[0:00] hi this is light and I'm the riger of
[0:02] the scores premade that we will be
[0:03] releasing soon since this model supports
[0:06] V Bridger we got a bunch of questions
[0:07] all about V Bridger so I'm here to
[0:09] explain as much as I can first of all
[0:11] what is V Bridger V Bridger is a fast
[0:13] tracking plugin for vtu Studio that
[0:15] allows for more accurate face tracking
[0:17] using the iPhone's AR kit tracking it is
[0:19] created by the arton and exerp what do
[0:22] you need for V Brier obviously you will
[0:24] need a model with v Bridger riging V
[0:26] Bridger ATT tracking device like iPhone
[0:29] webcam or Android ATT tracking software
[0:31] like ey facial Mo cap face motion 3D
[0:34] meow face VP Studio Nida tracking or
[0:36] media pipe when you first open a v
[0:39] Bridger via steam you're going to see
[0:40] this little window pop up which can look
[0:43] very confusing at first if you don't
[0:44] know what's going on but setup is
[0:45] actually a lot easier than you might
[0:47] think first you're going to go ahead and
[0:49] select whatever tracking softare you're
[0:50] using for tracking in this case I'm
[0:52] going to use ey facial map with my
[0:54] iPhone next you're going to look for
[0:56] your iPhone IP address usually that can
[0:58] be found in your Wi-Fi settings but in
[1:01] the case of IAL moap it is popping up
[1:03] right after you open I moap simply put
[1:07] the IP address in this little window
[1:08] right here and press connect to phone
[1:11] once you have that connected you will
[1:12] see that the head is now moving in order
[1:15] to connect VB with vtube Studio you need
[1:17] to make sure that you have plugins
[1:18] turned on in vtube studio to check
[1:21] simply go to the
[1:22] settings and the first icon scroll down
[1:26] until you see the vtube studio plugin
[1:28] just make sure that it's turned on once
[1:30] you have confirmed that it is turned on
[1:31] in vtu studio go back to V Brier and
[1:34] click on the little connect button on
[1:35] the bottom right in vtu studio there
[1:38] will now be a little popup window asking
[1:40] for Access simply click
[1:42] allow and boom now you connected with re
[1:45] Bridger if you want to connect with your
[1:47] webcam it's similar setup as the iPhone
[1:49] setup simply choose the tracking serfer
[1:51] you want to use first people will use
[1:53] Nidia tracking click Start and then this
[1:56] window on this little guy will pop up
[1:59] please ignore how laggy it is for me I
[2:01] have a really old webcam that does not
[2:03] track properly
[2:05] okay if you notice that you are looking
[2:07] a little bit to the far right even
[2:09] though you're looking straight ahead
[2:11] click simply calibrate and then boom
[2:13] easy done next up is Media pipe again
[2:18] simply click on the media pipe click
[2:21] Start and then there will also be
[2:23] tracking again same thing if you're
[2:25] looking to the side even though you're
[2:26] looking at the front make sure to just
[2:28] click calibrate
[2:30] only downside to webcam tracking is that
[2:33] um it does not
[2:34] support a separate jaw tracking so you
[2:37] cannot do stuff like um like the doie
[2:40] bird jaw like the shocked face please
[2:43] also ignore how funny the tracking looks
[2:46] right now I'm normally using iPhone the
[2:48] parameters I'm normally using do not
[2:50] work with webcam so I would technically
[2:51] need to go into V studio and adjust them
[2:54] just like with any other model you will
[2:56] need to make sure that the movement fits
[2:58] your own movement the riger will already
[3:01] have the model set up but according to
[3:03] their movement so the way they move may
[3:06] not be the way you move so for V Bridger
[3:08] in this case we will look for those
[3:11] parameters mouth smile mouth open jaw
[3:14] open shr lip press funnel pucker cheek
[3:19] puff I will go over what they do uh one
[3:22] by one first is mouth smile mouth smile
[3:25] is already in the name it tracks your
[3:28] mouth form AKA either smiley face or sad
[3:31] face mouth open is obviously the mouth
[3:34] open like the ah ah ah jaw open is for
[3:39] the jaw tracking also like
[3:42] the the chewing shr is the like a little
[3:47] like a little pouty
[3:48] face where your mouth moves upwards lip
[3:52] press is either like a Tey
[3:54] smile or pressing your lips together
[3:59] funnel is a little o like a little kissy
[4:02] phrase
[4:03] o pucker is again either shrinking your
[4:07] mouth a little together for more kissy
[4:09] or widening your mouth if you
[4:11] smile cheek puff
[4:14] is puffing your
[4:17] cheeks first up mouth smile feel free to
[4:20] copy all of my V settings to see if they
[4:22] work for you in case they don't we will
[4:25] now go over how to adjust them so if you
[4:27] see this and you're wondering what's
[4:29] going on don't worry I will explain so
[4:32] first on the left side you have the
[4:33] input which is the tracking input on the
[4:36] right side you have the output which is
[4:37] the which is the parameter in life 2D
[4:40] the Red Dot over here is the tracking
[4:42] input with a range that we will adjust
[4:44] later on the right side you have the
[4:46] output with the ma maximum and minimum
[4:48] of the life Tod parameter and then we
[4:50] have limit range limit range makes sure
[4:53] that the little red dot does not exceed
[4:55] our input this will cause the value to
[4:58] stop smoothly When approaching the limit
[5:01] then we have smoothing as the name says
[5:03] it will smooth the movement but it will
[5:05] also cause some sort of delay so for
[5:08] example if I now put my smoothing on
[5:10] 100% on my mouth you can see the mouth
[5:13] tracking suddenly becomes lot less
[5:15] accurate and snappy so in case of mouth
[5:18] I like to put it at either zero or one
[5:22] uh one for me personally because I like
[5:24] a little less Snappy M and I like a a
[5:26] little bit of SM like a little bit of
[5:28] like Smooth like transition
[5:31] so for mouth smile you want to start
[5:33] smiling and see what number you hit on
[5:34] the very
[5:35] left in my case it's Z it's 0.95 so I
[5:39] put that in here please note that the
[5:41] higher the number the more work you have
[5:44] to put in with your face in order to
[5:47] smile and the lower the less you have to
[5:50] smile so for example if I were to put it
[5:53] at let's say
[5:55] 0.7 I have to do a lot less work IRL to
[5:58] start smiling
[6:01] and just the slightest smile will
[6:03] trigger to go up and start tracking the
[6:05] full-on
[6:07] smile same we will do for the frowning
[6:10] or like the sad
[6:12] [Music]
[6:15] mouth let's say from
[6:19] 0
[6:25] [Music]
[6:27] 09 that's why I like the it's a bit too
[6:30] extreme for me
[6:33] right I don't like how fast or like how
[6:36] extreme that mouth goes into sad mouth
[6:39] I'm just going to keep it at zero
[6:40] because then I have to I would need to
[6:43] put like a little bit more work in to
[6:44] like start frowning but I like the way
[6:47] it looks for me I just put it at zero
[6:50] again play around with these numbers to
[6:52] see what fits best for
[6:53] you and then I limit my
[6:57] range and then next two mouth open same
[6:59] thing over here I'm going to unlimit
[7:01] these for you first
[7:04] so important thing to know that when you
[7:08] um adjust mouth open you want to make
[7:10] sure that you have the exact same
[7:12] numbers in jaw open that is because jaw
[7:15] open checks separately from the mouth
[7:18] open meaning the mouth open is simply
[7:20] just the movement of the O A going from
[7:24] close to ah open the jaw is like the
[7:27] inner mouth movement so or stuff
[7:31] like the jaw moving up and down so if
[7:34] the numbers don't match you can encou uh
[7:37] encounter something called dislocated
[7:39] jaw where it looks really funny and
[7:42] really weird where your jaw is not
[7:45] moving in line with your act mouth which
[7:48] can look a little bit funny so make sure
[7:51] that if you adjust these that they match
[7:55] again same for open mouth the lower this
[7:57] number is the less work you have to put
[7:59] it into opening your actual mouth please
[8:02] don't put it too low because that can
[8:05] result into some very Snappy mouth
[8:07] movement for example if I were to put at
[8:11] two that goes like this and I don't want
[8:13] this because I still want it to look
[8:15] natural and not like I
[8:16] am going
[8:20] crazy so again just talk normally and
[8:23] see what number you're usually hitting
[8:24] when
[8:25] talking the reason I put this to 0.08 is
[8:29] for the mouth to uh close a little
[8:31] earlier just so I don't have like little
[8:34] cuz I tend to have my mouth open a
[8:36] little bit while thinking working
[8:38] whatever so this is like a little
[8:39] threshold for me where the mouth opens a
[8:41] little H closes a little faster than if
[8:44] I put it on zero I can show you guys
[8:47] what looks like on zero the mouth closes
[8:50] a little bit um later now than what the
[8:53] before and I don't want that personally
[8:56] so I just put it a little bit higher to
[8:58] like 0.08
[9:00] so the mouth closes a little
[9:04] earlier next up is shrug which is again
[9:07] the moving your mouth up like a
[9:11] pout simply again same thing over here
[9:15] check what number you hit when you go
[9:17] [Music]
[9:21] pout
[9:23] around7 we could actually adjust that if
[9:26] you want some Snappy snappier truck I
[9:29] can
[9:30] go and
[9:34] now I go I go
[9:36] Snappy again I personally don't like
[9:39] that I want a less Snappy and more like
[9:42] I put more work to hit the
[9:45] maximum as you can see over here the
[9:46] output I hit the out the maximum output
[9:49] a lot faster if I put it at seven at 7
[9:52] than if I put it at
[9:55] one again personal preference adjust how
[9:58] to your liking
[10:00] lip press lip press is again either the
[10:03] smiley face which is the one up on top
[10:05] the or the on the bottom go smiley face
[10:11] and see what number you're
[10:13] hitting and go and then press your lips
[10:17] together to see what number you're
[10:18] hitting and adjust to your adjust
[10:21] accordingly again I put these at my
[10:23] numbers you go you go you you do you
[10:27] funnel is the little kissy mouth that I
[10:29] like the O sounds
[10:31] o
[10:34] o again same concept here do like a
[10:38] little old
[10:39] face next up is Packer same thing Packer
[10:42] again either widens the mouth and
[10:44] smiling so if I were to put this at the
[10:47] lower number
[10:49] so
[10:51] three my mouth would widen a lot
[10:55] more this only mostly affects when the
[10:58] mouth is closed instead of when the
[10:59] mouth is open uh so yeah uh upper the
[11:03] upper number is for like the widening of
[11:05] the mouth while the lower number is for
[11:07] like the posing together more
[11:11] H and then cheek puff cheek puff as the
[11:14] name says you cheek your you puff your
[11:18] cheeks again check what number you're
[11:20] hitting when you go cheek
[11:25] puff and put it in there something also
[11:28] read in the Twitter comments is that
[11:29] someone adjusted all of the rudo
[11:31] parameters but their mouth still barely
[11:33] moved and there's actually a little
[11:35] small thing for that that could help you
[11:38] that you probably didn't know
[11:40] about so in V Bridger you have this
[11:43] little thing over here says Bridget
[11:45] which is the name of her of the little
[11:47] gorgeous lady over here and then
[11:48] something called safe and load important
[11:52] for us is the load in this case which
[11:54] will open this little
[11:56] folder and also kill our tracking from V
[11:59] Bridger has a bunch of V Bridger presets
[12:02] which affect these things over here so
[12:05] the default will be Advanced AR kit
[12:07] settings V Bridger which is also what
[12:08] I'm using personally again personal
[12:10] preference this is all personal
[12:12] preference but there are a lot more with
[12:14] the newest being a kit version
[12:17] 3.0 these all have different kind of
[12:20] settings and sensitivities so just for
[12:22] example go with the two
[12:25] 2.0 and you can see it's a lot different
[12:28] and a lot like more reactive than the
[12:31] before if it's too reactive just go back
[12:33] to vtube Studio check the settings you
[12:36] need to check all of the settings not
[12:38] just the mouth as you can see the face
[12:39] the entire body is a lot more reactive
[12:42] now to just the smallest movement you
[12:44] will need to go through all of your
[12:45] vtube studio settings and check all the
[12:47] parameters and adjust
[12:49] accordingly if for some reason this is
[12:52] still you're like I still don't like
[12:53] this go back to this um for example try
[12:57] the 3.0
[12:59] and then see if it STS more to your
[13:01] liking again go ahead and adjust
[13:03] everything to your liking and see what
[13:05] works best for you another important
[13:07] thing to add us while setting up your
[13:09] parameters is important puppeteering is
[13:12] just as important you have probably seen
[13:14] it all over Twitter people complaining
[13:16] oh I got V Bridger I got this I got that
[13:19] but it doesn't look good it doesn't look
[13:21] the same as others and that is because
[13:23] you're not moving your face right B
[13:25] Bridger tracking is a lot more sensitive
[13:28] and accurate to your IR tracking than
[13:31] normal tracking as because you have a
[13:33] lot more range of movement now right you
[13:35] have like different facial movements you
[13:38] can do different mouth shapes you can do
[13:40] and those reflect your IRL movement a
[13:42] lot more so it is important to open your
[13:45] mouth exaggerate your mouth movement
[13:48] Unleash Your Inner anime girl and go
[13:51] ham I can only recommend pulling up your
[13:55] V model like a lot and just look look at
[13:59] it talk sing along every musical sing
[14:03] along just move move your mouth you it
[14:06] will be high at first I personally still
[14:09] struggle with it a lot I'm still
[14:11] practicing myself it will hurt your face
[14:15] if you just start doing it but it is so
[14:17] important for a really good looking and
[14:20] great
[14:21] looking great looking facial tracking
[14:25] there are some things that can make
[14:26] tracking a little harder one is
[14:28] excessive facial hair if you have a full
[14:30] beard tracking may not look as good for
[14:32] you as it does with others since the
[14:34] it's hard to track with a beard covering
[14:37] up most of the mouth or just like being
[14:39] in the way another thing I've heard a
[14:41] lot are glasses I myself I wear a
[14:43] glasses IRL I have not encountered any
[14:46] issues so far with for example eye
[14:48] tracking um but that's because I mostly
[14:51] probably in a well L room I have the
[14:54] kind the type of glasses uh where it
[14:56] doesn't reflect the light part um
[14:59] so I personally didn't have any issues
[15:02] so far with that another thing that I've
[15:04] seen a lot is the question where to
[15:06] place your phone so the best placement
[15:09] would technically be straight ahead of
[15:10] you but most of the time that would't
[15:12] work because you have your monitor in
[15:13] front of you probably so the setup of
[15:17] the phone is kind of depends on your own
[15:20] um monitor setup I personally have it a
[15:22] little like below my monitor facing
[15:25] pretty much straight still um at me uh
[15:29] um I've also seen people putting theirs
[15:31] above their monitor face uh like tilted
[15:34] down a little bit uh which I heard can
[15:37] work better for people that have like
[15:40] very pronounced Jaws um so it's
[15:43] basically just a lot of like checking
[15:46] replacing and seeing again what works
[15:48] best for you another thing I saw is um
[15:52] the question on how to keep your phone
[15:54] in the same position and I can highly
[15:57] highly highly highly recommend
[15:59] those phone stands from Amazon I have
[16:02] this one which look a little bunny which
[16:04] I thought was cute even though you
[16:05] cannot even see the bunny ears but any
[16:08] phone stand will do to keep your phone
[16:10] in place again I do recommend one that
[16:13] uh can also like you can tilt your phone
[16:15] maybe like up and down a little and just
[16:17] adjust it a lot more now question is
[16:20] what iPhone is best for tracking iPhone
[16:23] first introduces the whole AI kit and
[16:25] facial ID for the iPhones with the
[16:27] iPhone 10 so yes you can get an iPhone
[16:29] 10 for tracking I don't recommend it
[16:32] though because it it is the first phone
[16:34] of theirs that has that tracking so it's
[16:37] not as good as the newer ones no you
[16:39] don't need to get the new iPhone 2500
[16:42] million Pro Ultra for tracking anything
[16:46] after anything after iPhone 10 like
[16:48] iPhone 11 and upwards will work just
[16:51] fine I myself I'm also using an iPhone
[16:53] 11 just for tracking you also don't need
[16:55] to get a super new iPhone just for
[16:57] tracking if you already have an iPhone
[17:00] you can use that I got myself an iPhone
[17:02] just for the purpose of tracking since I
[17:04] already have a perfectly working phone
[17:06] but it's an Android so I I cannot use
[17:09] that for tracking I did not buy as
[17:12] myself a new phone I got myself a used
[17:15] phone um via refurbished I don't know if
[17:19] if it's global Shipping I know it
[17:22] shipped to Germany which they basically
[17:24] they have old the used phones and then
[17:26] they make them look new and resell them
[17:28] whatever you can also just look on eBay
[17:31] or wherever you can buy used electronics
[17:34] and see what works best uh so you don't
[17:38] need to go out and buy a brand new
[17:40] iPhone for this it can be used if for
[17:44] just if you just using it for tracking
[17:46] it does not need to be brand new I also
[17:48] saw the question if V Bridger works with
[17:50] 3D models and I've read that it does I
[17:53] cannot really talk about it much because
[17:55] I don't have a 3D model or one that
[17:57] supports AI kit or V briger so I would
[18:01] definitely go out and check on YouTube
[18:03] on Reddit or uh anywhere in the internet
[18:07] to see if PE like how to connect it
[18:09] there how to make it work cuz I wish I
[18:11] could show it to you guys but I don't
[18:12] have a 3D model like that if you ran
[18:15] into any problems for troubleshooting I
[18:18] highly highly recommend joining the vber
[18:20] Discord they have a whole section just
[18:23] for traveles shhoting and they're super
[18:24] helpful I've been there before as well
[18:27] because some issues I can highly highly
[18:30] highly recommend going there for
[18:31] troubleshooting if you have any other
[18:33] questions feel free to ask them I will
[18:36] try to answer them if not again the do
[18:38] Discord is always available they're
[18:40] super helpful and I can only recommend
[18:42] that if you guys made it to the end of
