[00:56] need some form of webcam for your v tuber this is mainly so then you can actually track your body movements and your face movements and stuff like that or else you'll just end up staring creepily at the camera

[01:09] consider liking and subscribing also share it around with your streamer friends so they can learn something new too alrighty let's get this started first things first we're gonna need some v tuber models and like i mentioned

[01:21] before i got you covered hop over my discord great place you'll absolutely love it scroll down to the categories over here until you see design files until you see these four cuties over here these are the four v tuber models

[01:34] you're over here just click this little button over here to download it once the zip is downloaded right click and extract once it's extracted open the folder and you should see a total of eight files two for each of the models

[01:48] one is for you to use in your vtuber software and the other one is so you can edit and make your own edits and modifications to it oh and uh speaking tools that you can use to edit the models that i've given you or make your

[02:01] very own model it's completely free and you can download it on their website or on steam now i'm not going to teach you guys how to use v-roid that's not what powerful tool that's relatively easy to use and completely free so you can edit

[02:14] the models or even make your own then v-roid studio is one that i think you guys will genuinely enjoy using alright so we got the models we got the software to edit the models if we want to do that what's next well now we need a software

[02:26] called vc face vc phase is a completely free super customizable eye face head body limb tracking software that you can import your vtuber model into and then

[02:38] easily add that into obs link to bc face is going to be in the description of this video so head over to the website download vc face extract it and then settings after you extract it run the exe and the first time you boot up the

[02:52] basic instructions on what you should do and how to add it to obs you can follow we'll be going through them again later in the video the next few pages are just basic tutorials basically teaching you how to move your model around hiding

[03:06] your ui resetting your model's position and other stuff once the tutorial is to be greeted by first thing that we should do is on the top right is select our camera and our microphone the reason we need to select it is so we can track

[03:18] mouth movement as you can see i'm moving his mouth as well once you select your camera you'll be prompted to the camera settings and the fps i'd recommend going at 1080 but if

[03:31] you can't run 1080 try 720 if you don't have the computing power with the fps i think 24 is a good number to have awesome now let's add our avatar click the big plus and let's find the avatar that we downloaded choose one of the

[03:45] models we downloaded and hit open once you've added the model just select it model open and sorted you can see that when you speak your mouth will start moving and if you have your camera looking at you it'll track your basic

[03:58] movements like eye movement body movement blinking stuff like that you clicking the settings and light settings effect settings can also give you a little more options as well you can add more tracking features for your facial

[04:11] expressions such as happy angry joy sorrow and more by going into your general settings and change the expression detecting to either simple or experimental if you choose experimental you're going to have to calibrate each

[04:26] with the software but that all tends to be personal preference now that we're done with this let's head over to obs so we can add it there so if that vc face gave you on the last part you should already have this done but if

[04:40] you waited to do it with me well let's get this party going so first of all open up your obs and let's make a brand new scene i'm gonna call it v tuber let's add a brand new source and we're gonna go to game capture let's call this

[04:55] v-tuber capture on the property window let's change the might over here to capture a specific window the window that we're going to select is going to be our vc face then scroll down a little bit and tick the box that says allow

[05:09] bit and tick the box that says allow transparency and also untick capture cursor and then click ok now you can resize your v tuber to any size that you menus that you see around the frame simply open your v vtuber software click

[05:24] this little box down over here on the bottom right and then hit space to hide the little box as well and there you go no more menus now if you want to add your v tuber to your other scenes you simply have to go to the scene that you

[05:36] wanted on on that scene look for sources click the plus and sources head over to scene and then add your v tuber scene and there you go now just resize it to whatever size you want awesome keep in mind you will have to turn your vc face

[05:51] on every time you want to stream with your v tuber it's not automatic just thought i'd point this out for those who are very very brand new into the v-tubing you can minimize your vc face after you open it you just have to have

[06:04] it running in the background well there we go my friends super simple and easy streams it's so simple and easy to do but i hope that my video was able to easier one i actually have another tutorial in the works teaching you guys
