Introduction to MOZ3 Anime Studio

The video introduces MOZ3 Anime Studio, a PNGtuber app that offers different options than typical software. The presenter links to a GitHub repository for download.

[00:29]
Initial Setup and Silent Pose

Upon opening the app, the avatar is in a silent pose. The presenter navigates to settings to enable voice reactivity, and the avatar begins to react to speech.

[00:58]
Automatic Expression Switching

The app automatically switches between multiple drawings based on the user's tone or pitch, adding variety and matching the conversation's mood. This is a unique feature not seen elsewhere.

[01:34]
Silent Pose and Side Panel

Users can set up a silent pose that activates when they stop speaking. The side panel allows the avatar to be placed as a transparent overlay on the desktop, which can be clicked to bring back.

[02:08]
Adjusting Sensitivity and Idle Behavior

The presenter adjusts the sensitivity to control how much the avatar captures movement. When idle, the avatar becomes immobile, making the reaction more noticeable.

[02:52]
Uploading Custom Characters

To use a custom character, users need to upload images for the mouth (closed, slightly open, wide open) and eyes (open, half open). The app creates smooth animations by switching between these.

[04:04]
Movement and Background Options

The avatar can rotate and grow when speaking, similar to other apps but smoother. Users can also upload background music and audio files, and there is a manual save option.

[05:02]
Manipulating the Avatar

The avatar can be moved, rotated, and repositioned on the desktop. There is a reset button to undo changes.

[05:19]
Settings: Smooth Expressions and Pitch Sensor

The settings include a smooth facial expressions option that adds a dampening effect to transitions, and a pitch sensor that automatically switches between images based on voice pitch.

[06:16]
Setting Up Silent Pose in Japanese

To enable the silent pose, users must create a new expression and name it 'silent' in Japanese. The presenter demonstrates this and adjusts the activation time.

[07:00]
Hold Expression and OBS Integration

The hold expression forces the avatar to keep one expression, preventing jitter. The presenter then shows how to add the app as a window capture in OBS Studio.

[08:00]
Final Tips and Resources

The presenter advises keeping the app tab open for it to stay active, and mentions linking the artist's video and GitHub in the description for further resources.

[00:00] it seems to offer different options than what you would find on a software So let's check it out. And they made this video showcasing it.

[00:16] if you want to watch it. There's a link in the description which sends us to a GitHub. Until you find the x file, click on it to download.

[00:29] When you open it for the first time, you'll see that And the settings are top right. And now we can see that it's switched to the silent pose.

[00:44] And we can fix that by going to the settings over there. And now we can see it's reacting. And have a look at how it actually reacts.

[00:58] There's multiple drawings that's actually because it's actually switching You can see that the pictures are changing here. There is some sort of detection of your tone I guess, or

[01:15] in order to add variety, but also kind of like match what's going on, that is one of the original features that I haven't seen anywhere else which means that in each of those you can actually upload multiple images

[01:34] can also set up a silent pose if you stop speaking for a little bit. And of course, you can set, you know, let's check out the side panel.

[01:50] And it basically places European YouTuber as a transparent thing just on your desktop, can hover over it and then click here to bring it back. So lower it means it will capture you less blah blah blah blah blah.

[02:08] So it will capture you more. going on throughout the whole thing. Okay, I pretty much turned off my mic

[02:22] You can adjust that. So right now it's pretty much idle. So now it's completely immobile. So it's more noticeable now.

[02:37] And then you have the breathing speed. And now you can really see that bounce. because of that automatic switching thing.

[02:52] So, let's try to upload something to, to demonstrate in order to put your own. This is where you set up like a different profile altogether. And basically what you need is your character with just the mouth.

[03:07] And then the eyes are going to be put up separately. I'm dragging and dropping straight from my desktop Then there's mouth slightly open.

[03:22] Okay. Bow, bow. It's creating like such a smoother animation. I love it. And finally, if you're being super loud, we have mouth wide, wide open.

[03:37] You don't have to use all of them. For the eyes we have open eyes. Right here we have eyes half open over there.

[03:50] So you can see that the blinking is happening automatically. I this is so cool, It looks like a full on animation. we can establish what it does when it moves.

[04:04] So it you know, rotates a little bit when you talk. So it actually grows when you speak. Kind of like what we have in zero two but maybe a little smoother.

[04:19] So it literally like shakes vibrates if you will, when you talk. So if you want the background You're also able to play some background music

[04:35] So right here you can upload your audio file. And finally here you have manual save knowing that everything is saved automatically.

[04:47] I'm not completely sure but I think it resets your settings. Reset the entire app. If I double click you can see my mouse.

[05:02] And now I can kind of place it around, move it around, even rotate it. If I mess up, what I can do is go find this button All right, for more options, let's open up the settings tab.

[05:19] The second option we have here is smooth facial expressions. Dampening effect on like the switching. You know, how many milliseconds it'll take to basically go from one to another.

[05:34] And it gives you the impression that the whole thing is kind of smoother. it's easing into the animation a little bit better. Here we have the pitch sensor that I told you about.

[05:47] illustrations, is by clicking or right there. And then like the different images I guess or right there.

[05:59] It would automatically detect your pitch and actually switch in between those. Versus your normal one. very, you know, very expressive YouTuber going on.

[06:16] So you can set up. I believe in order to get this working, you actually have to create a new one and then double click on the name and type the word silent in Japanese.

[06:31] And I'll bring this down to one second. Okay. Now I believe I wrote it right. So if I talk into the microphone for a little bit, it should switch on its own.

[06:46] I just turned down the sensitivity so it doesn't hear me anymore. All you have to do is name the tab silence. so you can just copy paste it. That's pretty cool.

[07:00] I'll probably adjust it so that it activates, a little bit longer. This is basically a hold expression. This basically forces it to keep at least one expression

[07:15] It avoids it like completely jittering or just flickering. What it's going to do is basically hide everything. So once your setup is over and you're ready to put it in OBS studio

[07:30] And as you can see, it's right there. But bear with me because I'm using OBS to record OBS right now. Right there.

[07:44] Then under window I'll pick the anime studio. you can keep the capture method in automatic or set it to Windows 10. you usually want, so it will turn that off and click okay.

[08:00] Now I'm going to go ahead and go back here to see what it does But I'm going to turn that up because I wanted to actually work. When you're ready to capture just plop

[08:15] and then go back to OBS as if nothing happened. I'm going to scale it up and you can place it wherever you want. One thing to keep in mind is that you kind of want the tab to be open somewhere.

[08:28] So make sure you keep it open Okay. That way it stays active technically. Okay. Hopefully I can spend some time to create more of those to get more expressions.

[08:43] If you have an artist that makes your YouTubers, There's work to be done. I will link their video in the description.

[08:56] I'll link the GitHub and then I'll put that little Japanese words for silence.
