[00:06] Welcome to the Emochi 2D crash course.
[00:08] If you cannot use Live2D or you heard
[00:10] whispers about an alternative out there
[00:12] and want to learn more, then this course
[00:14] is for you.
[00:15] The focus of this course will be on how
[00:16] to use the program rather than how to
[00:18] make a model from start to finish.
[00:21] The goal is to create an understanding
[00:23] of the basics, which will then allow you
[00:24] to follow along with your favorite
[00:26] Live2D tutorials and make your Vtubing
[00:28] dreams come true.
[00:30] So, what exactly is Emochi 2D?
[00:34] Well, it's open-source software that
[00:36] consists of two programs.
[00:39] First is Emochi Creator, which allows
[00:41] you to not only rig your model,
[00:43] but also to create animations.
[00:46] Second is Emochi Session, which allows
[00:49] you to use tracking software to bring
[00:50] your model to life and jump straight
[00:52] into Vtubing.
[00:56] You can download both programs either
[00:58] through the official website or through
[00:59] itch.io.
[01:01] For Emochi Creator, you have two
[01:03] options. You can get the evaluation
[01:05] version, which is free with no time
[01:07] limit, or the paid version, which is
[01:09] currently set to a one-time fee of $40.
[01:12] The only difference between the two is
[01:15] the evaluation version has a 10-second
[01:17] screen on startup encouraging you to
[01:19] support the project. No other
[01:21] limitations, no restrictions.
[01:25] Emochi Session, on the other hand, is
[01:27] completely free.
[01:29] For this course, I'll be using the free
[01:31] evaluation version of Emochi Creator.
[01:35] Now, while all of this sounds like a
[01:37] dream come true, there are two things I
[01:40] need you to know before moving forward.
[01:42] First and foremost, Emochi 2D is a work
[01:45] in progress, but is functional for
[01:47] Vtubing. Second, Emochi 2D is not
[01:50] compatible with Live2D as they use
[01:52] different file formats.
[01:56] Okay, let's end it here.
[01:58] Please download the programs and I will
[02:00] see you in the next video.
