VTube Studio

Have you ever seen an animated VTuber laughing over games or chatting it up with fans, and wished you could have a similar character for your own channel? With VTube Studio, you have your chance. This incredibly easy to use program available on Steam will allow you to create your own Live2D VTuber.

The software uses tracking technology that reads your movements and repeats them using a 2D model. This allows you to use a character instead of your real face but have the character act and move the way you would. If you’re new to VTubing, you’ll still need to commission your own model. While VTube Studio does come with some models for testing purposes, it doesn’t allow you to create your own unique model.

User friendly software

While there are over programs out there designed for the same purpose, VTube Studio is one of the easiest to use. Compared to other software such as PrprLive, VTube Studio is much easier to set up and understand. Many artists also prefer VTube Studio when creating models, because of the ease of setting up models within the program. On top of this, the developers are very good at listening to the community and providing updates that benefit everyone. The value of a developer invested in the community can not be underestimated.

Doesn’t require green screen

Another interesting feature of VTube Studio is that it does not require a green screen to function. Many other programs need a green screen to help distinguish you from the background, but VTube Studio works just fine without it. Instead of a green screen, the game allows you to use transparency in game. It takes just a few steps to make it happen, which is an exciting development for those who don’t want to be bogged down with tons of equipment or are just starting out.

May need strong equipment

Some users say that VTube Studio has greater CPU requirements compared to similar programs. While this is possible, many of the people making those comparisons are comparing 2D models to 3D models. If there is a difference compared to other 2D models, the difference is fairly close. Regardless of how much more or less the CPU is, any similar program will require a certain amount of processing power to complete. The more power your computer has, the better your experience will be.

Overall, VTube Studio is a great 2D modeling company for people of all levels of experience. If you’re interested in trying out VTube technology, this is your chance to do so. Have your own custom model created, and then use this studio to laugh, cry, and play games with your fellow players with your own VTube character.
