[00:00] hey we're gonna be talking about one of

[00:01] the best b-tubing applications that you

[00:03] can get right now

[00:04] [Music]

[00:09] hey if you're interested in v-tubing or

[00:11] virtual production or just

[00:13] what i do in general drop a like and

[00:15] subscribe because once i hit 50 000

[00:17] subscribers i'll do a tour of my entire

[00:20] setup this is vc face you can download

[00:22] it from their website link in the

[00:24] description down below what's really

[00:26] really great about vc face is that it's

[00:28] basically open source it's made by a

[00:31] really small dedicated team em you're

[00:34] amazing please keep doing what you're

[00:36] doing and if you wanna know more about

[00:37] the application there's a lot of

[00:39] information on this website also there's

[00:41] a list of tutorials and everything that

[00:43] you can find anything you need to know

[00:45] will be listed here as well what we are

[00:49] going to be doing is uh we're going to

[00:50] be downloading the latest version so i'm

[00:53] going to go ahead and click and download

[00:55] and once it's finished downloading you

[00:57] can go ahead and

[00:59] open up the zip file that you see here i

[01:02] recommend just extracting it straight to

[01:04] your c drive just like i am doing right

[01:06] now if you already have bc face

[01:09] installed you might get this prompt uh

[01:11] i'm just going to go ahead and say

[01:13] replace all the files and the

[01:14] destination is just basically just going

[01:15] to update with all of the new files and

[01:18] then there you go you have vc face

[01:20] installed so now open the vc face folder

[01:23] and go ahead and double click bc face

[01:26] but the very first time you open vc face

[01:28] you're going to have a step-by-step

[01:30] tutorial on basically how to get it

[01:32] working just like here you can just

[01:33] click through i would take some time to

[01:35] review this stuff but basically it's

[01:37] saying how you can capture it in obs and

[01:40] do some basic things

[01:42] so now you should be at a screen like

[01:44] this what you'll notice is here on the

[01:46] screen you're gonna have a couple of

[01:47] things one is gonna be the website your

[01:49] current version whenever vc face needs

[01:52] an update you're actually going to see

[01:53] text right here in green telling you hey

[01:55] there is an update available for you

[01:58] uh and if you don't have a avatar

[02:00] already loaded into here

[02:02] you can use the default avatar that it

[02:05] comes with

[02:06] so what you should do first is find your

[02:09] webcam and choose your camera quality i

[02:13] recommend choosing the highest

[02:15] resolution and the highest frame rate

[02:16] that you have available to you and then

[02:19] here you can also choose your microphone

[02:22] so i'm going to choose these right here

[02:23] you can also click recommended settings

[02:25] i personally like to set these things

[02:27] manually and you can go ahead and start

[02:29] from here if you have your own model

[02:32] that you might have gotten from booth or

[02:34] some other places or you made your own

[02:35] inveroid you can go ahead and click add

[02:38] and add in your avatar and you're gonna

[02:40] see it appear with a thumbnail like this

[02:42] once you click on it you should see some

[02:44] information about your model pop up and

[02:46] you might be able to see a 3d preview of

[02:48] your model as well one thing i also like

[02:51] to note there's a when you're talking

[02:52] looking at tracking quality settings

[02:55] high quality i do recommend there's also

[02:57] the wink support which we're also just

[02:58] going to enable as well and go ahead and

[03:00] get started with your model now after

[03:02] selecting your model you should see that

[03:04] now your webcam should be activated and

[03:06] your model should be able to move side

[03:08] to side and when you speak into your

[03:10] microphone your lips are going to be

[03:13] moving by chance whenever you're moving

[03:14] your avatar around and if you ever get

[03:17] set in a weird way you can always hit

[03:19] the reset button if you ever if you ever

[03:21] want to mirror your motion basically

[03:23] just making it reverse of whatever you

[03:24] do you can hit the mirror motion as well

[03:26] so like here's an example head side to

[03:28] side and then if you ever need help or

[03:29] would like to see the documentation that

[03:31] you saw in the beginning you can always

[03:33] hit this help button right here and you

[03:34] can go through the tutorial all over

[03:36] again and here is some important

[03:38] information in terms of hotkeys when you

[03:40] go to the help section

[03:43] so when it comes down to movement

[03:45] smoothing and movement range i generally

[03:47] like to keep these on the default

[03:49] settings so that's generally what i do

[03:51] but you can

[03:52] adjust the sliders for them a little bit

[03:54] as well now what's actually a brand new

[03:57] feature here is the crop section where

[04:01] you can add props

[04:03] so all you got to do is just add in this

[04:04] case you find a

[04:06] image so i'm just going to grab a

[04:09] logo mask like this

[04:12] and i just choose where i want it to be

[04:14] on my model and just like that it'll

[04:16] automatically attach to one of the bones

[04:19] oh you can even add gifs to your face as

[04:20] well oh that's so cool

[04:22] you can also adjust the individual

[04:24] distance from your avatar using some of

[04:26] the settings right here you can change

[04:28] some of the smoothing you can also make

[04:29] it so that they're always on top or not

[04:31] you can add more than one oh so exciting

[04:34] and that's how you basically add props

[04:36] and here i'm going to just change the

[04:37] distance to my avatar to be like right

[04:39] there

[04:40] just like that and boom we added some

[04:42] props which is super cool this also

[04:44] supports transparent pngs so that means

[04:47] if you go on the internet

[04:50] and you get like glasses

[04:53] transparent

[04:55] and then here's a handy little tip if

[04:57] you go to tools

[04:59] and you go to color you can type

[05:01] transparent and that should help you

[05:03] find better transparent pngs so i'm just

[05:06] gonna like this

[05:08] and save image as save it on my desktop

[05:12] and let's go ahead and add that

[05:14] once you have your if you want to get

[05:15] rid of any of the props all you got to

[05:17] do is just click on the prop and you'll

[05:19] see some options right here so the mouse

[05:21] wheel to change the size while you're

[05:22] holding it just like that and i'm just

[05:25] gonna put these on top of my actual

[05:27] glasses

[05:28] wow and i have glasses i can change the

[05:30] distance from my avatar to be like this

[05:32] so look i have glasses on glasses isn't

[05:36] that cool and then uh i can press x to

[05:39] mirror or

[05:41] modify it vertically just like this

[05:43] with these are glasses that are the same

[05:44] on each side you can't really tell the

[05:46] difference

[05:47] if you middle-click your mouse icon

[05:48] it'll always be on top i'm not sure if i

[05:50] always want to be on top and then if you

[05:52] press the delete button while holding it

[05:54] down it'll also delete the prop for you

[05:56] as well

[05:58] and this is like one of the nicest new

[06:00] features of bc face

[06:02] that you have out there

[06:04] easy way to customize your

[06:06] model now we're gonna go to the settings

[06:08] and we're gonna start with the general

[06:10] settings it's very easy to be

[06:11] overwhelmed with the just sheer amount

[06:14] of stuff that you see

[06:16] in this general settings menu i'm going

[06:19] to tell you most of you do not need to

[06:22] touch

[06:23] most of the things

[06:24] in here i would recommend at one point

[06:26] just taking some time and playing with

[06:28] any of the settings just to see if you

[06:29] can get any more customization that you

[06:31] would like for how your model will be

[06:33] used in vc face and if you're ever

[06:35] worried about doing some irreparable

[06:39] uh changes all you got to do is just do

[06:41] a factory reset and it's just like you

[06:43] start from fresh

[06:44] for the most part the most important

[06:46] settings that you're going to see

[06:48] available is going to be the expression

[06:51] detection that you're going to see here

[06:52] like the simple experimental that you

[06:54] can see right here where we can set up

[06:56] the different uh faces so let's say like

[06:59] angry but i'm just going to leave the

[07:00] expression detection at none here are

[07:02] the graphic settings this is basically

[07:04] like how big the window is going to be

[07:06] like i just changed it to 1080p here's

[07:09] the quality if you're finding that bc

[07:11] face is using too much of your computer

[07:14] resources you can turn some of these

[07:16] things down and what i super also

[07:18] recommend is capping the frame rate as

[07:20] well because sometimes that can get

[07:22] super out of control here is a another

[07:25] new feature called the spout image

[07:28] capture support basically what this

[07:31] allows you to do is allow it allows you

[07:33] to send the vc face information

[07:36] over the network to obs straight to obs

[07:39] this is actually the most handy for

[07:41] vtubers who have a dual pc setup and you

[07:45] have a streaming computer you want to be

[07:46] able to have your vc phase data easily

[07:49] be sent over to your streaming computer

[07:51] without requiring a capture card we're

[07:54] actually going to take a moment to uh

[07:56] set this up so all you got to do is just

[07:58] click the help icon just like this and

[08:01] then uh install the spout obs plugin

[08:04] right here i'm just going to go ahead

[08:06] and click install if you get this

[08:08] notification go ahead and install it

[08:10] it'll be okay you get a virus it's not

[08:12] my fault and uh don't mind uh those

[08:15] extra crypto coins and nfts and just

[08:17] like that we have spout installed so i'm

[08:20] going to go ahead and open obs so now

[08:23] that we have obs open with the new image

[08:26] capture source

[08:28] you're going to click here

[08:31] the plus icon and add a spout capture

[08:34] source

[08:35] uh in vc face we're going to

[08:38] check

[08:38] spout image capture support

[08:43] and then back here you can see that the

[08:45] spout image capture source is already

[08:48] here now that you have the spout image

[08:51] capture in obs uh you can have some

[08:53] settings right here so for example we're

[08:55] going to have it as pre-multiplied alpha

[08:58] just like that

[08:59] and then we have our transparent screen

[09:02] being captured in obs just like this

[09:05] pretty cool and that is the spout image

[09:07] capture super handy awesome addition to

[09:11] vc face lots of use cases for this

[09:14] but if you don't want to use spout and

[09:16] you just want to use it if you have a

[09:17] single pc setup you might not actually

[09:20] need the spout image capture support you

[09:23] can just capture vc face just like i did

[09:24] in this video that you see appearing

[09:26] right here here you'll have the option

[09:28] to modify your webcam and microphone

[09:31] again here is a virtual camera that you

[09:36] can enable and this basically by turning

[09:38] this on what you're gonna see is you're

[09:40] gonna see this option here you can

[09:42] install the virtual camera and then you

[09:44] can also choose a background to load

[09:46] what's gonna happen is that vc phase

[09:47] will now activate like a webcam so

[09:50] you'll be able to use this in like zoom

[09:52] or discord or other things you just

[09:54] gotta make sure that each time you open

[09:57] vc face you just have to click to enable

[09:59] 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
