How to Make a Vtuber Model — Step-by-Step Guide & Transcript

[00:03] about how to become a [music] 2D girl. Well, what about me? I want to too. What is Vitubin anyway? Vitubing is a format [music] of online content creation in which content makers use a digital avatar instead of their real

[00:16] appearance to interact [music] with an audience. Such virtual characters can be either 2D drawings, for example, in anime style, or volumetric From what I've seen online, YouTubers can do

[00:29] absolutely anything: play, draw, sing, conduct [music] crazy experiments, or just do all sorts of crap. The main joke is in the model. [music] There are several ways to get

[00:41] the model. The first and easiest option is to order. [music] The Internet is full of artists who can draw and animate a character for you. [music] Well, that's going to cost a pretty penny. The second option is to create a model yourself.

[00:53] This is where the difficulties begin, because it is desirable to have hands growing from the right place. [music] But it's okay , we'll learn everything. I already have experience creating Vtup models, and I have a couple in my collection, [music]

[01:05] but my first avatar, due to my inexperience at the time of its creation, looks crude. How do I generally approach creating a model? It all starts [music] with a concept. Here everything depends on your imagination. You can make any

[01:17] design you want. The main thing is that you can draw it and record it. Once the concept is ready, you can start drawing [music] the model. The main thing at this stage is to draw each element separately so that you can rotate it as you

[01:29] please. In general, as I understand it, [music] is valued among riggers when absolutely every hair, eyelash, tooth is detached. But I'm lazy and often cheat. I usually get lost when I'm drawing an avatar, because [music] even at the

[01:42] concept stage I go online in search of references, and I stumble upon [music] cool features in other people's models. Well, my hands are itching to add something models differs in style [music] from the previous one.

[02:02] eyes hurt and your computer explodes from the weight of the file , you need to move on to ricking. [music] what I do, because there is a lot of educational material [music] in Russian. During the creation process I always come up with

[02:17] some jokes. For example, at some point I bought myself a Vibridger. This is a plugin [music] for better tracking of the face and in particular the mouth. And method [of music] trigger wasn’t going to work, and I had to redo everything. So

[02:30] I wasted a whole day preparing the model for the vibridger using the hourly guide . It's a shame, but it [the music] was worth it. After I've got the head and body movement down, I move on to the physics, [music] and then to the extra

[02:43] emotions, some of which I animated inside Life 2D. In the process of Riga, a huge bunch of parameters, [music] deformers, rotations are created. It's easy to get confused and lost in this, but somehow I always manage to figure out what's going on

[02:55] generate a texture map, export the model with all movements, [music] physics and emotions to the YouTube Studio folder. And all that remains is inside the program. connect

[03:08] were created for Vibriger, set up [music] emotions for hot keys and that's it . Connect YouTube Studio from iPhone or iPad to Vibridger, and Vibridger to YouTube Studio on PC. And the model is ready for streaming or [music] video creation.
