[0:06] Welcome to the Emochi 2D crash course.
[0:08] If you cannot use Live2D or you heard
[0:10] whispers about an alternative out there
[0:12] and want to learn more, then this course
[0:14] is for you.
[0:15] The focus of this course will be on how
[0:16] to use the program rather than how to
[0:18] make a model from start to finish.
[0:21] The goal is to create an understanding
[0:23] of the basics, which will then allow you
[0:24] to follow along with your favorite
[0:26] Live2D tutorials and make your Vtubing
[0:28] dreams come true.
[0:30] So, what exactly is Emochi 2D?
[0:34] Well, it's open-source software that
[0:36] consists of two programs.
[0:39] First is Emochi Creator, which allows
[0:41] you to not only rig your model,
[0:43] but also to create animations.
[0:46] Second is Emochi Session, which allows
[0:49] you to use tracking software to bring
[0:50] your model to life and jump straight
[0:52] into Vtubing.
[0:56] You can download both programs either
[0:58] through the official website or through
[0:59] itch.io.
[1:01] For Emochi Creator, you have two
[1:03] options. You can get the evaluation
[1:05] version, which is free with no time
[1:07] limit, or the paid version, which is
[1:09] currently set to a one-time fee of $40.
[1:12] The only difference between the two is
[1:15] the evaluation version has a 10-second
[1:17] screen on startup encouraging you to
[1:19] support the project. No other
[1:21] limitations, no restrictions.
[1:25] Emochi Session, on the other hand, is
[1:27] completely free.
[1:29] For this course, I'll be using the free
[1:31] evaluation version of Emochi Creator.
[1:35] Now, while all of this sounds like a
[1:37] dream come true, there are two things I
[1:40] need you to know before moving forward.
[1:42] First and foremost, Emochi 2D is a work
[1:45] in progress, but is functional for
[1:47] Vtubing. Second, Emochi 2D is not
[1:50] compatible with Live2D as they use
[1:52] different file formats.
[1:56] Okay, let's end it here.
[1:58] Please download the programs and I will
[2:00] see you in the next video.
