Makeup is used a lot to make features stick out more onstage. I figure that it works the same for tracking, it's kinda like having a big 'go here' sign. I like the vid, have a lovely day!

[@fufuyaya990]

Who know? maybe Vtuber companies in Hololive, Ninisanji, Kizuna Ai etc. might already use this method before Vtube was popular among public?

Mine is showing my background not my face so pls help me!

[@Kyosumari]

Try putting up a sheet or blanket or tablecloth with a bright but light color, solid with no patterns. There may be too much visual noise, or something that is tricking it into believing there's a face back there, maybe even an errant mannequin head - Idk what you got, but the solid color blocked backdrop should help with that. A brighter color like white will also help your light diffuse and reflect, which is usually one of the most important parts of getting tracking to work right - bright enough lighting for your camera to pick up the features, especially if it's a lower quality webcam.

Thanks for helping them!

I actually asked this question a few years ago, partially because Im asian AF and have big cheeks, puffy eyelids, and TINY LITTLE EYE SLITS, and it was hurting my face to constantly strain my eyelids and try and pull back my damn chub to try and get the rigging to keep my damn eyes open and track my expressions, and partially because I wear glasses, which interferes with it catching my eyes over the bright and saturated frames of my lenses, and the lenses themselves, and due to aforementioned tiny slit eyes (with a /severe/ football shape due to intense astigmatism) - even with Vbridger!, And I bet with practiced application, you could use the same trick that anime cosplayers do to extend the lower lash line and help your eyes appear bigger with some white liner. Thank you for testing this out for me since Im lazy and busy AF and hadn't gotten around to testing it yet myself since I haven't been streaming as much for a while. This is GREAT to know!

Glad my video helped you! Let me know if it worked!
