How long does it take to create a vtuber avatar
about tree fiddy
>>109239167Depends on your cad skills
>>109239167Nyega~This was the height of my vtuber watching career by the way.
What even is vTubing?
>>109239167Why are you watching AI?
>>109239167Its a complicated process, comissions start from like 300USD for rigging something you bring to them, vs several thousand+ for something from scratch with all the bells and whistles.I have a mate who works on AI auto rigging trying to undermine the rigger cartel. Unless you buy something plain off the shelf the customisations are almost all manual.Also why png tubers are a thing for poors

>>109239167well first you must embark on a 2+ year journey on hrt
>>109240160>well first you must embark on a 2+ year journey on hrt
Just ask nano banana to create one for you. Also dilate
>>109240062>What even is vTubing?The act of watching a man or an AI using an anime model to extort you out of your money.
>>109240216wow anon, real deep and insightful take here.
>>109240108chinks people are already on it to mass produce them.
>>109240113why did moot give this garbage its own board
>>109240233thingthing (japan)if you want a new board nowadays you need to create a phenomenon in japan first
>>109240062the usual pedobaiting from japan
>>109240233before vt, they were spamming their shit in >>>/jp/ . mods had enough and created a containment board.
>>109239334>cadIt's typically Live2D, basically it's all drawn as separate pieces and then rigged to move so it looks 3D within a limited range of motion. A paper doll basically.3D models are popular too but Live2D is what most at least start with.>>109240082It's a live person using face tracking software to control a model. Unless of course you're watching Neuro-sama.>>109240408Prepubescent children don't usually have huge boobs. Strange how many people seem to miss this.
>>109240462i don't know about today but when /vt/ became a thing, the most popular vtubers were gura, aqua, miko. miko had a outfit like a young schoolgirl with a satchel and all. the most popular song was about pedos and had millions of views on youtube. pic is an official art of gura taken from hololive website.
>>109240216Why would anyone want to watch that for?
Vtubers feel so pointless when all they can do is point their head and do the same exact limited expressions.
>>109240216Only in Neurosama's case. The rest are actual women of varying attractiveness. Some of them are actually very cute.
>>109240221What even is there to be deep about. It's mentally ill men pretending to be tsundere girls.
>>109240507I just realized hololive has the word loli in it.
It's not as hard as people say, but is definitely an acquired domain-specific skill. You have to know all of the software conventions in addition to just knowing how to draw. So it's kind of like the same difficulty as making a VRChat avatar. Not easy but not impossible desu
>>109240062Youtuber who uses an anime avatar>>109240216Most of the girl avatar ones are actually girls. You can tell because some of them suck at games (which is kinda entertaining sometimes).>>109240233Because it's a huge phenomenon. Gura was on some American sport event or something. MSI paid Dokibird to shill their 500Hz monitor.
>>109240982The word "circumstance" has "cum" in it.The word "assistance" has "ass" in it.The word "peeve" has "pee" in it.
>>109239167The worst part is dealing with the insufferable people who can not grasp the concept of "work for hire" and try to attach all sorts of conditions about what you can and can not do with the model you pay them to create. There's tons of decent VRM models out there made by Koikatsu fans, just mod one of those. The expensive shit is stuff where cat ears are rigged to move with your eyebrows, stuff like that.

They're not even 3d, right? Just drawings. You use software called Live2D (or if you want to make this /g/ related, write your own tweening software for fun :D)
>>109240519Gen Z has no taste or active imagination for better entertainment
>>109241796I suspect many of the actual female vtubers (the famous ones) have a male playing the real games (non-cozy games) for them.
>>109242169Good observation
>>109240108>AI auto rigging trying to undermine the rigger cartelhow far along is this tech
>>109242151>They're not even 3d, right? Just drawings.They have to be rigged, anon. It's like having a bunch of 2D layers that morph and warp in convincing ways to emulate 3D.
>>109240062>worthless eceleb: >:(>worthless eceleb, japan: :O
>>109242315Are they actually rigged in the traditional sense? When I used it I was able to get by with rudimentary warping and then manipulating the animation parameters at runtime. Though I'm sure you could get even better results through more sophisticated warping. As for rigging, I didn't know that was something you could do in live2d.
>>109242320More like, worthless e-celeb, anime :D
>>109240062Latest iteration of celebrity. You're able to talk to this one and get it to talk to you with financial contributions.>>109240108This is a good answer. I'm friends with some talented people who can create them from scratch. It's a lot of work and collaboration so four figures is to be expected especially when it's something exclusive.
>>109240062cute and funny.
>>109242406english vtubers are shit-tier
>>109239167I used to think vtubers were stupidI was so wrong, I recently got into watching vtubers and I regret missing all the peak
>>109242450Gura and... the detective one were kino. Some of them spends a lot of effort for entertaining in terms of singing and stuff. Are japanese ones same dedicated? Kaguya Luna was kinda mid back then. Also Japanese ones would never touch west games that we would gaf about. Mint playing Dead Space was fun because she sucks at it.
>>109240062Instead of using a facecam, you use face/body tracking and a character model. Fundamentally, that's it.There are some cultural standards due to the way it came about, but there's so much variety now that it doesn't have to be tied to that.A boring streamer is still a boring streamer, a good streamer is still a good streamer, whether they have a facecam, vtuber model, or neither. Gooner-bait streamers with nothing else going for them don't tend to get very far.
>>109239167A few days to a few months depending on the complexity.
>>109242337This. Most ecelebs are an eyesore to look at, specially female ones. Anime fixes that.
>>109239167Nnyyyeeggaáaáa
>>109242473kino just means movie you retard, stop saying it like you are smart, you aren't even using it right
>>109239167the model is probably the simplest part since technically any model can be used. the animations and motion captures are probably the hardest part
here is your regular cute anime vtuber
>>109242634>kino just means moviekino in german means cinema
>>109242450>click on a single English vtuber stream to see what all the fuss is about >vtuber: Happy Pride, everyone!" (This was in June)>immediately click out
>>109243105it can be used as the word cinema just how we say movies when we mean cinema, still you are retarded for using words you do not understand
>>109243093Is this the one that lost a few fans after the reveal but gained even more lol
>>109240108ai will eventually take their jobs. you can already have an agent create a base image in comfyui, use facelock to generate more images of it with different poses, train a lora, and then have the agent use blender to create that model. its kinda subpar right now but its the worst its ever going to get.
>>109240062Most westoids tend to miss the point that vtubers are supposed to be like virtual idols who perform original songs. So when you see westoids trying to become vtubers, they only hone in on the lazy part that's streaming themselves playing video games. Thats only one aspect of vtubers, where the appeal comes from seeing a famous singer you enjoy, but in a casual setting where you can pay her to say your name live on stream. Westoids who think it's just streaming video games are missing that aspect entirely.
It's free and it takes literally seconds to make a basic one. I recommend trying it out if you have any interest in that kind of thing. Making more advanced or even simple custom ones is a pain in the dick. The 2D ones you have to rig up all the layers and facial expressions in live2d and the 3d ones you have to rig in fucking unity for some reason. That seems to be the only software that supports rigging and labeling all the parts. But if you're doing something custom more than what vroid studio gives you then you have to dig deep into blender and doing actual 3d and shape blends and armature bones and all that kind of shit.https://vroid.com/en/studio
Learning Live2D is actually really easy if you stick with the tutorials. It should be no problem if you have any aptitude with using computers in a more technical setting than simple web browsing. All you need to do is pay someone to draw the base model, which is just a regular photoshop file, with separate layers for the body parts and hair etc., and then you manipulate the model in Live2D. If you know how to draw, it's even better because you can just draw the model yourself.
>>109243265I don't even know, sry
>>109243255Literally never happened with me. Infact people call Pippa and Doki chud.
>>109243744To be fair mine was like a random one I found by chance, only 100 people in the stream and probably not a well-known one
>>109239167Depends on how good you are and how elaborate the design is. Basic model? Maybe an hour. Elaborate high quality one? Days worth of work.
>>109243288The funniest part are these newscaster and commentary youtubers, almost always male, with the most elaborately designed avatar imaginable and then you're hit by the 30 year old millennial stock voice #7 kek
