There's a good amount of updates coming to the program so ill make an update HOWEVER in 1.2 you can send saves for pngtuber plus if you have friends or commissions you wanna send the model to! and they are working on adding gifs soon so be on the lookout on their twitter twitter.com/kaiakairos

[@corrin_arts]

also one important thing is: for squash to properly work, everything has to be centered on the canvas i didnt do that cuz i hoped to move things like the head to the origin point but ig thats not possible yet i also really hoped it would squash things idividually (instead of basing things around the origin), but its early in development anyway so i wont complain :]

[@AMelodicPerson]

Ohhh thanks for telling me hopefully they fix that

[@kgKlou]

Hold down "O" (not zero but Origin) and move WASD to move the origin point.

[@tamriis]

Oooo new png software? Sign me up! Time to learn!

[@AMelodicPerson]

Hope you enjoy it!

[@aoshin23]

Ok so I tried the software, and I'm loving it so far! Like I don't need to Live2D my PNGTuber just to make it more lively. I only have a few things I wish the dev would consider before I can use it, however: 1. I want it to have the PNG toggles similar to veadotube mini, so I can have different expressions under one outfit (?) 2. Not sure if it accepts GIFs, but I want to use GIFs for the eyes, I want the blinking to look more animated lol 3. Maybe it's just me using way too many layers, but the last time I used it, the CPU usage of PNGTuber Plus for me is a WHOPPING 30%. GPU usage percentage, too. So it would DEFINITELY suck when I play games. >.< Overall it's a great product, and I hope to see it optimized better in the future. I really want to use it badly >.< For now, I will use veadotube and rig my own models in Live2D. (yeah, a lot of effort, but I wanted to learn Live2D anyway)

[@S4NSE]

cpu 30% is literally insane

[@ArianeMMusic]

Such a helpful tutorial and introduction to this program!! Definitely looking to playing around with this myself and referring to this video again

[@AMelodicPerson]

Thank you and Im glad I can help you!!!

[@bpblitz]

I just wish there was a way to set up different expressions and gestures that I could easily toggle between.

[@AMelodicPerson]

You can with costumes! Idk if there are keybinds but you can still use them for diff expressions

[@maxmoch6044]

When using Photoshop you can export all files with the export option "export to file", then activate png 24, activate transparancy if not selected and deactivate trim layers. Saves alot of work

Just wanted to leave a comment saying thank you for the amazing tutorial. This made learning how to use pngtuber plus much easier. Lots of useful tips. Was just wondering if you have used or found a way to switch "costumes" with a shortcut? I know you switch via number keys while the window in active but trying to figure out a way to switch using a Stream deck. Subscribed :)

[@alyssaannsolano1094]

Thank you so much this is so helpful! manage to make my first pngtuber and now I'm obsessed of making different Characters 😆

[@Yoruel]

Well, tbh the eye moves way too much for me now :,) and the mouth seemed more smooth and natural while talking in previous one All the extra things are nice tho and make the character more lively.

[@AMelodicPerson]

Did you copy the eye settings to the head? Or you can always play around with it and lower the settings that usually helps!

[@Yoruel]

@@AMelodicPerson I meant after observing your character change :') and I mean if you like it that way then that's ok. It was really just what I see n what I liked more on old one.

[@kittenclown9596]

hey, question, do you have any idea what to do if the default model folder is missing? for some reason on mine it is and i dont know what to do

[@eeeeeehhhhhhhh]

Does this program have settings for different expressions like Veadotube? How much is allowed to change between one and the other if it can? Also, what are the small numbers under the edit menu? Sorry for all the questions;;; great video btw 🥰🤲❤️

[@AMelodicPerson]

I think so! I didnt do them personally but the numbers are under numbers and called "costumes" but Im pretty sure they can be used as different emotions (sorry if im wrong)

Wonderful tut I managed to get things working! Tho one question idk if it was answered in the vid and I missed it but how do I get the window thing to disappear when I exit edit mode? It still shows it for me

[@springscrap4327]

this really helped me

[@ravenofthemist]

I do primarily want to know how you get the swaying tail animation at the beginning of the video. This is an amazing tutorial but the Png ideea that I had was centered to animate as smoothly and continuously as the tail flicking at the beginning of the video behind the character. Is that available with this software?

[@Z0rTh3Odd0n3]

I would but I have no computer currently, therefore I am on Mobile. So, I'll have to check it out later when I have a computer.

[@craftmastr]

For some reason, the program just kinda stops/pauses on OBS when I minimize the window, so I have to have it on, which kinda sucks since I need the screenspace for other stuff

[@kvl2420]

This all seems to work well for chibi type png characters, but what about a fully fledged properly proportioned anime character for example? Would that be too complicated, I wonder?

[@AMelodicPerson]

Ive seen a lot of vtubers with this program even full body anime type and its all managable maybe a lil more work but it can be done!

[@kvl2420]

@@AMelodicPerson Thank you! I'm really struggling between whether I should use veadotube or pngplus. Which do you think is easier?

@@kvl2420 Veodotube personally you can get plugins to be bouncy in obs too to make it easier!

Your tutorial is awesome and helped me a lot! thank you so much for making videos like this! my only question is: how did you make your tail? is it an animated gif that you put behind your character or is it animated in this program?

[@AMelodicPerson]

Its a seperate gif in my pngtuber scene so if I move the scene in obs it will move everything including the tail!

Hi, thank you for the informative tutorial! I've tried playing around with the program and it's very useful, but do you know why sometimes I can't select layers? E.g. I load in body.png first but I can't select it unless I use the scroll wheel, and even then it can't link to other parts properly...

[@aceflorins]

Thank you for this tutorial! I was looking into this program and decided to look up how to use it and stumbled upon your vid first. :) I do have a question though, if I was rigging/animating a model for a friend, do I just send them both the folder with the assets and the .save file if they're using the same program?

[@AMelodicPerson]

If you have version 1.12 you its updated to send just the save!

[@aceflorins]

[@twistedthe1]

WHERE THE HELL DOES THE IMPORT DIRECT TO! WHERE DO I PUT THE IMAGES!

[@olliepalaa]

i think my blinks are broken...

[@snippetclipper]

I like the idea of this program but honestly it just needs a ton of QoL fixes. I don't understand why linking layers requires you to spam click or drag a line to each individual piece you want to link and hope it hits the correct layer instead of just... letting you choose from a list. It's also the only time it really lets you use a mouse to adjust anything, since it forces you to use WASD to move the rotation points around and Q and E to adjust layers for some reason. I don't know why pngtuber programs in general never let you reorder layers by dragging them like art programs would. The effects also just feel WAY too strong in general, I can't imagine ever going past a 10 on most things and it goes up to 30, meanwhile even a 1 feels strong for some effects. I want to like it because I love the idea of having shake/squish effects on the layers but it's just... not easy to use the way it is now

[@callmekayxx]

i feel bad though i wanted to donate but im broke as well

[@notriri_animations]

i dont have the defaultavatar file?

[@FazeRings]

What art software do you use to make your model? Edit: Wait are you using MediBang Paint Pro?

[@ChaoticNalilitoMC]

Hey I have a question that I've been struggling with. With it comes to clipping, can you only like 2 things together or can you clip multiple things together? Thanks for the tutorial! :)

[@AMelodicPerson]

I may be wrong but I will make a follow up later to this answer but I’m highly sure you can clip more than one thing seeing I connected the hair to head and head to body but I’m not quite sure sorry :(

[@ChaoticNalilitoMC]

[@justinnyugen7015]

Is there a way to feed pre-recorded audio into PNGTuber instead of the mic? I'm reading scripted material, which sometimes requires multiple takes. Otherwise I'll have to find some workaround like playing the desktop audio into the mic and then do a window capture on the avatar

[@cxnnibxls]

its not showing up as transparent for me for some reason! idk what to do : (

[@AMelodicPerson]

It could be the program you're using, if you should save in png not jpeg or if your bg isn't transparent then try to find the transparent settings seeing some programs automate to a full white bg layer and not immediately transparent hope this helps! (if not google how to make the art program you use transparent!)
