Serious question, does is pay well and worth all the pain? I design and sell already "painful" complex character designs like this one on the right 3:41. It pays ok but I want more money. Times are getting tough
This was really informative! It’s interesting to see how much overlap this process has with other forms of digital media, like how parameters are used similarly in VR games, and the various transform effects are present in a ton of image and video editing programs. However the most informative thing I’ve learned in this video is that Tahvo pronounces “vague” like a psychopath and that’s both cute and hilarious
I came in expecting to see a new vtuber struggling with the process and validating just how *absolutely nonsense* the entire pipeline is, but instead I got an incredibly informative walkthrough that will definitely help anyone curious about it. Well done!
I’ve animated tweening before, knowing how “difficult” that can be a seeing how much more stressful stuff that goes into rigging and actually making a vtuber model kind of makes me feel sad for those creators😂 love them tho
Before watching it, only seeing the thumbnail i agree i tried it once and gave up after 3hours but ofc now i know it takes up to a week to get it working as it should. So seeing this thumbnail remembered me when i tried to revisit it some time ago and watched exactly only one tutorial for the first part the hair part and i thought yeah no i already feel the pain. Gonna edit this once i watched this video to the end. Edit: I would probably recommend looking into a specific tutorial playlist. It was created by professional Vtube riggers that are one of the bigger known websites that specifically was made for vtube commissions. The playlist isn't hard to find either they have it sourced under the tutorial section of their website
As someone who makes 3d-tubers from scratch, I feel the pain in the video. Every time I make one, or edit, or even fix small hiccups, I want to live, love. laugh my way off the nearest cliff.
i really think there should be a mobile rigging app, it’s useful and you can literally use it anywhere. also i’m a new fan so i can’t wait to see more content from you! 😊
AMAZINGGGG TUTORIAL thank youuu soo muchhh :D love the way you introduced the main software essentials, discussed the different software options (and was specific for what you use) and just how clear all this information is. Making a Vtuber seems so much more approachable after your video- thanks so much !! ^^ def gonna subscribe
Despite knowing how to draw and having a file for my character i loathe 3d and animation 😂 i found out i much rather make a physical fursuit...god i wish i has the passion to animate.
I've been thinking about becoming a VTuber, and I don't think I will since it's a lot of work and dedication. However, as a music producer I really appreciate people like you who make videos for the people who don't have money or don't want to spend thousands of dollars in something they may regret in the future or just because they'd rather spend it on something else. I'm 17, not attending schoo, obviously unemployed and live in a country with a bad economy, so music producing has become harder every time I make a new single. They want to charge you for EVERYTIHING. For every sample, every kick drum, snare, SFX, effect, synthesizer, etc. And it breaks my heart that I can't produce any genre I want because for a sample pack with like 10 sounds I'd have to pay more than 30-40 dollars.
God, I want to make a VTuber soooooo bad but I just know I'll give up midway anyways ;-; Don't get me wrong I WILL try it anyways (once I get access to a good webcam) because that's how I am but man.. I am not exited to leave another project more unfinished
if you have an iphone with infrared facial recognition (i think iphone10+), it tends to have the best face tracking with vBridger for vtubestudio (the tracking software) but i think they updated to improve their webcam tracking
i remember gettig live 2d cubism way before knowing what vtubers were. had no idea how to use it and eneded up abandoning it. I think i remember it used to be completely free. i wonder if it was and when it might have went the paid route
with all these programs and layers would someone need a specific type of graphics and storage card or can all this be done from a simple laptop? Do you have any brands or setting you would recommend?
Late reply, but you don't need much space and computational power at all! All the programs would take up just a couple gigabytes of space at max, and a finished model is just a texture file (about 25 mb at 4k for me) and a text file describing the movement (negligible space). A source PSD file could be bigger, mine are around 200mb I think? But you can delete them immediately after importing into Live2D if you don't plan on using it again. So you don't need much space at all The performance depends on if you are tracking from a phone or webcam. With a phone you don't need any extra power, just enough to receive the data and draw the character, everything else depends on the phone. With a webcam you would need to find the right level of tracking because the higher ones need stronger GPUs, but it's not insane on the lower ones too, about comparable to having a browser with a few tabs open I hope this helps you or anyone else needing help!!
do you know you can make a vtuber 2d model, by just doing one simple drawing for each emotion or mood you're feeling, without needing to be forced to make this overcomplicated 2d polygon rig? if i'm not wrong there should be a program which can help you with automatically changing the sprites and move them depending on the audio received from the microphone
I have a question. Does it also work if you draw your layers on an app like ibis paint that does not export psd and then move them to photoshop and export psd from there?
Is there a way to use a 2d face on a 3d model? I want to make one that has a 2d face but a 3d body also so I can make custom faces/images go into the face
Look, it depends on how you want to do it. If you want to make the face to be entirely 2d, then try searching for how the Parappa the Rapper models were made. They are like, 3d rigged but at the same time 2d. If you want to make the head mesh to be 3d and the face like eyes, mouth and etc to be 2d, then just use blendshapes. Sorry if i didnt help, its cuz i didnt understand your comment.
Making Vtubers has been my job for two years by now...the pain never goes away.
Pain forever, my friend. Pain forever...
Hey if i were to make a vtuber it would be a protogen cuz they are cute lol but if i need someone to call to make em it prob would be u
Since you got years of experiance
@@PatrickJohnson-go9vg Wed love to make a proto! Our @ everywhere is Armadragon/Armadragonn :3

Neat! I would say the similarities between 2D and 3D animation were surprising but it mostly just makes sense. Either way, neat!

Excellent tutorial video, very well covered!
im actually learning how to use live2d rn and doing my own lil model for fun
good informational video

It's always when rigging comes up that my brain just falls apart eodkejdj

you have my subscription. anyone who can calmly explain something well, like you just did, is a person worth watching.
9:19 Im amazed and gonna cry for some reason, idk the reason im stupid
Tahvo you got the best Vtuber model i have ever seen!
Hey! I recommend with starting as PNG vtuber, is much less work and more easier, but you always can start with hard way
I like this idea since I can actually make art n png is ok, do you have a special playlist tutorials or blogs?
Would be cool to talk about PNGtuber too, i know its simpler but it would be interesting nevertheless

Seeing all this work makes me understand better and respect more even the simpler vtuber models. It's really not easy, so props to everyone!
cool tutorial but i cant draw. 10/10.
thats why theres alot of art tutorials on youtube/on the internet
OMG it's been so long since u made a vid, this just made my day!
I love the model!
this is awesome, thank you!! ive been wondering how its done.
This technology is super cool

You're the only vtuber i would actually watch
That's awesome, when I fix my pc I will download these apps to make my own vtuber
I am glad I watched this. Probably won't use it but it's cool
I love ur character he is so cute
1:05 TAIDUM LOVE
he looks rlly cute!!
Thanks! Now I just need to learn how to draw.
I just started making vtuber models and my friends say i did super good for a beginner. (I learn fast)
One thing ironic about this is that I found the pharaoh’s curse sound effect below this video
can i just stick to my silly 3d modelling- this looks tough haha TwT
as a live 2d rigger, 3d modeling looks tough mguy :')

Why am I here?
same question
Because your here🎉

Hello, I'm new, I liked your video of "my honest reaction", greetings from Argentina
Great video!
I created a vtuber but it says I'm not allowed so I tried and tried it still says that, I hate vtube studio
Hair physics is very important, good that you covered that. :D

Rigging sounds kinda fun to do somehow...
I might be able to do the VRchat avatar but it'll be confusing though. It might just be hard to work with because unity
good doggo
Yes
I'm using artrage software, I'm figuring out the best line drawing settings
Well if Tahvo did it, I can
"Child degoformers"
From video idea to hitting the publish button how long did it take to make this video?
I I’ve made a model I use the free version of live 2d and use, Vtube studio
twitch streams when? :O
first two are blender and uhhh blender as in what you can use
I'ma try this
thanks

I want my snout to jiggle or get a lil bigger when i talk. Do you know how i can connect the snout movement with sound?

That’s called a pngtuber and they are very cool!
@@TahvoStudio btw why didin't you use the pngtuber for 2d or didin't use 3d for vtuber? At least it would have been way simpler
I just use u know the pngtuver one,
Since having a whole 3D model makes the PC burn
Could ibispaint x allowed?
this is too hard I think I’ll be a pngtuber
I have a question. Does it also work if you draw your layers on an app like ibis paint that does not export psd and then move them to photoshop and export psd from there?
Yes it does work on Ibis paint :3
Also you can export as a PSD on Ibis paing
Nice informative video thanks

4:45 Business Man Tahvo?
hello very cool!
I wanna pet the dogi...
Futives is a VTuber?…..
Interesting at least he is a beast at CoD
Ese era el perrito en tasa. Jajaja XD
anche a te grazie fra yomino ci sta
So do you stream now?
So is it just that it requires an art application with a layer feature or that it requires one of those applications?
Should be good as long as you can export psd
What about paint 3d can I use that?
I think you can only use programs that allow multiple layers as well as .psd exporting.
1:15 how about you say that to my 1 layer vtuber model.
Im making a vtuber but im not usesing tace tracking... im useing cap cut tweening. AND ITS NOT COMPLICATED!!
why did you make somany verticies "faints"
Bro when bald 4:45
I know nothing about 2d vtubing lmfao
I’ve been working in blender for about 3+ years, and this looks like Arabic to me
cool oc
a vtuber is easy when you don’t use models and you just use painting apps for a talking thing and a idle animation
I came for the pain
What about warudo? That’s a free 3D Vtuber software!
Nice but one problem I cant draw
