questions about getting started as a disabled vtuber/streamer

i want to get started as someone who is disabled with $0 money whatsoever. and all the guides i see say to use iphone or webcams, no android

i have an android phone (brand new S26) and a webcam, a used Logitech C920 HD Pro. would either of these be okay for tracking?

it's important to note that i am largely stuck in my bed due to my disability, so i will be using one or the other (i can set up the webcam to zoom from a distance or use a cord to be up close) as well, and will be using free tools until if/when i can ever get a proper avatar

i cannot afford to get any equipment ahead of time as i do not make any money and can no longer work

thank you ❤️

Tts finding help?

https://vm.tiktok.com/ZN8LJCbvh/

https://vm.tiktok.com/ZN8LJm7uL/

I need a tts as I am not good enough yet in English pronunciation, and I find these to sound good enough and not too annoying or robotic. Also, I feel like to get the character voices, there must be a quite high costumization.

I remember once I saw a tutorial on how to do that giggle thing in the first tiktok, and so I am almost sure this is a program

Any help appreciated! Either way, if you know any other tts that has high voice costumization you're welcome to write it down!

How do I set the hoodie arm to be attached to the arm?

I managed to attach all the outfit and other accessories to the head and chest armature.
But the hoodie arm and hand glove, I have no idea how do I attach them to the model's arm.

I'm thinking VRM Spring Bone, but I'm not sure if that would help.

Vbriger tracking issue

Been getting this issue when I duck out of camera and all the advice I could find just said to turn on go back to default in the settings but it isn't working. This didnt happen when I wasn't using vbriger so I think it's a vbriger issue but idk what to do. Has anyone else had this problem?

Can anyone recommend me a free real timevoice changer that isn't voicemod?

So, I a, a pre-post Vtuber, my irl voice sucks and I have 2 models with 2 distinct voices (one more childish one more mature) so I need a good free voice changer. I tried voicemod but most of the voices there are locked under paywalls, so I really need someone to recommend me a good, free, real time voice changer that has at least one good voice that is what I'm looking for and isn't locked behind a paywall.

Decent set up to start Vtubing for a stickler in 2026?

Budget is $3000 USD.

I'm trying to figure out a good set up that doesn't use Windows as the operating system, plus want to avoid paying for subscriptions with Nvidia. Want to go for Linux. I just am wanting to remain anominous and not having to deal with the forced updates of Windows plus be free of their bloatware. I know this is VERY fussy for me, but I saved up for several years for my budget.

This budget is for EVERYTHING, including the PC. So I'll want to know what else to get for a webcam and microphone.

I'm aiming to be Reaction Vtuber first, then eventually go into gaming and card games.

I'll answer any questions asked if meeded.

is this a scam or are they being genuine?

hey! i'm new to this community and i'm not sure if this is the sub to ask but i recently had a model drawn for me and i've been working on my social media profiles while i wait for my mic and capture card to come in. today i set up my twitter account and i got 4 dms back to back from vtuber model creators asking me how my vtubing journey is going and if i have my banners, overlays, etc. set up. since i'm new i don't know if this is common in the community or if it's a scam thing, any input is appreciated!

(i only attatched two of the screenshots because i didn't respond to the other ones lol)

New hardware going to be needed

Going to keep this short;

A wire in my headset is no longer connecting right. I tried to fix it but may have made it worse.

Currently using the TurtleBeach Stealth 600P MAX 2G.

I am using it for both sound and my microphone.

Suggestions on a new pair?

Doesn't have to be wireless, but does help.

Importing None Human Characters

I've been debating doing vtubing for a long while now, and finally decided to take the plunge and make my own avatar using blender (ambitious, I know)

I decided to go with a cute slime (like a video game, little blob slime) that should be easy to make, but also easy to make lots of animations and expressions for.

Thing is, after I'm finally done, making the thing, different eyes, add on accessories, bones and even made a little mini melting animation using shape keys, I try to put it in Warundo...only for it to not be able to load.

I got the vrm add on so i can turn it into a thing it'll actually understand, only for it to demand a bunch of extra bones for things like hips, fingers, feet, etc

My slime has 7 bones, and 4 of them are for its tini tiny arms and eyes.

Is there any way for me to actually import it as my vtuber avatar? I found this thing called allow non-humanoid rig, but i got this huge window with an error message I really don't understand (I'm not really a blender expert, I had to google how to do a lot of things for this) and nothing else happened.

Is there anything i can do, or do i need to scrap the whole thing and start from 0 with a humanoid model?

Been teaching myself how to 3D model! Goal is to mod myself into games and for use in thumbnails.

Been slowly teaching myself how to 3D model my VTuber self in a low-poly format. It may not be the best, but I love it.

I had experience porting to gmod before, so I was easily able to get it working in there as well :p

Advice for my model design? Please? :3

I wanna go into VTubing but need some feedback on my character design notes before I get to drawing and iterating and slicing for the rigging and so on. I already have an idea of what I am going for, leaning into the video game style, cute but slightly unsettling, and kinda like a digital being coming to life, leaning into the V in VTuber kinda. As well as design traits I like (Liam Vickers' classic murder bow anyone? :3) and so on. Here's what I got so far:

Digital Kobold

Ghost type entity for live chat voice thing (I don't know it just sounds fun x3 and I like freaky and cute lil’ creatures)

Large bow on the head

Large smile/mouth (if you've seen MD, you kinda know what I mean? Just won't move around the face like in the show because that'd probably be a nightmare to rig)

White fur with pink highlights

One digital eye, one normal eye

Cute fangs :3

(Later) Toggles for silly stuff like outfit changes, added icons, and expression based toggles (Roaring Knight outfit while playing Deltarune, for example, just because it'd be fun)

Black and pink dress with digital “threads”

Inspiration from Kali Aimes (SSTWL) and IC-0n (Internection Cube)

Color palette is 🏳️‍⚧️ and a bit of 💜🖤

(Don't know if this is the BEST fit for the sub, but all others kinda just weren't pushing my post well lol x3)

i invested a lot in quality of life things (question)

like starting soon screen,emotes, a pngtuber, will those help me out in the long run or it doesnt really matter?
i obviously was imagining they help with the quality feel of streams but not sure and dont want to feel sad if it doesnt change much, so tell me already, does it change much?

I'm working on Umamo, a free open source replacement for the Cubism Editor!~

I have been working on Umamo for about two months now with the goal to completely replace the Live2D Cubism Editor. I want to make a release candidate by Christmas!(I will regret saying this!) Everyone working with Live2D formats should access to a free open source alternative instead of being locked into the monopoly that Live2D has over the 2D puppet market.

I just released version 0.2.1-dev.

Features(*Built so far):

  • Cross-platform: Windows, MacOS, and Linux (Android and iPadOS eventually the future!)
  • CMO3 and MOC3 import and export.
  • Supports PSD(Photoshop), KRA(Krita), and CLIP(Clip Studio Paint) for layered artwork.
  • Runtime support for Ayagami and Cubism 3.0 to 5.4.
  • Drawable mesh and UV mesh editing.
  • Parameters and Keyform editing.
  • Blender-like interface that lets you arrange and duplicate areas however you like. If you have used Blender you already know how to use Umamo.

What's not built yet...

  • Deformer editing (I'm waffling on the gizmo design.)
  • Physics and animation.
  • Art sourcing and texture atlas pipelines.(In progress now!)
  • Native UMA file format.(Initial design, not implemented yet.)

A shout out to u/HoshinoLina for doing all the research on MOC3 and Live2D physics. A lot of what I'm doing here would not be possible without her hard work.

Ayagami, the open source Live2D, now with physics!

I've been working on an open source Live2D implementation called Ayagami. I just added the last major missing part to use it for VTubing, the physics engine!

This physics engine is a completely from scratch implementation that is more stable and less buggy than the Live2D physics engine. To make sure that physics "feels" the same as in Live2D, I added adjustments that mimic the effect of Live2D's inaccuracies. So it should have almost the same dynamics as Live2D / VTube Studio, but without the bugs and jank.

Ayagami is being integrated into an upcoming version of OpenVT, which is a cross-platform alternative to VTube Studio with extra features (including node-based tracking configuration, which means it also replaces VBridger). We think VTubing technology should be open for everyone to improve and build upon, and work equally well on all operating systems.

Please try it out in the web model poser demo and let me know how it works with your model! Just drag and drop in a .zip file of your VTube Studio model folder. The web demo runs entirely locally within your browser, and no data is sent to any server.

I’m building an iPhone app with VRM avatar support — looking for TestFlight testers

Hi! I’m an indie developer from Japan, and I’m currently developing an iPhone app called **PIPIPI**.

PIPIPI is an avatar-based communication app that supports importing and using your own **VRM avatars**, including models created with VRoid.

Current features include:

* Import and use your own `.vrm` avatar

* Voice calls with avatar lip sync and expressions

* **mocopi full-body tracking support**

* Multiplayer features for hanging out and playing with friends

* A shared voxel world where you can explore, build, ride minecarts, and take photos

**One limitation in the current beta:**

VRM avatars are supported, but **multiplayer with VRoid avatars is not supported yet.**

I’m currently looking for **iPhone / TestFlight testers**, especially people who use VRoid or already have their own VRM models.

You don’t need mocopi to participate, but if you own one, I’d especially appreciate feedback on the full-body tracking integration.

I’d love feedback on:

* VRM importing

* Avatar appearance and animations

* Lip sync and expressions

* mocopi tracking

* General usability and bugs

* What you’d like to see from future VRoid multiplayer support

If you have an iPhone and a VRM avatar and would like to try PIPIPI before release, I’d really appreciate your feedback!

**TestFlight:**

Thanks!

I Made a Paper VTuber!

This isn't an official debut or model - It's more like a learning step. For some reason i could not wrap my head around the concept of cutting with my digital art, so I decided to try *literal* cutting.

I ended up going over the top since I was having so much fun with the experiment. I wanted to share the result because I think it turned out really cool!

Vtube studio lag but everything else fine?

So i noticed my model will lag at times when playing games or just more vtubers in the collab, but the game always has zero hiccups been limiting my games to 60fps as well, but i shouldn't need to

I have my vtube studio gpu priority set on high but even then i feel its not using enough of its resources

Eyes move weirdly in physics. Please help..

I apologize for keeping everything so unorganised haha this was a test run and I just started rigging yesterday!
my parameters that are named “R Eyes X” & “R Eyes Y” were originally for the right eye only but now I have both eyes on X and Y. I then synthesised the corners.
For some reason whenever I go to the physics setting my eyes never move like they did when I was rigging them. They move left and right and kinda diagonally but I want them to follow my cursor. Idk what I did wrong so I’d definitely appreciate some answers.. Thank you!

An idea I cannot comprehend

I have an idea for something and I plan to have it as a start and the vtubers probably have the technology that I am looking for and this has probably already been done but this is my first time in this kind of technology, fair warning, english is not my first language so please bear with me if I poorly explain this,

I am planning to become a semi-vtuber, where I basically only have my face covered, the concept goes like this, I will have a box on my head and have a some sort of tracking on the box where the cartoonish eyes and mouth will be, I wish to control the eyes expression via numpad by preset and as for the mouth it will only move when I talk, no 3d models, just me, a webcam, a box on my head, and animated cartoon eyes and mouth that will track the box.

Again I am sorry if my explanation is poor or hard to understand or even my idea is just confusing, on another note I hope the programs you guys will recommend are free because I am dirt poor, thank you very much!
