Yoo thanks for not only making a (second) tutorial, but also for sharing your files and folders for us. Really appreciate the effort you put in all of this.
I'm impressed by how much you've managed to improve the ToonTuber engine between iterations! Though i do use an existing PNGtuber engine within SAMMI, it's nice to see variations and easy access to more cool software!
OH In case it helps anyone! Cus I got stuck on this with both of these tutorials but I figured this out! If you don't know what you're doing with the scene and the greenscreening, you are supposed to just leave the tuber occupying the whole scene and then _on the scene you're _*_actually going to be using,_* you can go to Add > *Scene,* and then put the entire tuber scene in there. I had been struggling with this cus it seemed like that would be the sensible thing to do but I could not figure out how to do it?? but when he explained in this video that you can add the greenscreen to the _scene itself,_ not to the individual items (like I had done XD), that got it to click and then I finally found the button I was missing haha So just go to your *normal scene,* or create one, which will have all your UI, game capture etc etc, and right click in the right-hand box and hover over the Add section, or click the plus sign at the bottom, and then there is one in the list called *Scene.* If you applied the greenscreen ( *Chroma Key* ), to the tuber scene as he shows in this vid, then you can jsut resize it as needed.
Also, my character has a blue body, with more purplish markings, green eyes, and pink mouth insides and blushies. so I had to use a colour wheel to find the colour that was farthest away from any other colour/tone on my character to use as the chroma key. you can manually set your own colour and adjust the sliders until it feels comfortable. Be aware that an antialiasing artifact halo will require more tollerance on the chroma key which can cause it to bleed into other colours, so you want the outside of your outline to be as rigid as possible. I ended up saving mine as APNGs, but I think Gifs are also supposed to work, just be careful if your export is getting downscaled cus that will most likely cause antialiasing on the outline. A little is fine, but the more there is, the harsher the chroma key has to be, and that can cause bleed with the transparency.
@@fluffyxai5065 btw have you encountered an issue where upon pressing a hotkey for a different animation, your entire tuber just dissapears until you reopen the program and have to manually find the folder with sprites again?
@@CharmedReally7 yikes! No I haven't. I haven't had time to make more animations for different emotes so he just has the one. I also haven figured out how I'll switch between them either. But I'll have to keep an eye out for that one
Scott I cannot thank you enough. As I mentioned before, I had an idea for streaming that this PERFECTLY fit. You didn't have to update for the new files but you really went all the way with this. Thank you so, so much. I really appreciate it. God bless you
Thank you for being so thorough with your setup. I was digging you ToonTuber concept when you released your first tutorial, and I appreciate you helping to fill a gap that has a different flavor than the many Live2D models out there.
I literally just moved over my previous animation folders after copying the new deck info into the most up to date OBS/Sammi setup and it all worked immediately. You continue to be an inspiration! (Also R.I.P to StreamFX's creator for causing so many headaches)
Thank you so much for posting this guide and giving us the tools to make this style of puppet. The face tracking style of V-Tubing has a bit too much of an uncanniness for me, but your Toon-Tubing setup seems to have so much more freedom of expression, even though it's limited to voice-activation and key binds. I've been putting off making videos (mainly out of shear laziness), not only this has this inspired me to learn how to animate, but it has lit a fire. As cheesy as it sounds, thank you so very much for this gift.
This is so amazing! Thank you for figuring stuff like this out, I might even try my hand at it. Something a little less daunting than a Vtuber, and something a little less stagnate as a PNG tuber!
Awesome, been waiting for this update. Tried going back to the first one but was just having too much trouble with OBS and my own lack of tech savvy and stuck with a regular PNG. Really looking forward to trying this out.
Yess! Love the new tutorial. Not gonna lie the 1st version was a little bit to learn. This looks way easier. Thanks again for making such a goated too tuber set ipy
Hi scott!! i've been working on my toontuber since the first video arrived, so my question is: if i want to use toontuber V2, that means i have to like.. delete everything else from V1 to make it work? im kinda scare to delete everything from V1 because i have like.. waaay to much expressions and time invested, so, if i want to use V2, how should i start?
This is awesome! As a voiceover artist good with impressions, I'd have fun with a bit reward that changes my normal camera out for a ToonTuber of Solid Snake, and I'd have to talk like Snake for a few minutes.
Everything is going incredibly smoothly so far! I personally had a little confusion at first as I mistakenly told SAMMI the _actual_ Mic name as opposed to just what OBS calls it, but all went well once I sorted that out...! (^ ^;)ゞ -Incredible, this time around it practically sets _itself_ up-I have to say quite the contrast and update from the last Amazing job and thank you so much-! (人*´∀｀)｡*ﾟ+
Thanks Scott! Ever since I stopped using Adobe Character Animator, I needed to figure out a new system, and for some reason, most of the free Vtuber programs aren't very 2D Friendly
This a GREAT video! Not only did you remake the tutorial based on the newest updates, but you also provided the files you used, which let’s be honest, is not common in most tutorials.
I can't thank you enough for what you're doing. This could potentially solve all my issues about starting my channel and you made it sound like it was nothing. I'll follow your work for the rest of my time on internet, really thanks for this.
very cool that you made an update, but i wish you went over stuff like what the idle animations are comprised of again in this, coz now i gotta watch both tutorials and piece together what parts are relevant and what isnt
I’ve been wanting to figure out a way to streamline and improve my avatar in UA-cam videos and this is PERFECT for that. I definitely want to play around with this!
Wooow, I was literally *_just_* in the middle of reviewing the original video only to see the Description was gone to stop you from using that method and linking to this one- (≧▽≦) -How convenient, thank you so much...! ♪(´▽｀)
Huh! I was already using the Audio Move plugin do do something similar with gif files, but was trying to figure out a good way to branch into emotes. Definitely gonna try some of this out when I have some time!
this is cool, and it doesn't even have to just be used for stream avatars! imagine using that sort of thing to make your own animated adlib comedy series like Aqua Teen hell one could make avatar animations for ads and other things with this method! you didn't just come up with a cool vtuber idea, you came up with a really cool live record animation method! Adult Swim would be jealous. lmao
In case anyone can help: I have otherwise gotten the character to work but instead of the animation's background being transparent it appears as black and covers the screen behind it. EDIT: Found the solution from another source. Basically you need to group all Tuber source files in the OBS scene and create them their own chroma key filter.
Neat, might give this a shot for giggles as I'm gonna be force into bed/home/chair for a while(I'm sick at time of writing; not like I'm being held down or something to make a tuber rig)
Yo Scotty, if you use browser sources instead of media sources you could use transparent animated WebPs, Gifs, or APNGs instead of video files. Then no chroma key required. Edit: If using browser sources you do need to use the css line img {background-color: transparent !important;} for it to work. This didn't use to be needed, but chrome's default image handling changed so.... yeah.
This is so amazingly well done. I don't suppose there's a way to connect this to OBS without Sammi? I've got a mac and Sammi doesn't want to play nice with it :(
This is amazing thank you so much!! With your experience, are there any animations you recommend making? Like happy ofc but things like sad, blushing, etc.
Hey scott is their a way you can show us how you import your character while using sammi in a video? This honestly confused me alot i made my own avatar but i cant find out how to get each different emotes into obs with sammi in general. sorry if this is too much to ask but it will really help out!! thank you so much
Does this mean I could actually use two different mics for two different characters? EDIT: oh baby, yes it does! got it to work. awesome. thx for the tutorial. Had to trial and error around for some time but got it working
as expressive and animated as this is, i just downloaded SAMMI last night for a different feature and it seems a complicated program to use for basic png vtubing. things like veadotube mini are much easier to set up for beginners or novices and pngtuber+ take a little bit of effort to figure out but might? be a bit less daunting than SAMMI (imo bc i followed a video step by step to set up a ctrl + z command and it was quite intimidating to look at) i would consider this tut more intermediate but still cool for a more responsive vtuber none the less.
I did everything i was suppose to do, but when i run it in the "first run" place, it gives me error messages and when i talked nothing happened, plus there were multiple image things in my obs of the character frames
I was having some issues getting it to recognize my mic. Turns out the plugins weren't active. Make sure you extract them into obs instead of using the installer.
