[0:00] hey we're gonna be talking about one of
[0:01] the best b-tubing applications that you
[0:03] can get right now
[0:04] [Music]
[0:09] hey if you're interested in v-tubing or
[0:11] virtual production or just
[0:13] what i do in general drop a like and
[0:15] subscribe because once i hit 50 000
[0:17] subscribers i'll do a tour of my entire
[0:20] setup this is vc face you can download
[0:22] it from their website link in the
[0:24] description down below what's really
[0:26] really great about vc face is that it's
[0:28] basically open source it's made by a
[0:31] really small dedicated team em you're
[0:34] amazing please keep doing what you're
[0:36] doing and if you wanna know more about
[0:37] the application there's a lot of
[0:39] information on this website also there's
[0:41] a list of tutorials and everything that
[0:43] you can find anything you need to know
[0:45] will be listed here as well what we are
[0:49] going to be doing is uh we're going to
[0:50] be downloading the latest version so i'm
[0:53] going to go ahead and click and download
[0:55] and once it's finished downloading you
[0:57] can go ahead and
[0:59] open up the zip file that you see here i
[1:02] recommend just extracting it straight to
[1:04] your c drive just like i am doing right
[1:06] now if you already have bc face
[1:09] installed you might get this prompt uh
[1:11] i'm just going to go ahead and say
[1:13] replace all the files and the
[1:14] destination is just basically just going
[1:15] to update with all of the new files and
[1:18] then there you go you have vc face
[1:20] installed so now open the vc face folder
[1:23] and go ahead and double click bc face
[1:26] but the very first time you open vc face
[1:28] you're going to have a step-by-step
[1:30] tutorial on basically how to get it
[1:32] working just like here you can just
[1:33] click through i would take some time to
[1:35] review this stuff but basically it's
[1:37] saying how you can capture it in obs and
[1:40] do some basic things
[1:42] so now you should be at a screen like
[1:44] this what you'll notice is here on the
[1:46] screen you're gonna have a couple of
[1:47] things one is gonna be the website your
[1:49] current version whenever vc face needs
[1:52] an update you're actually going to see
[1:53] text right here in green telling you hey
[1:55] there is an update available for you
[1:58] uh and if you don't have a avatar
[2:00] already loaded into here
[2:02] you can use the default avatar that it
[2:05] comes with
[2:06] so what you should do first is find your
[2:09] webcam and choose your camera quality i
[2:13] recommend choosing the highest
[2:15] resolution and the highest frame rate
[2:16] that you have available to you and then
[2:19] here you can also choose your microphone
[2:22] so i'm going to choose these right here
[2:23] you can also click recommended settings
[2:25] i personally like to set these things
[2:27] manually and you can go ahead and start
[2:29] from here if you have your own model
[2:32] that you might have gotten from booth or
[2:34] some other places or you made your own
[2:35] inveroid you can go ahead and click add
[2:38] and add in your avatar and you're gonna
[2:40] see it appear with a thumbnail like this
[2:42] once you click on it you should see some
[2:44] information about your model pop up and
[2:46] you might be able to see a 3d preview of
[2:48] your model as well one thing i also like
[2:51] to note there's a when you're talking
[2:52] looking at tracking quality settings
[2:55] high quality i do recommend there's also
[2:57] the wink support which we're also just
[2:58] going to enable as well and go ahead and
[3:00] get started with your model now after
[3:02] selecting your model you should see that
[3:04] now your webcam should be activated and
[3:06] your model should be able to move side
[3:08] to side and when you speak into your
[3:10] microphone your lips are going to be
[3:13] moving by chance whenever you're moving
[3:14] your avatar around and if you ever get
[3:17] set in a weird way you can always hit
[3:19] the reset button if you ever if you ever
[3:21] want to mirror your motion basically
[3:23] just making it reverse of whatever you
[3:24] do you can hit the mirror motion as well
[3:26] so like here's an example head side to
[3:28] side and then if you ever need help or
[3:29] would like to see the documentation that
[3:31] you saw in the beginning you can always
[3:33] hit this help button right here and you
[3:34] can go through the tutorial all over
[3:36] again and here is some important
[3:38] information in terms of hotkeys when you
[3:40] go to the help section
[3:43] so when it comes down to movement
[3:45] smoothing and movement range i generally
[3:47] like to keep these on the default
[3:49] settings so that's generally what i do
[3:51] but you can
[3:52] adjust the sliders for them a little bit
[3:54] as well now what's actually a brand new
[3:57] feature here is the crop section where
[4:01] you can add props
[4:03] so all you got to do is just add in this
[4:04] case you find a
[4:06] image so i'm just going to grab a
[4:09] logo mask like this
[4:12] and i just choose where i want it to be
[4:14] on my model and just like that it'll
[4:16] automatically attach to one of the bones
[4:19] oh you can even add gifs to your face as
[4:20] well oh that's so cool
[4:22] you can also adjust the individual
[4:24] distance from your avatar using some of
[4:26] the settings right here you can change
[4:28] some of the smoothing you can also make
[4:29] it so that they're always on top or not
[4:31] you can add more than one oh so exciting
[4:34] and that's how you basically add props
[4:36] and here i'm going to just change the
[4:37] distance to my avatar to be like right
[4:39] there
[4:40] just like that and boom we added some
[4:42] props which is super cool this also
[4:44] supports transparent pngs so that means
[4:47] if you go on the internet
[4:50] and you get like glasses
[4:53] transparent
[4:55] and then here's a handy little tip if
[4:57] you go to tools
[4:59] and you go to color you can type
[5:01] transparent and that should help you
[5:03] find better transparent pngs so i'm just
[5:06] gonna like this
[5:08] and save image as save it on my desktop
[5:12] and let's go ahead and add that
[5:14] once you have your if you want to get
[5:15] rid of any of the props all you got to
[5:17] do is just click on the prop and you'll
[5:19] see some options right here so the mouse
[5:21] wheel to change the size while you're
[5:22] holding it just like that and i'm just
[5:25] gonna put these on top of my actual
[5:27] glasses
[5:28] wow and i have glasses i can change the
[5:30] distance from my avatar to be like this
[5:32] so look i have glasses on glasses isn't
[5:36] that cool and then uh i can press x to
[5:39] mirror or
[5:41] modify it vertically just like this
[5:43] with these are glasses that are the same
[5:44] on each side you can't really tell the
[5:46] difference
[5:47] if you middle-click your mouse icon
[5:48] it'll always be on top i'm not sure if i
[5:50] always want to be on top and then if you
[5:52] press the delete button while holding it
[5:54] down it'll also delete the prop for you
[5:56] as well
[5:58] and this is like one of the nicest new
[6:00] features of bc face
[6:02] that you have out there
[6:04] easy way to customize your
[6:06] model now we're gonna go to the settings
[6:08] and we're gonna start with the general
[6:10] settings it's very easy to be
[6:11] overwhelmed with the just sheer amount
[6:14] of stuff that you see
[6:16] in this general settings menu i'm going
[6:19] to tell you most of you do not need to
[6:22] touch
[6:23] most of the things
[6:24] in here i would recommend at one point
[6:26] just taking some time and playing with
[6:28] any of the settings just to see if you
[6:29] can get any more customization that you
[6:31] would like for how your model will be
[6:33] used in vc face and if you're ever
[6:35] worried about doing some irreparable
[6:39] uh changes all you got to do is just do
[6:41] a factory reset and it's just like you
[6:43] start from fresh
[6:44] for the most part the most important
[6:46] settings that you're going to see
[6:48] available is going to be the expression
[6:51] detection that you're going to see here
[6:52] like the simple experimental that you
[6:54] can see right here where we can set up
[6:56] the different uh faces so let's say like
[6:59] angry but i'm just going to leave the
[7:00] expression detection at none here are
[7:02] the graphic settings this is basically
[7:04] like how big the window is going to be
[7:06] like i just changed it to 1080p here's
[7:09] the quality if you're finding that bc
[7:11] face is using too much of your computer
[7:14] resources you can turn some of these
[7:16] things down and what i super also
[7:18] recommend is capping the frame rate as
[7:20] well because sometimes that can get
[7:22] super out of control here is a another
[7:25] new feature called the spout image
[7:28] capture support basically what this
[7:31] allows you to do is allow it allows you
[7:33] to send the vc face information
[7:36] over the network to obs straight to obs
[7:39] this is actually the most handy for
[7:41] vtubers who have a dual pc setup and you
[7:45] have a streaming computer you want to be
[7:46] able to have your vc phase data easily
[7:49] be sent over to your streaming computer
[7:51] without requiring a capture card we're
[7:54] actually going to take a moment to uh
[7:56] set this up so all you got to do is just
[7:58] click the help icon just like this and
[8:01] then uh install the spout obs plugin
[8:04] right here i'm just going to go ahead
[8:06] and click install if you get this
[8:08] notification go ahead and install it
[8:10] it'll be okay you get a virus it's not
[8:12] my fault and uh don't mind uh those
[8:15] extra crypto coins and nfts and just
[8:17] like that we have spout installed so i'm
[8:20] going to go ahead and open obs so now
[8:23] that we have obs open with the new image
[8:26] capture source
[8:28] you're going to click here
[8:31] the plus icon and add a spout capture
[8:34] source
[8:35] uh in vc face we're going to
[8:38] check
[8:38] spout image capture support
[8:43] and then back here you can see that the
[8:45] spout image capture source is already
[8:48] here now that you have the spout image
[8:51] capture in obs uh you can have some
[8:53] settings right here so for example we're
[8:55] going to have it as pre-multiplied alpha
[8:58] just like that
[8:59] and then we have our transparent screen
[9:02] being captured in obs just like this
[9:05] pretty cool and that is the spout image
[9:07] capture super handy awesome addition to
[9:11] vc face lots of use cases for this
[9:14] but if you don't want to use spout and
[9:16] you just want to use it if you have a
[9:17] single pc setup you might not actually
[9:20] need the spout image capture support you
[9:23] can just capture vc face just like i did
[9:24] in this video that you see appearing
[9:26] right here here you'll have the option
[9:28] to modify your webcam and microphone
[9:31] again here is a virtual camera that you
[9:36] can enable and this basically by turning
[9:38] this on what you're gonna see is you're
[9:40] gonna see this option here you can
[9:42] install the virtual camera and then you
[9:44] can also choose a background to load
[9:46] what's gonna happen is that vc phase
[9:47] will now activate like a webcam so
[9:50] you'll be able to use this in like zoom
[9:52] or discord or other things you just
[9:54] gotta make sure that each time you open
[9:57] vc face you just have to click to enable
[9:59] virtual camera for this session now
[10:01] we're just gonna skip down to the bottom
[10:03] just for a quick moment and i'm just
[10:04] going to tell you that there's a lot of
[10:06] check boxes and settings that you see
[10:09] here of all of my time
[10:11] using bc face i pretty much almost never
[10:14] had to change any of these settings so
[10:17] for the most part you don't need to be
[10:19] worrying about these settings let's go
[10:22] back to here for i facial mocap and osc
[10:26] vmc protocol if you're not sure what os
[10:29] vmc protocol is it's basically a motion
[10:32] capture language that can be operated
[10:34] through the network or on the same
[10:37] computer and you can use this to bring
[10:40] in your facial tracking data with wide
[10:43] io or virtual motion capture both of
[10:45] which are videos that i have covered
[10:47] before which you'll be seeing linked
[10:49] right here and in both of those videos i
[10:51] actually cover how to bring in those
[10:53] specific applications in to
[10:57] bc face
[10:58] as well um i also did a separate video
[11:00] dedicated to how to get iphone facial
[11:03] tracking in vc face which uses the vmc
[11:06] protocol for the most part what you're
[11:08] going to be doing is you're going to be
[11:09] checking the osc receiver option that
[11:12] you're seeing right here you're going to
[11:14] be making sure you can select the lan ip
[11:17] so this is my local ip address that you
[11:20] can see right here so you can make sure
[11:22] that you are sending it to the same ip
[11:24] address here is the port number make
[11:27] sure you have this port open if you're
[11:28] using more than one computer and then
[11:31] here you're gonna see a bunch of check
[11:32] boxes so here we're basically relying on
[11:36] the external
[11:38] motion capture being sent in for all the
[11:41] movement in bc face the only thing that
[11:45] is being tracked right now is the
[11:47] expression toggles so like when you
[11:48] press a hotkey it makes something happen
[11:50] like if i press the hotkey for joy it
[11:52] makes me smile
[11:54] like that here you can pick and choose
[11:55] what things that you want to be tracked
[11:57] just keep in mind that if you end up
[11:59] checking everything you actually don't
[12:00] need to have this on because you're not
[12:02] receiving everything anything because vc
[12:04] face is actually overriding it so
[12:06] whatever is not checked is what's going
[12:08] to be received by bc face another thing
[12:11] that you can do is all of the motion
[12:13] capture information that is either
[12:16] coming into vc face or being created by
[12:18] vc face like with the webcam and the
[12:20] shape keys from the mouth right now
[12:23] you can actually send it to other
[12:25] applications you can send it to virtual
[12:27] motion capture you can send it to
[12:28] another thing of easy face or your own
[12:31] vtubing application which some videos
[12:34] should pop up for right here or they'll
[12:35] be linked in the description down below
[12:37] you can also set up a secondary receiver
[12:39] in case you have two different things
[12:42] that you want to receive at the same
[12:43] time so for example
[12:46] in case that you have two separate bmc
[12:49] protocol things that you want to have
[12:50] sent into your avatar at the same time
[12:53] this part here is for i facial motion
[12:56] capture now i facial motion capture
[12:58] information can also be sent out with
[13:01] the send data function that you see here
[13:03] this is basically how you can send it
[13:05] out so you just need the ip address and
[13:07] then the port number if you are using
[13:09] the osc
[13:11] receiver make sure that these two port
[13:13] numbers are different or else you're
[13:15] going to have some conflicting problems
[13:18] so what you could do is just change it
[13:19] to just like change it to be one up
[13:22] just like this four zero and then there
[13:24] there is no more conflict i've
[13:26] personally found that you never really
[13:28] have to change the t pose simulate or
[13:30] disable packet bundling options here
[13:32] with i facial mocap basically this is
[13:35] how you can send in your facial tract
[13:38] information from i facial mocap on your
[13:40] iphone with face id
[13:42] into vc face once you open i facial
[13:45] mocap their tutorial is pretty
[13:47] straightforward it gives you the uh
[13:49] phone's ip address as soon as you enter
[13:51] your phone's ip address and on on your
[13:53] phone you enter your computer's ip
[13:55] address you should be able to link them
[13:56] together and your iphone facial tracking
[13:59] should start working
[14:00] so what's really cool about the ificial
[14:03] mocap system is that you actually don't
[14:06] need to have a webcam at all because you
[14:09] can actually have the head movement data
[14:11] be recorded from your iphone into vc
[14:14] face now personally i prefer using the
[14:18] webcam for the body movement using the
[14:20] iphone only for facial tracking so that
[14:23] was my personal recommended setup for
[14:25] that let's go back to the settings and
[14:27] here you can see some of your expression
[14:29] settings
[14:30] and then here in your expression
[14:32] settings this is basically where you're
[14:34] going to be setting your toggles your
[14:37] hotkeys of different things that you
[14:38] want to do i have this one called the
[14:40] big brain mode so here you click on the
[14:42] hotkey and click on the none if none is
[14:45] assigned if you have one already
[14:46] assigned you can change it but here i'm
[14:48] going to click on the hotkey none and
[14:50] then i'm just going to press let's say
[14:51] the space bar boop just like this and
[14:53] it'll say assign big brain to space bar
[14:55] so when i press the space bar we enter
[14:58] big brain mode just like that
[15:01] so right now it's set to a toggle that
[15:03] means i press it to activate it and i
[15:05] press it to disable it and if i want to
[15:07] change it so that i have to hold the
[15:09] button down
[15:11] then you can go just like this and it
[15:13] only activates when you have it held
[15:15] down so there's two other things that
[15:17] you can add if you want to enable eye
[15:19] blinking as well because sometimes those
[15:21] things will mess up your expression but
[15:23] here is where you're going to find all
[15:24] of the expressions for all of your
[15:26] models and you can set them up to
[15:28] hotkeys
[15:29] personally i would really recommend
[15:31] getting something called a stream deck
[15:33] because what's really cool with a stream
[15:36] deck is you'll be able to actually set
[15:37] some of these keys
[15:38] to the f 13 to 24 binds meaning you can
[15:43] use your stream deck to activate keys
[15:45] that you would normally not be able to
[15:46] activate with a normal keyboard and that
[15:49] also means that it won't enter any of
[15:51] these hotkeys that you use will not
[15:53] interrupt any gameplay or anything else
[15:55] that you may be doing while you are
[15:57] streaming if you would like a video on
[16:00] stream deck tips for v tubers just let
[16:02] me know in the description down below
[16:04] next in the settings you can click on
[16:05] the light option basically this is
[16:07] pretty straightforward you can change
[16:09] the color of the lighting in the world
[16:11] you can also change by holding ctrl you
[16:13] can change the direction of the lighting
[16:15] by moving your mouse
[16:16] and then you can also
[16:19] change the ambient lighting that you
[16:20] have as well if you wanted to do that
[16:24] but i like to leave most of the stuff uh
[16:26] default you can choose on how you want
[16:27] to actually do these things and these
[16:29] are the lighting settings this is really
[16:30] up to you to play with the lighting that
[16:32] you would like to get and the same thing
[16:34] comes for our very next feature which is
[16:37] the effects feature where you can apply
[16:39] a bunch of cool
[16:40] different effects to your model that you
[16:43] might see right here some of these
[16:44] effects that you might have seen some of
[16:46] your other favorite youtubers use as
[16:48] well there are basically all the effects
[16:50] activated at once i don't believe there
[16:52] is a way to hotkey any of these effects
[16:54] these are things i believe you have to
[16:56] activate manually it'd be really cool if
[16:59] you could activate these by hotkeys
[17:00] that'd be super cool but just keep in
[17:02] mind that adding all of these extra
[17:04] effects
[17:05] will
[17:06] uh will contribute to more computer
[17:08] resources being consumed and finally is
[17:11] the leap motion settings this is how you
[17:14] can get hand tracking for your model in
[17:17] bc face
[17:19] without using anything like virtual
[17:21] motion capture protocol so i'll actually
[17:23] have a link
[17:25] for uh elite motion list linked in the
[17:27] description down below and what i
[17:29] actually recommend using as a leap
[17:31] motion mount and what i actually do is
[17:33] on the bottom of the leap motion i put a
[17:35] little bit of velcro and that's how i
[17:36] attach it to the neck ring mounts and
[17:39] i'm going to be linking in the
[17:40] description
[17:41] down below now this is a different
[17:42] computer for me so i actually haven't
[17:44] installed my leap motion yet so that's
[17:48] what we're going to be doing right now
[17:50] we're going to go to the leap motion
[17:51] website i'm going to have the link for
[17:53] this in the description down below and
[17:55] we're going to go ahead and download it
[17:57] the leap motion
[17:59] gemini you might need to make an account
[18:02] and once you're logged in just agree to
[18:03] the re make sure you read the terms of
[18:05] service and go ahead and agree to it
[18:08] accept and you are downloading it and
[18:10] we're gonna go ahead and install it go
[18:13] ahead and click through so once you have
[18:15] it installed your leap motion should be
[18:18] plugged in and once it's plugged in you
[18:20] should see some red lights appearing on
[18:23] your leap motion so we're going to go
[18:25] ahead now and open vc face with our
[18:27] elite motion plugged in select our
[18:29] avatar go ahead and start one thing
[18:31] you're going to do is depending on where
[18:32] you actually mount your leap motion you
[18:34] want to match the position of where it
[18:37] is on your model so you can use the hold
[18:40] down the alt button and click on the
[18:42] screen and move it around so you can
[18:44] help with the orientation of it right
[18:45] here uh personally i have mine mounted
[18:48] on my chest like right here you can zoom
[18:51] out by using the scroll wheel button
[18:53] just to see where it is and you want to
[18:54] put it in the approximate location of
[18:57] where your actual leap motion is located
[18:59] what you will notice is that if your if
[19:01] your elite motion goes into your body
[19:03] like we have it partially going to our
[19:05] body right here you'll actually see
[19:06] that's actually going into your model
[19:08] it's not really something that you would
[19:10] want
[19:11] so i actually have my elite motion about
[19:13] right
[19:14] here and then it's actually uh forward a
[19:17] bit
[19:18] be about right
[19:20] here like this
[19:22] and then it's actually rotated downwards
[19:25] like that
[19:26] and that's basically how you can get the
[19:28] optimal leap motion
[19:30] settings
[19:31] once you have your leap motion set up it
[19:35] should automatically start tracking your
[19:37] hands now what you might be noticing is
[19:39] that my elite motion tracking is
[19:40] actually not that good compared to what
[19:41] you're seeing on my screen
[19:43] uh the leap motion cameras really
[19:46] require to be able to see your bare
[19:49] hands and not be obstructed with any
[19:51] view of wires so if you have a lot of
[19:54] wires or straight lines or cables or
[19:56] anything like that
[19:58] um that can interfere with the
[20:00] motion hand tracking
[20:03] so that's what you're seeing on the
[20:04] screen right now
[20:06] so what i would recommend is you if you
[20:08] are having hand tracking problems to
[20:11] basically just try to get rid of any
[20:13] wires or cables that might be situated
[20:16] around your hands and if you're wearing
[20:17] any gloves to also take those off as
[20:20] well that's basically all you need to
[20:22] know about how to set up bc face if you
[20:25] have any questions you can join our
[20:27] discord community you can leave a
[20:29] comment down below or you can uh check
