【VTubeStudio】Webcam Tracking just got an UPGRADE! VBridger Update

[00:00] earlier this year I released a video

[00:01] about the different tracking types for

[00:03] 2D vtubers and we have a big update to

[00:06] go over here I mentioned a plugin called

[00:08] V Bridger which was currently the best

[00:10] tracking type but they recently added

[00:12] webcam support we're going to test the

[00:14] webcam support and see how it holds up

[00:16] so I'm currently using my iPhone for the

[00:19] tracking here and you can see my V

[00:20] Bridger window on the top left here I

[00:23] mentioned in my previous video that this

[00:25] is the current best tracking that we can

[00:27] get using iPhone and V Bridger gives you

[00:29] very smooth tracking very accurate

[00:31] tracking and also allows you to use the

[00:34] extra key forms on areas such as your

[00:36] mouth so we can do things like this

[00:38] which you ordinarily can't do with the

[00:40] other tracking types let's go ahead and

[00:42] look at our webcam options now so to get

[00:45] to the webcam options in V Bridger we

[00:47] need to go to this drop- down menu and

[00:49] our two webcam options are at the very

[00:51] bottom here it's Nvidia tracking and

[00:54] media pipe and video tracking requires

[00:56] you to have an RTX video card so if you

[00:59] don't have one of those media pipe is

[01:01] the option for you we're going to start

[01:03] off by looking at Nvidia tracking so

[01:05] here is the Nvidia tracker and this is

[01:08] currently using my webcam an important

[01:10] thing to note if you're planning to use

[01:12] the RTX tracking you need to have

[01:14] downloaded the vtu studio Nvidia

[01:16] broadcast tracker which is free on the

[01:19] steam store if a Tracker isn't working

[01:22] for you you may need to go into V

[01:24] Bridger settings and locate your vtube

[01:26] studio so out of the box the tracking is

[01:29] already a lot better than v b tracking

[01:32] through vtube Studio I'll put up a

[01:34] comparison on the screen real fast right

[01:38] now you may notice that your movements

[01:40] may be a little bit more jittery a good

[01:43] way to fix this is by going into V

[01:45] Bridger itself you can see the parameter

[01:47] list on the top right here simply go

[01:50] through these select them and you can

[01:52] turn up the smoothing which will remove

[01:54] some of the Jetta using webcam tracking

[01:56] through V Bridger you may be required to

[01:58] turn up the smoothing on quite a few of

[02:00] these parameters one of the biggest

[02:02] advantages with using V Bridger with the

[02:05] Nvidia tracking is that we can still use

[02:07] a lot of our extra parameters for

[02:09] example we have a lot of extra

[02:11] parameters set up in our mouth such as

[02:13] shrugging and puckering and good news

[02:15] for my glasses users out there I'm

[02:17] currently wearing my glasses right now

[02:20] and as you can see there's not really

[02:22] any difference between when I wasn't

[02:24] wearing my glasses and when I'm

[02:26] currently using my glasses it's kind of

[02:28] wild to see webcam tracking with

[02:30] completely lossless quality for glasses

[02:32] users next up let's take a little look

[02:34] at media pipe you don't need to download

[02:36] anything extra to use media pipe through

[02:38] V Bridger so this should just work

[02:40] Straight Out of the Box uh one thing I'm

[02:43] noticing right off the bat is that my

[02:45] eyes are behaving a little bit funky and

[02:47] my eyebrows as well if you are planning

[02:49] to use media pipe and these things

[02:51] bother you you can link your eyebrows

[02:54] and your eye movements together so that

[02:56] they're not looking a little bit

[02:58] lopsided all the time another another

[03:00] big thing I do notice as well is that my

[03:03] mouth tracking is not as good as the

[03:05] other two there is a easy fix for this

[03:08] however which I'll go over in just a

[03:10] moment and much like with vrtx tracking

[03:12] you are going to have to turn up the

[03:14] smoothness on the parameters here

[03:17] however much like the RTX tracking the

[03:19] big Advantage we do have here is that we

[03:22] can use our extra parameters again so we

[03:24] can do all the fancy things with our

[03:25] mouth one thing I do notice with the

[03:27] media pipe is that it doesn't track the

[03:30] shrugging very well and it doesn't track

[03:32] the jaw very well however in comparison

[03:35] with the base vtube Studio media pipe

[03:37] tracking this is quite a bit of an

[03:40] upgrade so now I'm going to test it with

[03:42] my glasses on and I'm already kind of

[03:45] noticing that it's struggling with my

[03:47] eye blanks you may be able to get around

[03:50] this by tweaking the parameters but your

[03:54] eyes are always going to look a little

[03:55] bit funky so another update that V

[03:58] Bridger added that will help with the

[03:59] lip sync especially on your media pipe

[04:02] tracking here is that it now allows you

[04:04] to use your microphone for mouth inputs

[04:07] to access this we need to press load and

[04:10] you're going to need to load the file

[04:11] which says V Bridger VSM AR kit so now

[04:15] when I talk my mouth forms are going to

[04:17] be overwritten by the microphone you may

[04:20] need to tweak this in your parameter

[04:21] settings cuz as you can see my mouth is

[04:23] opening up way too wide so I turned down

[04:26] my mouth sensitivities and as you can

[04:28] see now it's a little bit more realistic

[04:31] another thing to note with this mouth

[04:32] tracking is that you're going to need to

[04:34] turn down your audio delay otherwise

[04:36] your mouth is going to be very off sync

[04:38] of your audio the recommended amount for

[04:41] this mouth tracking is actually minus

[04:43] 500 milliseconds however I recommend

[04:45] going in and actually trying it out and

[04:48] see what works for you specifically the

[04:50] main disadvantage to using this is that

[04:53] we can't really emote very well when

[04:55] we're talking since our mouth face

[04:57] tracking is being overwritten but by our

[05:00] microphone it won't track your smiling

[05:02] or frowning whilst you're

[05:04] talking so here are my overall Thoughts

[05:07] with this new update V Bridger is now

[05:09] the best form of tracking that we can

[05:11] get for both webcam and iPhone please do

[05:14] note that there are some downsides to

[05:16] using it for one it costs a little bit

[05:18] extra than just using the vtube studio

[05:21] base it will be an extra window to run

[05:23] whilst you're using your tracking which

[05:26] might make things a little bit more

[05:27] Messier on your PC or may slow things

[05:30] down on lower end PCS plus one of the

[05:33] main benefits of V Bridger being the

[05:35] extra parameters means a little bit more

[05:37] work on your end or your rigger's end to

[05:40] get all of those extra parameters set up

[05:42] my co-i memberships are now open it's a

[05:45] lot like patreon where you can choose to

[05:47] support me monthly such as being

[05:49] featured in the video credits as well as
