[@saiyurix]

I'm genuinely surprise that you mentioned gacha. I've been using for 4 years now and honestly I'm really happy :D

[@DreadedEspresso]

I was really happy about that too, I feel like most people look at Gacha and think it's just little kids making NSFW content, but I've seen some adults use it professionally, so I really don't get why people are so rude about it when it's such a good source of inspiration.

[@itsvrtimewithmaya4742]

I used gacha 4 years now 🙏🥺✔️❤️👌🏻🖐🏻🏳️‍🌈🫶🏻

Actually, on gacha club/gacha life theres something called body map, it's where most of the body parts you might want to move are separated so you can screen shot it and edit it then you can animate it

I’m a gacha animator! (Mainly Live2D). Y’all, it’s super easy! Just, I reccomend watching some tutorials for hair, lip sync and eyes as they could be quite difficult for beginners like you and me! I learned it in less than THREE DAYS just to tell you how easy is it!

[@imagominus]

That's funny, because i actually made my png avatar using Charat, i just made a few alterations on it because, as many options as there may be, it doesn't have _everything_ i want, so i just added the things i wanted to it. I also keep mentioning that my avatar is mostly NOT self drawn because i am not an artist (yet).

[@MariYumeCh]

Charat is honestly so cool!!

[@imagominus]

@@MariYumeCh YES! And sadly so underrated. Maybe it is the limited language options, idk.

[@lovecimarron]

ive just created my avatar on charat how do i make it... m o v e ?

[@miershyk]

@@lovecimarron Charat do have a Live2D service but you'll need to pay them to create a Live2D using your created image by copying the URL and emailing them the details. Another way is to separate all those parts (hair, body, arms, clothes, eyes, nose, mouth etc) into separate layers in PS or Clip Studio and then rig it in Live2D Cubism instead. But if you don't want to rig, you can watch Mari Yume's linked video for reactive or gif pngtube tutorial. I myself am in the process of using Charat to separate multiple layers into PSD and importing into Cubism to make a proper Live2D avatar.

[@StrawIsAStarAndLovesHerSubs]

@@MariYumeChwell if I use how can I use it?

[@spoopyvirgil4944]

As an avid user of picrew and gacha club, I can confirm they're both good at getting feels of what a character will look like!Though I'd extra extra extra recommend gacha club if you use any of the gacha games because of the adjust feature they have on there. Adjusting means you can change positions of accessories, face markings, wings tails, ears, and the likes. They also have options for small "animations" mainly for hair, tail, and wings. (They also have a blink option)

[@DorkLordAsh]

Just made a Picrew that allows Commercial use while my Live2D model is being worked on, and funnily enough, it's one of my favorite Picrews too! I've always enjoyed Picrew's works, but never did I realize I can use some as a PNGTuber! I appreciate all the advice!

[@zellasteria]

gacha is sort of limited but its still an amazing way to make an avatar! most people rig gacha avatars with mostly live 2d _also to get the separate parts on gacha life its the hashtag at the very first icon at the bottom, gacha club you go to hide which is located at the top of the screen and press on the three body maps at the bottom_ hope this helps!

[@koifish4276]

meanwhile i used to rig gacha using kinemaster, capcut and cutecut 😭 rigging static images per frame isnt the most fun experience but rigging with live2d probably isnt either

[@zellasteria]

After you are done making your PNGs, head over to my brand new How to Stream Reactive PNG AND GIF for Vtuber Collabs With And Without Discord [FULL TUTORIAL] kzbin.info/www/bejne/mHy8o5qvjM95eNU&ab_channel=MariYume

[@miershyk]

Thanks for this video! Charat is something I highly recommend as well because it's really great to customise your avatar. The one you shown is the most common and highly popular style, though Charat also has other ones (for example a male and female version art), so you can do more. There are also chibi versions. I do wonder about their TOS about not using it for crowdsourcing purpose. What about donations? Especially as vtubers also have a donation/tip link. I guess if it's not specifically used for major crowdsourcing it should be fine?

[@prova1370]

is charat an app or available on pc?

[@ricestrange]

@@prova1370 it's both for mobile and computer as a website

[@qiuqiu863]

I've used gacha for 7 years now I'm so happy you mentioned it!!

[@DiankoLastrea]

I think most people don't recommend it for a very simple reason - most of picrews and some of these sites possibly too cannot be used for commercial use, so you won't be able to receive tips of any kind or have monetization at some point.

[@MariYumeCh]

Hello Dianko! I explained how to ensure that you can use it for commercial purposes in this video, Charat and Gacha club are 100% fine to do that if it's related to video games, streaming, and making tiktoks/youtube videos ^_^. The one you have to look at is Picrew since some artists are not ok with it, but some are!

[@DiankoLastrea]

@@MariYumeCh I remember there was some controversy around people using picrew for thumbnails, so it's good to avoid using it unless it's stated you can ^^; just to avoid any troubles. Other than that, good tutorial!

ur the most helpful channel i've been able to turn to when it comes to vtubing tips! tysm! keep up the good work :D

[@p3ach_silhouette487]

I'm honestly really surprised but happy you mentioned Gacha because it gets a lot of backlash, I actually created what i want my model to look like on gacha club😁

[@felyjelly]

as a person who quit drawing 5 months ago, this is such a big help :D

[@TheSuperbigben10]

I would like to say a massive thank you for your help I was getting interested in vTubing and I hope to stream on twitch soon and I’m really glad I found this video. 😊👍

[@Elgirl]

I use Gacha a lot but I wanted a more realistic character and this helped a lot tysm! Edit: so I downloaded a lot of apps and Reality is the best but I also found Vurtu which has hand tracking but you can’t customize your own OC

[@elbereth2738]

awww i get so happy when you call us bobas ^__^ it's such a cute term of endearment besides that, great vid!! and super to the point !!!

[@CatsGoMeow]

Thank you for being so aggressive on the artist credit! Much love to the artists everywhere :)

[@trickeuchre8353]

Ooh, I remember playing around with Charat but I couldn't for the life of me remember the name!!! Thank you so much 💕

[@yami280]

Where can you find Charat?

[@remon.yo2]

I‘ve already thought about using a gacha character and you can also get a character sheet where every body part is separated so that you can animate it in Live2d.

[@ChimeraLotietheBunny]

Fortunately as someone that is an artist and just needs time management yes..this is helpful since I want to make the. Model myself

[@Ame.IsRain]

By the way!! If you want a 3d avatar, REALITY is a pretty good start- I use it! It has good starter outfits, gacha pulls for outfits, too! There is a large group of people who use it lol. (As far as I know it's avaliable on Android and maybe IOS

[@SmilieVyrie]

Gacha had so many options! That is so cool! 🤩

[@MicyPie]

Omg, I can't believe I've used these three apps/websites for a while now and didn't know you can make png tuber models with them 😨

[@ShinobiGodSoulReaper]

your makes this video alot more comfortable since following directions on this app is stressful usually.

[@arpittiwari6410]

Just the video I was looking for!!! OMG!!! I can't believe I finally found a video on this topic😭

[@akimotoren9025]

This is such a helpful video, great job Mari!

[@Simply991]

I'd recommend one of those Ai Image generators if you have a good idea of what you want it might be a good starting point and you never know you might like what the Ai come up with plus whatever the ai comes up with you could give that image to the person you decided to commission so that they have reference of what sort of thing you would like better to give them an image then trying to vaguely describe what sort of character you want

[@hanaahakii_]

AI generators steal from actual human artists so I don't recommend using them. Doing so would risk in you getting a lot of hate and they're not very professional as well. I actually make art sometimes as well and honestly my art isn't really great but the thought of someone stealing it is still really terrifying for me.

[@sabrina_ze_wolf]

I've always wanted to be a vtuber so I'll try these, thank you!

[@some_ramen]

though gacha would be good for vtuber models, most youtubers dont make their own models though, and call themselves gachatubers instead since they use it to animate or make mini movies, etc.

[@Kane_fox]

When mari finds new stuff :D

[@MariYumeCh]

I JUST GOTTA SHARE IT XD

[@Lynn.x2]

Im a gachatuber and animator too i didnt really think gacha can be used as a vtuber model but it can be but only 2d i think for people who dont know how to animate you can find on youtube and for apps for animating like capcut,kinemmaster,alight motion and most reccomended live 2d and you can seperate body parts in the app too!

[@DeathStriker88]

The worst thing I have ever experienced is, I wanted to become a VTUBER but wasn't been able to since 4 years. Yes, I never got to start. Only because no youtuber or streamer wants stickman character and that's why no artists work with stickman characters, and my avatar is a stickman character. Everyone is just about human character. Let it be anime girls, 9 tailed fox, or anything. I have even seen people using will-o-wisp and other creatures as their avatar. I guess it just feels good to watch VTUBERS but that's all about it. When you want to become a VTUBER and need your own unique avatar, that's the end of your journey. No youtube tutorial, no artist, seriously no one can help. I am also not inhumanly hyper intelligent like others that if there is no solution, i will make a solution myself.
