/vt/ - Virtual Youtubers

Happy birthday /auds/

>>17444743
It's been a year already huh...

Let's look at Hearts of Iron IV (HoI), Needy Streamer Overdose (NSO), and Minecraft (MC). I've filtered my twitch to English because I'm EOP.

Currently, NSO has three streamers, with 2,5,16 viewers. There's 5k followers of the game, if you stream to no audience, you're top row, so you might get some people pop in... But it's not exactly a hugely popular one. There's not likely to be lots of people coming to watch.
HOI has eight streamers, at 15, 9, 2*2, 4*1. It's got 375k followers, so if you can get a CCV of 3, you're top row, and could well pick up anyone else interested in watching the game. This could well be good for getting new viewers.
MC has 13k viewers. Top 12 streams all have 100+ viewers, so even though there's 42m followers, you're not likely to get many - they won't see you.

NSO is a low streamed game. I had fun streaming it, but it's over a week old, and lots of people played it. It's pretty much a VN, there's it's not a sandbox, and it's text heavy. Part of the appeal was the meta humour. I expect it to trickle along for years as people discover it, play it a bit, and then drop it.

At the minute, I'd say HOI is an underrepped game. You join now, you'll get people willing to hop in and watch (so long as you're not shit long term). Do challenge runs in game, and attempt to get achievements, people will come (I've done it, for similar games). They might sometimes come to other games (I have had luck pulling them to similarly styled things.

Minecraft is oversaturated. Finding anyone in there is like finding a needle in a haystack, except the needle is invisible, and the haystack is full of kids screaming.

Being a full on variety is not ideal. But if you theme some streams (I dunno, WW2 games on Wednesday/Thursday?), you might be able to cultive a decent audience.

>>17454547
Sorry, this was supposed to be a reply to something last thread, but I closed the tab and lost the reference. But you'd asked about getting viewers for one game.

>>17454547
very neat write up; I know it's a lot of stuff that gets talked about but it's interesting to see it applied in a more quantitative sense

aspies is asmr good for growth or am i shooting myself in the foot and kissing my mic for nothing

>>17460812
It's good, but you'll get people who only appear in those streams. Often happens, but it's excessive if you do coomer style

https://sullygnome.com/channel/ikumi
https://sullygnome.com/channel/fallenshadow/

>>17461381
fuck

>>17461456
Yeah. Ikumi definitely coomer baits, quite excessively. I like it, but I'm a degen.
Fallen doesn't actively coomer bait, apart from the kisses, but given her whole thing is the loli aesthetic, she also sort of does.

That said, it's also great for getting oil barons, especially if you're willing to bait them.

Link?

>>17461649
yea that was honestly my goal shamefully enough LOL
here's the link, still working on mic setup n shit so dont shit on me for how bad it is lmfao
https://youtu.be/uCmaqvc5Ihk

>>17461649
same posting for a sec, sorry. any tips for baiting oil barrons/the type of people that are gachikoi for small vtubers? I'm not interested in doing degen shit though I'm not a whore kek

>>17462198
Get personal with them. Find relatable hardships and bond over them.

>>17462198
Do you watch much in the way of ASMR in the first place?

Also, how degen are you willing to go? GFE roleplay is popular (see VividlyASMR, FallenShadow, LemonLeaf, SkittyKat), but you can couch it in terms of "pub landlady/hairdressed talks with you" (goodnight moon is a great example); rather than someone sleeping with the listener.
If you want to do actual GFE style, then Nene Amano, Babypink, and WholesomeGirlfriendASMR are good ones to emulate.
Take it up a notch, and do NSFW GFE. Again, Babypink, SkittyKat is a good example, Varyunya, DudeTLewd too.
Or go down the mouthsounds/mic stroke - Ikumi, Gaon MaiMai. Technically, it's not lewd... But we all know it is.
Or just go and record yourself stirring a pot of mac'n'cheese.

Also, check out Hilentsu. She does AMAZING asmr.


With what you need to do, as an ASMRtist, you'll be doing triggers for people.
Make notes on this. Does BigLad97 always request humming on your 1500pt "pick a trigger" redeem? Well, whenever you see him come into stream and post for the first time, hum a little bit for him. If he mentions he's applying for a job, ask him about it next time.
For me, ASMR actually gives me the tingles up the back of the head, and sends me to sleep. I love listening to it for that. But then a lot of the female asmrtists also then lean into doing actual adult audio, which I also put on (but not for relaxing).

Ikumi (I know, coomer bait) does two things that I'd highly recommend doing/checking out:
- she has 'characters'. So a tsundere catgirl maid, who nays and purrs and nuzzles the mic. A tomboy wolf/dog who growls and speaks more sharply. "Momiku" who calls you a good boy and praises you for working hard... And then lets chat vote on which one she'll do a 30 minute roleplay as if she hits a certain number of subs per streams. She comms art of each of them.
- If she reaches certain bit/dono tiers a stream, she'll do specific triggers.

She absolutely milks her chat. Watch her.

>>17463288
I mostly watch jpvtuber earcleaning/massage asmr, so thats why I dont really know much in the way of doing en asmr. Thank you for the advice, I'll be sure to check out the channels mentioned

>>17463571
Yeah, the problem is, those people don't manage to get as many whales, unless they're the ones doing "girl cleans out your ears whilst in the shower in lingerie"... Which I definitely have never seen.

>>17444743
why drawing for l2d is so hard
I wanna give up

>>17463650
Hm I see. Alright, I'll see what I can improve

>>17463672
It’s not difficult it’s just tedious. Get your ovaries together and power through.

>>17463996
>ovaries
balls

>>17463672
pre-planning will prevent most of the pain but I guess that doesn't really help for your first model
i usually get the lines done first one layer folder at a time down for the major stuff besides the face, and then color it in the same order, just so I know where I'm at and what I'm doing

>>17464261
I did before but I didn't color it very well so it looked plain

any tips for doing torso/arms and making them feel 3D?

>>17464465
Add shadows that are on a separate layer and will appear and move with the motion

>>17464204
Son, your balls don’t drop till I see your model be able to make more than one facial expression and look around.

>>17465068
I other models that moved already, they just looked like shit because im bad at drawing

Have you made the progress you were looking for /asp/ies? After a year what lessons have you learned? What would you tell yourself last year?

>>17471764
I haven't even started.

I'm thinking the simple dress I made is too plain. Gonna design something more Art Nouveau-ish and see if that helps.

>Finish doing X axis for rigging
>When working on the Y axis I realize that if I mix up X and Y then only the X axis changes take priority (IE 30x/30y show only 30x/0y despite having set 0/30y)
Is there a way to interpolate them or will I have to manually edit them?

anything cool ever come out of these threads?

>>17476390
depends on what you mean by cool. there's a bunch of aspies who got started here and are streaming now. some of them are inclining. some aren't.

>>17477120
any links?

The anniversary of this thread happens to fall on my real life birthday. So that's neat

>>17477993
do you want a link to everyone or just the ones who are doing well

>>17478224
rhe ones who are doing well

>>17478284
Gonna go from doing the best to doing modestly well, with the bar being at least 20ccv

how important is eastern anime style art for a model? I can do my own art but I can't do anime style for shit, is it worth me hiring someone to recreate my design?

>>17479892
Get what you want, there's popular people with all types of avatars.

Thoughts on this microphone compared to the Shure? It was created by the people who made the goxlr.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1UXhQ9sXGGQ

>>17479033
>pretty unique model that is apparently going to under go an upgrade sometime in the future.
Man, I really hope it doesn't unless she's the one drawing it.

Just find out Code Vein is a cool game for giving artists some design references.

>>17482102
The customization engine alone is worth it for creating OCs if it's ever just on sale.

>>17482102
isn't there some korean mmo that is known for this?

>>17481039
until they come out with a price point and make it available, it doesn't matter.

>>17484357
Yeah but these Korean MMO aren't anime style though?

>>17482024
she got heavenstobetsy to do her new ref sheet so i'm sure it'll still be in a style that fits her

>>17485778
it's $300 and a waste of money

Is using SKIMA.jp viable for someone who isn't fluent in Japanese? I've commissioned off skeb before by relying on DeepL and Google Translate to get my message across.

What I'm after is trying to commission artists on skima to create a character sheets with outfit designs to use as a reference for a Live2D commission. I have an existing character sheet I could use for a visual guide, altho the character sheet was done rather shit which I paid only $40 for.

Trying to add a cape to my Vroid. I’ve got a free model online, loosely placed it on my model’s shoulders in Blender, but it won’t let me export it to .vrm. I tried a workaround using Unity but that strips all the color off of my model. Anybody have any advice?

How much chest can a male show on Twitch? I assume totally topless is no good. Are there any guidelines set for vtubers on the platform at all?

>>17491242
Totally topless seems fine, Kainen gets away with it

>>17491242
Vtubers follow the same guidelines as IRL streamers unless they're in VRChat. They're more lenient with that because it's technically a game.

>>17491540
>Kainen
Oh hey, his open chested flannel is pretty much exactly what I had in mind. Well, not flannel, but if he's getting away with it then I'm sure it'll be no trouble for me either.
>>17491720
Yeah, it looks like their guidelines haven't got anything about male nipples (especially context permitting like beach streams and whatnot)

Do any of you feel extremely embarrassed talking to literally no one? I enjoy streaming, but it just makes me feel like a retard schizo speaking to computer screen with no one on the other end.

>>17494129
if you consider that you're creating an archive of videos then you're effectively just recording your thoughts even if no one is there
you're fine buddy

>>17494129
I don't think you need to talk to zero people.

>>17494522
You need to talk to zero people if you suck that much at networking and can't scrap together 6 viewers. What happens when someone actually joins and you're sitting there silently, not reacting or saying a single word?

anons I want to post some slideshow-style animated shorts on youtube/tiktok, are there any advices on how to evaluate the content and have it gain as much tractions as possible?

>>17494756
Look up animatics

>>17482102
TERA online is free and has the best depth character customization. Try it, it will feel like drawing your own character.

>>17494709
Starting from zero zero is tricky all around, nobody who clicks a zero viewer is expecting a normal streamer talking non stop or even acknowledgement (Don't say hi when you see someone join and God please do not have a chat bot welcoming people, only say hi when people say hi first.)

Anyone who opens these streams is just curious, the best you can do is focus on enjoying the game, music, or whatever you are doing and giving genuine reactions like laughing or frustration. That's why a lot of people stream while playing with friends in a voice chat so there's already "something" going on and it doesn't seem like the streamer is waiting for someone to say hi in chat. So you have to emulate something like that; enjoy whatever you are doing and maybe it will be interesting to someone.

Starting from zero is tough, having that 5 viewers from a discord, other twitch community or whatever makes all the difference.

>>17495454
That's good advice, thank you.

>>17495454
>having that 5 viewers from a discord, other twitch community or whatever makes all the difference.
Echoing this. I just started with my png last week to some discord friends and it helps build up the confidence. But not confident enough to post my vod for feedback yet

>>17494129
>tfw I already talk to a computer screen with nobody around anyway

don't worry about it too much bro you'll get over the embarrassment soon

>>17494129
If nobody watches you, then from the start to finish of the stream, treat it like you're getting content for a youtube video. Get some opinions out there, see what sticks well, or find an interesting subject of commentary, and you'll be able to get those words out without feeling overbearing to any viewers coming in, and will be able to explain to them why you've been talking to yourself this whole time too

>>17494129
No, I talk to myself all the damn time. I still hate hearing recording of my own voice though.

>>17444743
I really want to try bros, but idk if there's any market for males. Is it too late to start?

>>17507241
>market for males
there's plenty
>too late to start
about as late as trad face cam streaming. you won't get the novelty buff as a chuuba and it'll depend on how entertaining you are.

do you think you should act a certain way based on how your model is designed in order to grow? Such as with big titty models, do they do better when they act more horny and do GFE and with loli models do they do better doing little sister RP?

>>17510593
no. it doesn't matter how you play a character. what matters is how entertaining you are.

On the subject of getting a model, how would I go about commissioning a L2D model from a Japanese/Korean artist if I am an EOP?
I see this often where ENVtubers don't speak their artist's language, wondering how they negotiate getting a L2D model (especially if said artist hasn't done any L2Ds before) and additionally character design. I'm aware that character design is often done with a separate artist than the model, but I'm wondering about working with language barrier when it comes to character design too.

>>17512714
use DeepL to translate

>>17510668
entertainment is subjective

>>17512909
numbers don't care

>>17512909
>entertainment is subjective
Yes and the only thing that matters is what the majority finds entertaining. Why do you think top streamers across most niches have similar content? Is Physics entertaining to some people? Sure. Will it get gets you views on Twitch? Most likely not unless you're bringing in some pre-established audience.

Entertainment is TECHNICALLY subjective but which do you think gets more viewers, a guy doing math on a whiteboard for their community or a guy watching funny videos with their community?

How do you deal with people that refuse to leave you alone?
I'm only at 25 followers and some guy who followed me yesterday is desperately shilling his portfolio to me to commission layouts and logos.

Do I just ignore him?

>>17516936
>I'm only at 25 followers
>desperately shilling his portfolio
he's a scammer. just block him. there are thousands of them trying to scam smaller chuubas and streamers with stolen artwork and overlays.

>>17494709
Anon I went and checked some 1 views yesterday. Saw someone playing a game I like. I joined for 5 minutes and not a single word. I just left.

>>17517022
yeah I figured, but I didn't know this was a standard MO nowadays

fucking wack

I remember someone saying in a different thread that Millie from NijiEN did everything that, according to Mocca, will make a chuuba fail, yet still succeeded. Now, what did Mocca say?

>>17517697
>what did Mocca say
About failing, obviously, not about Millie.

>>17517697
Mooca said a lot of shit that doesn't matter anymore in 2022. You can safely ignore everything because Mocca still operates off 2019 information.

>Want to be an anime girl on stream

>>17514426
If it were that simple, then every other streamer would be blowing up just like them. But they aren’t. After scrolling through 100 channels reacting to YouTube videos, people are only going to watch the top viewing streams regardless if they are actually entertaining or not. They are there solely because of the number.

Posted my debut video on Twitter and YouTube earlier. I remember reading about Plebbit promotion; where do people post, and is it even worth it?

>>17520789
viewerfag please shut the fuck up

>>17520789
I'm not even sure what you're trying to say, none of it made sense at all. The reason every other streamer isn't blowing up is because just the act of doing something isn't enough, you still need to be an entertaining streamer or content creator yourself.

>people are only going to watch the top viewing streams regardless if they are actually entertaining or not
Then how do new names keep consistently popping up and growing all the time? They create content, others like the content they're creating despite it being the same thing others are creating essentially, except with their own personality or whatever they bring to it. Look at all the top Vtubers, or even just streamers in general.

Do you not see a difference between someone with 50 views and someone with 5,000 at all? There's people who have hovered in the 50-range for years despite others coming up from nothing to thousands of viewers in that time or less even though people are supposedly"only going to watch whoever has the numbers".

Upsie daysie

how much money did you spend so far on your dream to become a Vtuber?

>>17531084
£0.00

>>17531084
nothing

>>17531084
Nothing because I still can't find an artist I like that's taking comms to make my model...

>>17531084
$0 unless you count the Live2D student license fee
I plan to make that back with commissions though.

>>17531084
>$10 for a Vtube Studio license (caught it on sale)
>$300 for an avatar (haven't paid for rigging yet)
>$46 for a microphone
>$58 for a webcam
So, about $414 so far. This is of course excluding the PC that I built in 2020 (RTX 2060, Ryzen 5 3600 4.4GHz, 16gb RAM) for a little shy of $1000.
I just filed my taxes yesterday and realized that I never got the third wave of stimulus payments from the US government that went out in March of last year, so I'm probably about to go ahead and pay for rigging sooner than I planned. I'm thankfully still on track to start streaming at the beginning of next month just like I had planned at the end of last year.

bump

>>17531084
About 150 bucks for everything related to vtubing (model, rigging and extras I can't remember).

>>17531084
around 800 all together. Planning on getting some other stuff made, will probably get to about 1000. Ended up extremely lucky on the model and rigging or it would've cost twice as much.

>>17531084
0

If i just buy everything like >>17534244 I think its going to end up looking shittier or generic branding wise vs authentic

So everythings basic or DIY until i build a community then I base the model etc. around those memes and what pops for them.

>>17538265
Wow, sorry I'm not authentic enough for you anon. For what it's worth, I came up with a basic design on my own before commissioning an avatar from someone. I wanted to have something I would feel confident performing behind that looked nice, and after two months of working on something of my own I admitted to myself that I would be better off commissioning something from someone else.

>>17538451
stop replying to weak bait. if you get triggered over an anonymous comment how are you going to act when people start giving you shit in twitter DMs and twitch chat?

>>17538598
Obviously not the same way because I won't be killing time on an anonymous image board while I'm at my day job.

>>17538265
>If i just buy everything I think its going to end up looking shittier or generic branding wise vs authentic
people who get generic shit made would have generic shit if they made things on their own for free. authenticity and originality haven't been valid branding points for years either, next you're gonna tell me your chair is organic straight from the farm and your mic was made from locally sourced organic produce

>>17531084
£30 on a character design, £40 on a reactive png. About £80 across multiple sets of emotes. £15 for my standard overlays, £5 for a specific set for challenge runs. £10 for a vroid (someone wanted to try the new version). (£180)
£10 for a cheap microphone to begin with, £100 for an updated one when that broke. (£390).
Probably around £100 in games, although I'd probably planned on playing most of them anyway?
So far had payouts of £350, plus some still sitting in Twitch.

Other than that, I also spent £3500 on a top-end PC (3090 and all the everything else), but I needed a new one anyway.
And also four skeb/art comms, totalling around £200.

So not broke even, but pretty damn close. And I don't even break a 10CCV.

>>17538451
>>17538796

I'm saying this cause I don't have a design background jesus christ chill your allowed to buy stuff I just wouldn't know what was good or not

the 'if I' part of my statement was very important offended cash cats

>>17539035
it was a pretty misleading statement considering someone else thought it was bait too but it seems like you're an esl

It's my first time posting on 4chan haha but what do vtubers who pop by usually do when they wanna ask for opinions on how they are as a streamer? Obviously there's showing videos but I'm also really paranoid about a lot of potential doxxing lmao

Also im wondering what's the view of non-western english-speaking vtubers? I don't have a nice American/European accent cuz im not from those countries but en is my main language. Do you think this will hinder me greatly as a vtuber in the en sphere?

>>17539035
Yeah, my bad I guess. I'm still bristling at being called a "cash cat" in all honesty but I took issue with what I said because you phrased it as "If I just do what (Me) did I think it's going to end up looking shittier or generic branding wise"

>>17539437
As long as you're understandable you should be fine; just share a link if you want critique
you won't get doxxed by selfposting, silly

>>17539437
there's plenty of well-off australian if you count that as non-west. I know people get turned off by SEA english accents based on anecdotes from my friends but as long as your voice and your sentences are clear, you should be good
and people post their vods here all the time, nobody's gonna care that much unless you already have an existing anti or some shit but that's unlikely since you came to this thread in the first place

>>17539385
>it was a pretty misleading statement considering someone else thought it was bait too but it seems like you're an esl

yea i just type w/e i thought and if its bad its bad, it's 4chan

>>17539449
> I'm still bristling at being called a "cash cat"
Fair, "cash cat" thing like the meta to start vtubin is buying stuff immediately, this is the same shit that happened in twitch streaming when it started being profitable. Makes an industry of artists to specialize in making xyz for stream assets, then the streamer house 1k plus in red is a 0 viewer andy. It's putting the cart before the horse, which is okay if you're willing with losing some cash or just in it for fun BUT it seems like its the requirement or your at a much larger disadvantage than what that disadvantage is in reality. Where there are other risks that aren't spoken about like a big chance of fucking up that art buy, like for me idk art/design outside typography I don't think I'm going to be able to articulate a design that will be worth the money

>>17540216
out of curiosity, what country are you from? you better not be bosnian

Is there growth potential in playing retro games?

>>17540216
>it seems like its the requirement or your at a much larger disadvantage than what that disadvantage is in reality
nta but I don't understand this part? You mean it's not as big of a disadvantage as people make it seem, or it is a disadvantage? I think not having something decent can be, even as a chuuba I'll admit I usually click on things that are visually attractive in some waybut I think that's the same with most people, it's the reason thumbnails are even a thing.

>Where there are other risks that aren't spoken about like a big chance of fucking up that art buy, like for me idk art/design outside typography I don't think I'm going to be able to articulate a design that will be worth the money
Vtubing is honestly pretty risk-free aside from the chance an artist will phone it in or just put you on a backburner for a year but the only reason they get away with that is because people are such pussies they let them get away with it with no backcharge, confrontation, or callout.

Not being able to articulate what you want shouldn't be that big of an issue though since everything you could possible want has been done already, making it easy to piece together a series of references (hair, clothing, accessories, visual personality, designs similar to what you want, etc) via making a collage of different design traits you like. A good character designer should be able to piece together a decent design from these since it's how they typically operate anyway.

>>17540546
There's growth potential in anything if you can be entertaining while you play. People are going to link you Dot or Maroony who are successful but there's still plenty of people out there playing retro games that can't even scrounge together 5 viewers because they can't entertain.

>>17540273
i'm just bad at english as a canadian, i just basically list ideas/words then add structure after. for 4chan i skip last step cause it lowkey feels like a waste trying since ill be ignored at the same regardless


>>17540546
stream only to farm content, then make that content for your demographics primary social medias

Question is if you can make good content with it

>>17540825
>i just basically list ideas/words then add structure after. for 4chan i skip last step cause it lowkey feels like a waste trying since ill be ignored at the same regardless
Maybe highkey try to structure your posts a little bit more youngblood

>he's still taking the bait
ask me how i know you're ngmi

>>17540569

>You mean it's not as big of a disadvantage as people make it seem, or it is a disadvantage?
I mean both, yes its a disadvantage however it's not so being that it should be your first problem to fix for your growth.

The disadvantage to having a png light up as your talking or even no img/model at all, isn't as large as one thinks. Where end of the day your trying to make content people want to watch, were sure having those elements help the stream but it isn't make or break for content creators. Look at most ani-tubers huge ones are faceless video-essaists.


>Vtubing is honestly pretty risk-free aside from the chance an artist will phone it in or just put you on a backburner for a year

Mostly talking quality and if it fits what your brand is and getting stuff that isn't just cookie cutter/phoned in.(even worse if your new and can't tell)

There's a lot of ephemeral things you want out of a character design to communicate and to let you get the most out of it comedy/entertainment where the more it links with your personality the stronger the engagement. Imagine if k-on came out with the meta art style of the time(which everyone hated but no production wanted to risk change), it would have severely hurt its chances of growing to what is a medium changing show. (for another extreme example imagine loli voice on a dommy mommy model or vice versa, you don't know how your personality may resonate with your audience or how you'll grow as an entertainer)


>Maybe highkey try to structure your posts a little bit more youngblood
i refuse also the only advantage to being terrible with english is vtuber wise my audience thinks i'm retarded since I sound like a loli, it doesn't effect my real work and lets me play up the character.

if people don't understand or hate what I say when leaning hard into it on 4chan then w/e

Is Speedtest reliable for checking connection speed? Should I change the server to which I connect for testing it?

>>17541556

>>17541502
>you don't know how your personality may resonate with your audience
Except all this takes is common sense. If you're a soft voiced twink, don't pick a big, strong yaoi man with bedroom eyes. You can say "haha juxtaposition so funny" but that only works if you can actually get viewers to begin with. Nothing about picking something that suits "your brand" or whatever is difficult.

>>17544100
>Nothing about picking something that suits "your brand" or whatever is difficult.

well I talking about actually getting your moneys worth when your starting. I was just picking obvious things as an example there are plenty of theme choices you can later regret then have to get it redone.

branding/marketing can add so much its stupid, not treating it like it is hard is leaving growth on the table. Look at hololive each generation release, instant fame not only from marketing but because it's designed for the voice actor/actress that are able to hold that huge gain in views. (which is still impressive for vague example plenty of small streamers get raided on twitch few are able to keep any viewers)

>>17539002
>payouts of £350, plus some still sitting in Twitch

>>17544900
Seven months. The majority of the payout was from the Raid sponsorship, which I took because it completely covered all of my costs at that point and I'm a sellout.

Kenji is also black and he made partner. doesn't matter but you should be ready to shoot down virtue signaling sjws on twitter. kenji needs to do it once every other month or so but always uses it to his advantage to gain publicity.

>>17556277
Are you gonna pull a michael jackson where your vtuber model is gonna be white? I don't think people would mind it desu

>>17556277
No one cares, do what you want. Ignore any criticisms because a majority of the time they do not come from people who were interested in you to begin with and only serve to help you get attention from people who want to check you out because of it.

>>17556400
>playing the racecard to get high numbers
Yes because all the other "openly" black chuubas are pulling insane views, /pol/chama. All the top streamers are also black due to that whacky zeitgeist we got going on as well, there's definitely not a few handfuls at best out of the top 1,000 Twitch streamers.

not trying to cry "racism" just pointing out how retarded you sound

>>17556277
I think it's interesting to at least try to match you a little bit, with your "energy", like if you are a buff dude who rages you don't make a blonde loli angel avatar, etc, but it doesn't necesserily need to match skin tone so go with what you like.


>>17558000
Your mostly right, specially as a vtuber, there isn't much to be gained by playing the "racecard" other than alienating some people and attracting the worst kind of people.

Best of luck to you or the black dude with vtubing.

>>17553840
this is good bait.

So apparently despite setting several object parameters to 1.0 in Cubism Editor they are slightly misaligned for some reason, is there a way to fix this?

>>17444743
Assuming I already have nice character art, what's a 3D model cost these days?

>>17565487
Very rarely you can get one for around 800, but everything else is 1500+ for a non-vroid.

>>17565128
You'll have to give a bit more detail. Are they in the correct position at 0? Are they set to go from -1 to 1 like normal or did you change it? How does the misalignment look? It's likely that the objects were moved when their positions at certain parameter values had already been set earlier.

>>17566453
Basically this is how it looks. They are all set to change position at 1.0 it's however not aligned perfectly to the same spot of 1.0 (I assume it's taking it as 1.0.1, 1.0.2, 1.0.3 and that's bringing me problems.

>>17566743
You have to clear the entire value and type in 1.0 to accurately get the 1.0 you want. Never trust the slider, even at the very ends of them.

>>17566828
Welp that's gonna take a while. Thanks.

>>17444743
What's the best/most used program for 3D?

>>17568836
Blender, I’m pretty sure.

>>17568836
Vseeface

>>17568836
depends for what.
blender is the go to for generic free 3d modeling, its basically the bread of the modeling world.

>>17568908
>>17568917
>>17568962
Sorry I wasn't very specific. I meant what program is most used for the actual Vtubing part. I'm trying to get characters made, and I'm having trouble because I don't know what features a model is normally delivered with.

I'm going to need models which, in addition to being usable for normal vtubing purposes in a program like VSeeFace, also have rigs with inverse kinematics that will let me easily animate with them in Blender, and also be a humanoid in Unity so I can easily apply animations for game development purposes. How much of a hurdle would this be to commission?

so... reading the jermacraft copypasta is normal for /asp/ies right

>>17569843
Models don't have "inverse kinematics" that's a software thing, and if you're animating the rig itself you wouldn't need IK to begin with because you're animating the bones (or mesh I guess?) by hand. IK is only needed when you're using a 3D model tracking solution.

>>17571079
alright aspies lets see those vocaroos

>>17571083
>you wouldn't need IK to begin with because you're animating the bones (or mesh I guess?) by hand.
I'm not sure we're talking about the same thing. I'm referring to this, which is used for animation:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0bFrZn8xlLw
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S-2v_CKmVE8

The movement of the bone at the end of a chain of bones is used to reverse engineer the positions of the bones prior to it, instead of vice versa (FK). Every VRM I've seen does not do this despite it being very common, and I don't know if this is normal or some kind of requirement of the format.

>>17572231
IK is a software thing, like I said. You need to edit the model's armature, which is literally what the first guide says. VRMs are just humanoid models, you can apply this same guide to them. Every single 3D VTuber out there (VRM or otherwise) uses inverse kinematics otherwise their models would have no way of moving in a fairly natural way.

>>17571730
https://voca.ro/1o2uwMmmdzXO

I adlibbed a bit because I got tired of reading it straight for several takes

>>17572566
>Every single 3D VTuber out there (VRM or otherwise) uses inverse kinematics otherwise their models would have no way of moving in a fairly natural way.
Oh goddamn it. I take it that this means something's going wrong when I import a VRM into Blender. I should have assumed that this was the case, rather than assuming that they didn't have IK. Thanks, Anon. In that case, wouldn't any VRM fit the usage criteria I outlined?
>(VRM or otherwise)
What other formats exist, and why would you get/use them instead of VRM?

>>17573563
Any VRM and realistically any 3D model with a humanoid armature would fit the usage criteria, yes. Aside from VRM, other formats used with a humanoid armature work depending on the program, VRM is just the most common for Vtubing. I believe the VShojo 3D users are using and FBX format for example, and others who use VSeeface use a format they created(?) called VSF that allows for many more options than a VRM does if you know anything about Unity, but really it doesn't matter if you're animating the model by hand and not with a webcam, iphone, or other external tracking solution.

If you are, just stick to VRM+Webcam or Iphone and Vseeface

>>17571730

>>17571083
For vtubing, it's not the models that have IK. That's all managed by the software. The model just needs to have a standard humanoid rig with the hip bone being the root. If you spend time in blender to set up IK for your model, it won't translate to any vtubing software, so don't bother unless you want to animate in blender.

>>17574212
When they're not using full body, they're using VSeeFace I think, so it's still VRM or VSFAvatar, which is VRM with extra Unity components. There isn't really any vtuber software that directly uses FBX other than maybe hitogata.

nta but go double check the translation it with google translate. deepl usually gives out a more natural english translation but at the same time this tech can be a con itself. google translate is a bit more literal but suggests more alternative related words.

Does anyone have any tips on how to make better thumbnails and titles to get people to watch your stream highlights? I try looking at other popular youtuber/chuubas highlights that get tons of views and it's so confusing on why their stuff gets clicked on because it doesn't seem that optimized in SEO.

deadpan can work but you aren't clear/loud enough, definitely couldnt make out some of the words

>>17556277
Why don't you seize this as an opportunity to fill for the niche?
Sure people hate niggers, but going for a niche pretty much guarantees having a good following. On /biz/ we have someone who is doing videos of burping and patting his fat belly on onlyfans and he's making bank. Even niggers aren't worse than that.

>>17610590
Mhm, I suspected as much. What can I do to improve on it if being louder is out of the question?

my model is currently halfway done and im starting to think about the actual lead up. my plan was to try and create a twitter to promo and gain traction, do a few lower-key pre debut streams and do a 'real' debut when i hit 1k. does this sound like a good idea or too lofty? honestly a lot of my peers havent done debut streams, just jumped into it straight or have ignored the idea of follower milestones, but that seems impatient to me.

>>17612600
>but that seems impatient to me.
just start. no one cares about debuts.

>>17556277
eh, while personally i go 'huh' if i find out mostly its just kinda funny to me personally. only the most annoying people in the world will care or try to give you shit about it, so if its what you wanna do, why not?

one of the nijisanji fags had an entire manga as his 'backstory' for his debut stream about how he was the leader of a proud samurai clan and then very quietly admitted he only spoke english during his little slideshow portion lol, i dont think its any goofier than that.

hello frens been streaming for a good year, but considering i don't actually use any social media i obviously have basically no viewers still, on top of that i work full time in shifts and im an eurofag so stream times are not very consistent or convenient.

I've been tweeting a little bit recently, but i hate using the site spamming hashtags and interacting with others just to have a chance to get some exposure. id rather have my profile be free of that and only contain random garbage thoughts and the occasional topical shittake. (+ stream start link)

i enjoy vtubing and i definitely don't want any money out of it, but having like 10-100 viewers would make it more interesting because i like interacting a lot.

should i start shilling more, or just keep doing random game streams to get the odd viewers from twitch directly?

>>17619429
Did you try shilling yourself on /vt/

>>17616656
Twitch ate the cost for the first year or so, now they no longer do. Bits are really the best Twitch-managed way to give, but direct donations give the most.

Well there's probably some truth to that, since I live in a small apartment with my family. Would you say it's a speech problem or a mic problem that I should be working on?
Kind of a shame I'm not live right now, since I'm currently having a mini freak out about a bug in my room, that would help me emote for sure
>>17620041
Yeah, I've been trying to tweak it. I've been using the だれでも pngtubing program that was posted a long time ago, which I think is still in the pastebin. I've noticed that the mouth keeps moving for few seconds after I stop talking but changing the gain on the mic doesn't seem to help with it.

>>17620905
It's a speech problem, even if your microphone was maximum comfortable volume for viewers, insanely clear and high quality etc it doesn't affect the way you speak.

Is there any trick/practice to help you having more controlled on your breathing/swallowing? Been listening to my own recording and those small bits of breathing/swallowing really irk me.

>>17619429
Stream, use discord, get into your country's-specific groups. Retweet fanart, if any. Get a youtube account to post clips of yourself, use it for general stuff, like commenting. A lot of people click into eachother's profiles there, you don't even need to openly advertise yourself.

Unless you're a dude, or a tranny. I which case you have the option of fucking killing yourself already, faggot

>>17620978
I see, I'll definitely try to work on that. Knowing how to emote is something I know I struggle with.

Quit your day job, cut off all contacts with your friends and family so no longer have any source of income. You then have to force yourself to make it or die trying. Please don't actually do it though.

i have a debut/introduction stream coming up soon and when i can im trying to get more content up to entice people to get to my channel. im planning on streaming a bit more before and uploading shorter videos to youtube, posting to reddit, etc. are there any other ways i can get eyes on me? ive been around for a bit but am able to regularly stream create now and really want to at least have 5-10 people on my stream (twitch). my last stream did get 5 avg and they were mostly friends vs general people.

>>17494129
please never stream with 0-1 views. before the first second of video you should already have people watching. otherwise it is not worth it and it is better to do a reset and start everything from the beginning or do something else.

I don't stream but I had a small yt channel about 10 years ago (700 - 800 subs). I shared the first video with my RL friends and it started with 10 views. from there only 2 shared it, but it gave a little more visits and only 1 sub.

With the following videos, the algorithm never helped me. What helped me was having some interesting content for a niche, a lot, a lot of networking, and luck. that gave slow growth, 100 views videos.

one day a post with a video of mine became momentarily popular and gave me 5k views and about 50 subs. that gave me the momentum to grow faster and reach 500+ subs.

now these days that you have more competition it is very necessary that you have an audience before you start. organic growth no longer exists. now it's about having a stable audience, creating great content and doing a lot of networking just to have a chance to momentarily go viral and build on the momentum. Without that momentum you're not going to get anywhere with this. in the end it's 80% luck, but if you don't do any of that you lose the opportunity.

Recently got a new mic. I hope the quality is okay, though it might emphasize my accent

>>17651026
Cute voice, cute accent

>>17650957
>I have zero streaming and video editing experience
Why would you even bother applying?

>>17650957
>Bros any tips for niji auditions?
Nina and Hana talked about them on some zatsudans. Plus either >>17136647 or >>17104511 have experience of some anon who was in niji audition and almost got inside.
>zero streaming and video editing experience
Focus on these.

>>17651821
I think of it as a job application, I was rejected by my current firm 3 times in the past and finally made it in after accumulating enough experience. Making and editing the audition video itself would be a good experience for me, and with the tips from >>17651894, I can focus on tinkering with streaming stuff first. Thanks for the tips anon

It feel like you erase the end of your words too much.

Also stop calling yourself this. Like it or not, your primary audience would be normalfags. Probably a bad idea to show your powerlevel to them.

>>17494129
I've started just doing weekly videos, and found myself talking a little bit more every time, even if it is to zero audience. I think if you keep at it, you'll shake off the nervousness and embarrassment soon enough.

>>17653246
yeah, i speak really hastily when i read stuff and end my words really quickly. bad habit i need to kick.

>>17650957
Start applying. There's usually a time period in between applications when you're not allowed to apply again (don't spam them), and you can use that time to improve. Same with streaming, start today. Every audition video you'll learn your mistakes and make the next video better. I'm doing the same but for holoEN, I have some basic skills (drawing, singing, etc.) and I will be getting into streaming so that in my next application I'll have more experience. All the best to you!

>>17650957
>Should I focus on video editing for the video submission first, or should I brush up my nipspeak?

Neither. Both of those are irrelevant and you need to learn how to stream

>>17635071
when did you submit your application? Still no views on mine

>>17571730
Is this too tryhard? Also, getting rid of my accent is almost impossible

Here's a lifehack for getting views that people don't know about. The "playing for viewers tag." I average 5 views but have peaked as high as 20 viewers consistently every time I played a game with it.

>>17656894
I've used "playing with viewers" a couple of times, and it does seem to help

>>17635071
Could you share tips on what you wrote in the form? :o

>>17516936
Just block that account or don't respond and block the notification for that account.
Don't feel bad, he is like the other anon said, a scammer.

>>17656636
i really want to listen to this but its physically difficult to continue past the first three words

>>17658251
It gets better, skip the first 10 or so seconds
>>17656636
At the start, you literally sound like one of those wooden dolls VAs, who gets to play the troublemaker clown. Get your hype about ladies down. The second part is ok, the accent is ok, you vaguely sound like olive, I mean Italian.

>>17656636
A bit too tryhard, but you have a pretty good voice, pretty good recording quality too as far as I'm concern. Just keep the act down and I think you'd be good.

what do if i am an aspiring yagoo?
serious question

>>17659887
do you have the money and business experience?
if not, then perish

>>17658544
>>17658790
Appreciate the feedback, will dial it down and work on it.
>troublemaker clown
That's pretty spot on, was typecasted as the boisterous comic relief during my stage play days

>>17659887
Have experience managing an entertainment company? If no, aspire to do something else.

>>17651026
C-cute!!

>>17653000
Trips of luck, ganbare anon!

>>17641115
Acquire friends.

If you can't do even that you don't have the charisma for this.

>>17479892
Do what your style dictates; I'm essentially making a "realistic" model for my purposes, and it's been fun to learn how to adjust for my project's style from the tutorials I've seen. (Who knew jiggle physics could apply to non-organic models?)

>>17490707
(Apologizes if I'm wrong; I'm a blender noob and will essentially be doing the same thing you are)
Have you exported the material used in the model? Depending on the format by which you exported your model, the materials may not be included, in which case, you'll have to export the material and re-apply it in Unity

>>17660252
>>17660362
that's like saying don't be a streamer if you haven't streamed before
how else would you gain experience?

>>17661300
The difference is that managing shit has a lot more money on the line and has a lot more to take into consideration. Manager is literally not a job for the inexperience, literally any kind of manager.

>>17661300
either bait or genuinely has never worked a real job in their life

>>17661300
Clicking a few buttons in OBS and talking to a screen is slightly less complex than starting a business. Want experience? Get education in a related field and then a job in a mass media company.

What's the best course of action if you play games with some close friends who are also streamers, but one of em insists on referring to you by your real name? I get he doesn't care if people know their name, but I'd still appreciate if they called me by my "stage name". This isn't a friend I'm willing to ditch over something as simple as a name, though

>>17661821
You've got two options anon:
1 - Let him dox you
2 - Don't play with him

That's it. If he refuses to refer to you by your stage name, then there's not really anything else you can do.

>>17661821
>>17661953
Or you know, just don't stream while playing with your friend?

>>17635234
>now these days that you have more competition it is very necessary that you have an audience before you start. organic growth no longer exists
Pretty much what I learned from watching Pippa's debut.

>>17661821
Oh, I've seen this before with IRL streamers.
Just don't play with him on stream if he can't do that for you, swapping name usage isn't difficult so if he's insistent on using your real name from the getgo then there's no hope of getting him to change his mind and the issue shouldn't be pushed. If he's salty that you won't play with him then that's on him, it's the difference between just him having to adjust his language slightly vs your stream being a little awkward for the viewers.
>>17662035
It sounds like he wants to collab with his friends since they're also streamers though?

>>17662160
>It sounds like he wants to collab with his friends since they're also streamers though?
Dude is making efforts building himself a persona, no matter how good friend they are he can't just let him destroy that.

>>17641115
Well I think you should work on that first. When I say networking is not just having contacts, it can be good to have some that are in the field or with similar topics, but the best ones for me were the ones that I genuinely liked and I honestly commented on them. I wasn't good at initiating friendships (outside of the few RL friends), but I suppose that they, seeing a genuine intention, approached me, even inviting me to their group. After a while you become the one that others comment on and you can help the new ones.

Regarding your problem, you can try doing activities with other people or participate in a community and try to find people who genuinely interest you.
