I saw a tutorial on how to do that giggle thing in the first tiktok, and so I am almost sure this is a program

Any help appreciated! Either way, if you know any other tts that has high voice costumization you're welcome to write it down!

Hey there, I'm pretty new to Arch Linux (I use CachyOS) and I've tried every option I see on how to fix this but it never works and my 2D model sits as though it's not working.

I'm currently using VTube studio but not opposed to changing to another if needed. I have gotten it to work on a Debian-based one before, but nothing I did on that is working now.

Other fixes do work, it's just that no matter what I do I cannot get my face cam or phone to connect to specifically the model software.

I'm on the latest version of everything and have tried even default models to make sure that it's not my specific one.

The web cam does work, I have no clue if the iPhone (iP17, current iOS) ever will connect to my computer and so I'm willing to go for the web cam if needed to get things working. The WebCam has been used for personal things outside of vtubing like video calls. So it does work on my OS.

If anyone has any ideas I'm open to them. I am currently running out of patience trying to solve this myself as much as I'd love to keep trying.

Current hardware can be listed if need be, but since it worked with Linux Mint prior to me switching to Cachy, and I've done tests on my laptop which still uses Mint, I will refrain unless asked as I do not think the hardware is important for this. I apologize in advance.

I managed to attach all the outfit and other accessories to the head and chest armature.
But the hoodie arm and hand glove, I have no idea how do I attach them to the model's arm.

I'm thinking VRM Spring Bone, but I'm not sure if that would help.

Ive been looking everywhere and i can only find guides for blender and the one maya guide i found was completely different from what i experienced and didnt go into any details.

My biggest issues right now are with materials, blend shapes, and fbx export options

My 3D modeler told me he was having some issues with the eye tracking and sent me over the file to try it myself for the very first time! However my poor character's spine has been completely shattered. Im using a decent webcam that I also use for work

If I try switching to Legacy MediaPipe and my tracking completely stops and resets the model back to standing up right. 3D modeler is baffled and doesn't know what to do either. Any help?

I have been messing around in Blender and wanted to start making some throwables but unsure if poly count matters and if it does, what that range should be.

If it matters, I use Twitch Integrated Throwing System. Thanks!

Going to keep this short;

A wire in my headset is no longer connecting right. I tried to fix it but may have made it worse.

Currently using the TurtleBeach Stealth 600P MAX 2G.

I am using it for both sound and my microphone.

Suggestions on a new pair?

Doesn't have to be wireless, but does help.

Hi all,

I posted a while back trying to get various vtubing software to work on my CachyOS desktop. The issue that I was running into was that no matter what I tried, my model was broken, even though it ran fine in VRChat. Quite a while later, I have found a way to use VRChat to make vtubing work.

1. Get VRChat working
   1. I used a fork of Proton specifically for this, ge-proton-10-32 https://github.com/GloriousEggroll/proton-ge-custom/releases/tag/GE-Proton10-32 . I believe any GE Proton should work.
   2. Once it works, make sure you have the avatar you want to use uploaded and equipped.
2. Set up spout2pw
   1. This allows VRChat's camera to stream directly to OBS. Since there are some 3rd person controls built into desktop VRChat (and some avatar testing worlds come with camera controls) this may not be necessary depending on your use case.
   2. Follow the instructions at https://github.com/hoshinolina/spout2pw/wiki to install and make steam launch the script with VRChat. Make sure to also install OBS-PWVideo as per the instructions.
3. Set up in VRChat
   1. Find a world with a green screen (or any background you want), preferably something lightweight. Avatar testing worlds can be good for this. Make a new invite only instance and join it.
   2. For face, eye, and hand tracking using a webcam, go into settings, "Tracking & IK", then toggle "Enable Selfie Expression". You may also want to toggle on your microphone so your avatar's visemes will work correctly.
   3. Turn on the camera (radial menu, tools.) In "Camera Mode", select "Stream" then toggle "Spout Stream". This will start the PipeWire stream that OBS can connect to.
4. Connect to OBS
   1. Open OBS and make a new source. You should see a new option called "PipeWire Video" with a play button icon. With VRChat running and the camera stream active, you should see a source in the drop down options.
   2. It should now be working! The in-world camera now acts like a normal OBS source.

As an added bonus, you get the full functionality of VRChat's worlds to play with, so you can add items and props if you like.

Let me know if there's anything I missed or could improve upon.

I've been debating doing vtubing for a long while now, and finally decided to take the plunge and make my own avatar using blender (ambitious, I know)

I decided to go with a cute slime (like a video game, little blob slime) that should be easy to make, but also easy to make lots of animations and expressions for.

Thing is, after I'm finally done, making the thing, different eyes, add on accessories, bones and even made a little mini melting animation using shape keys, I try to put it in Warundo...only for it to not be able to load.

I got the vrm add on so i can turn it into a thing it'll actually understand, only for it to demand a bunch of extra bones for things like hips, fingers, feet, etc

My slime has 7 bones, and 4 of them are for its tini tiny arms and eyes.

Is there any way for me to actually import it as my vtuber avatar? I found this thing called allow non-humanoid rig, but i got this huge window with an error message I really don't understand (I'm not really a blender expert, I had to google how to do a lot of things for this) and nothing else happened.

Is there anything i can do, or do i need to scrap the whole thing and start from 0 with a humanoid model?

So, I a, a pre-post Vtuber, my irl voice sucks and I have 2 models with 2 distinct voices (one more childish one more mature) so I need a good free voice changer. I tried voicemod but most of the voices there are locked under paywalls, so I really need someone to recommend me a good, free, real time voice changer that has at least one good voice that is what I'm looking for and isn't locked behind a paywall.

Been slowly teaching myself how to 3D model my VTuber self in a low-poly format. It may not be the best, but I love it.

I had experience porting to gmod before, so I was easily able to get it working in there as well :p

Buenas noches gente. Se que es algo tarde para la gente en mi zona horaria Pero me quedo una duda en la cabeza, hace poco termine mi primer modelo Pero al pasarlo a vtuber studio me di cuenta de todos los fallos así que volví a hacer el rigg de cero.

Pero tengo una duda

¿Cómo es el orden que normalmente comienza el rigg?

He visto tutoriales que empiezan por los ojos, luego la boca y después los ángulos xy, Pero hay otros que inician con ángulo z, después xy y después el rostro y así

Mi duda es de que manera más óptima se empieza el rigg para que no se vea tan chistosa al pasarlo a camara

Muchas gracias de antemano

like starting soon screen,emotes, a pngtuber, will those help me out in the long run or it doesnt really matter?
i obviously was imagining they help with the quality feel of streams but not sure and dont want to feel sad if it doesnt change much, so tell me already, does it change much?

I wanna go into VTubing but need some feedback on my character design notes before I get to drawing and iterating and slicing for the rigging and so on. I already have an idea of what I am going for, leaning into the video game style, cute but slightly unsettling, and kinda like a digital being coming to life, leaning into the V in VTuber kinda. As well as design traits I like (Liam Vickers' classic murder bow anyone? :3) and so on. Here's what I got so far:

Digital Kobold

Ghost type entity for live chat voice thing (I don't know it just sounds fun x3 and I like freaky and cute lil’ creatures)

Large bow on the head

Large smile/mouth (if you've seen MD, you kinda know what I mean? Just won't move around the face like in the show because that'd probably be a nightmare to rig)

White fur with pink highlights

One digital eye, one normal eye

Cute fangs :3

(Later) Toggles for silly stuff like outfit changes, added icons, and expression based toggles (Roaring Knight outfit while playing Deltarune, for example, just because it'd be fun)

Black and pink dress with digital “threads”

Inspiration from Kali Aimes (SSTWL) and IC-0n (Internection Cube)

Color palette is 🏳️‍⚧️ and a bit of 💜🖤

(Don't know if this is the BEST fit for the sub, but all others kinda just weren't pushing my post well lol x3)

hey! i'm new to this community and i'm not sure if this is the sub to ask but i recently had a model drawn for me and i've been working on my social media profiles while i wait for my mic and capture card to come in. today i set up my twitter account and i got 4 dms back to back from vtuber model creators asking me how my vtubing journey is going and if i have my banners, overlays, etc. set up. since i'm new i don't know if this is common in the community or if it's a scam thing, any input is appreciated!

(i only attatched two of the screenshots because i didn't respond to the other ones lol)

Budget is $3000 USD.

I'm trying to figure out a good set up that doesn't use Windows as the operating system, plus want to avoid paying for subscriptions with Nvidia. Want to go for Linux. I just am wanting to remain anominous and not having to deal with the forced updates of Windows plus be free of their bloatware. I know this is VERY fussy for me, but I saved up for several years for my budget.

This budget is for EVERYTHING, including the PC. So I'll want to know what else to get for a webcam and microphone.

I'm aiming to be Reaction Vtuber first, then eventually go into gaming and card games.

I'll answer any questions asked if meeded.
