@@xvnbm It's not necessarily about what viewers would rather watch, but people that might not be comfortable in front of cameras will be more willing to become vtubers. On top of that, with a vtube avatar, you can create a much bigger separation between yourself and the character you portray. As for the future, hololive and vtubers are already super popular now, so it's just the beginning.

@@aoaoli do you have to pay for that?

[@aoaoli]

@@empty_world3397 Nope, free download. Search "VSeeFace" and it should be the first link at the top (of Google). Once you finish your avatar just export it ( at the bottom of the tab that says Camera/Export in VRoid) to .vrm (it should do that automatically) and open VSeeFace. When it loads, there'll be a menu where you calibrate your webcam and mic, then click where it says "Add Avatar" (or something like that) then load the .vrm file. It should work and be able to capture your facial movements after that!

[@transformersrevenge9]

One (fe)male vtuber was caught like that. That's why hololive girls stream through their phone. sort of a two step security.

[@transformersrevenge9]

@Halo Kay from what I have heard, they use their phones to record their faces, and then the phone sends the info to the computer, where it is used to move the 3d model. From what I gather, it's done to avoid errors that would show the face of the person being tracked. If the phone/computer setup suffers an error, the 3d model will just disappear, instead of showing the girls face.

[@transformersrevenge9]

@Halo Kay take it with a grain of salt. I think I read it on r/hololive or somewhere, and while nobody there said that they are wrong, it's still good to double check.

I'm a wannabe VTuber, and started out on facebook. What I noticed was drawing a character and using a PNG first as your avatar worked WAYYY better than vroid. I think it is because of uniqueness and PNG'S can be drawn with different emotions n stuff. in my opinion, it's another epic option if you can draw. Also, what makes more impact towards viewers is personality and your willpower to actually make people smile. Without those two, someone with all the gear in the world won't explode in popularity
