ToonTubers V2, A new type of Vtuber! (Free Tutorial)

[@Zedrinbot]

This is one of the coolest things you've made, and considering how many streaming gadgets you've made, that's a lot of competition.

[@ScottFalco]

Aww thank you!

[@lamithroni]

@@ScottFalcowe now need a toon link toontuber where all he does is make those grunting noises, and add that one part of your totally legit speedrun where he rants about gender equality

[@lucazeroblueversion9346]

​@@ScottFalcodo you think using models from source filmaker could also work or is this mainly for 2D?

@@lucazeroblueversion9346 if you record what you want in sfm and put them in sammi and change the settings to fit them, it should technically work

Yoo thanks for not only making a (second) tutorial, but also for sharing your files and folders for us. Really appreciate the effort you put in all of this.

[@Raph___A]

I'll use this when I can. Thank you, Scott. You are an unsung hero in the VTubing community.

[@Banezarian-]

I'm impressed by how much you've managed to improve the ToonTuber engine between iterations! Though i do use an existing PNGtuber engine within SAMMI, it's nice to see variations and easy access to more cool software!

[@matthewsheridan4642]

Scott I cannot thank you enough. As I mentioned before, I had an idea for streaming that this PERFECTLY fit. You didn't have to update for the new files but you really went all the way with this. Thank you so, so much. I really appreciate it. God bless you

[@purplemantis6695]

I literally just moved over my previous animation folders after copying the new deck info into the most up to date OBS/Sammi setup and it all worked immediately. You continue to be an inspiration! (Also R.I.P to StreamFX's creator for causing so many headaches)

[@MihaiZetta]

Thank you for being so thorough with your setup. I was digging you ToonTuber concept when you released your first tutorial, and I appreciate you helping to fill a gap that has a different flavor than the many Live2D models out there.

[@fluffyxai5065]

OH In case it helps anyone! Cus I got stuck on this with both of these tutorials but I figured this out! If you don't know what you're doing with the scene and the greenscreening, you are supposed to just leave the tuber occupying the whole scene and then _on the scene you're _*_actually going to be using,_* you can go to Add > *Scene,* and then put the entire tuber scene in there. I had been struggling with this cus it seemed like that would be the sensible thing to do but I could not figure out how to do it?? but when he explained in this video that you can add the greenscreen to the _scene itself,_ not to the individual items (like I had done XD), that got it to click and then I finally found the button I was missing haha So just go to your *normal scene,* or create one, which will have all your UI, game capture etc etc, and right click in the right-hand box and hover over the Add section, or click the plus sign at the bottom, and then there is one in the list called *Scene.* If you applied the greenscreen ( *Chroma Key* ), to the tuber scene as he shows in this vid, then you can jsut resize it as needed.

[@fluffyxai5065]

Also, my character has a blue body, with more purplish markings, green eyes, and pink mouth insides and blushies. so I had to use a colour wheel to find the colour that was farthest away from any other colour/tone on my character to use as the chroma key. you can manually set your own colour and adjust the sliders until it feels comfortable. Be aware that an antialiasing artifact halo will require more tollerance on the chroma key which can cause it to bleed into other colours, so you want the outside of your outline to be as rigid as possible. I ended up saving mine as APNGs, but I think Gifs are also supposed to work, just be careful if your export is getting downscaled cus that will most likely cause antialiasing on the outline. A little is fine, but the more there is, the harsher the chroma key has to be, and that can cause bleed with the transparency.

[@fluffyxai5065]

Or maybe just... avoid using a character with green eyes XD or green anything, and just use the default haha.

[@CharmedReally7]

THANK YOU, i couldnt figure it out for hours, i love comments like these.

[@CharmedReally7]

@@fluffyxai5065 btw have you encountered an issue where upon pressing a hotkey for a different animation, your entire tuber just dissapears until you reopen the program and have to manually find the folder with sprites again?

[@fluffyxai5065]

@@CharmedReally7 yikes! No I haven't. I haven't had time to make more animations for different emotes so he just has the one. I also haven figured out how I'll switch between them either. But I'll have to keep an eye out for that one

[@Lupandwich]

Thank you so much for posting this guide and giving us the tools to make this style of puppet. The face tracking style of V-Tubing has a bit too much of an uncanniness for me, but your Toon-Tubing setup seems to have so much more freedom of expression, even though it's limited to voice-activation and key binds. I've been putting off making videos (mainly out of shear laziness), not only this has this inspired me to learn how to animate, but it has lit a fire. As cheesy as it sounds, thank you so very much for this gift.

[@MysticalTemptress]

Thank you for this. I can doodle stuff and mildly animate lol so, I can't wait to get this going.

[@greml.airbin]

As someone who has wanted to get into vtubing for a long time but has never had the time nor knowledge to do so... Thank youuuu!!!

I first thought that VTubing was pretty tricky but easy to do.....but this....i have a whole new respect for VTubers and ToonTubers

Thank you so much for this tutorial!! Setting this up on my OBS as we speak. Plan to work on a toon tuber for it the next few days

[@goshyn00]

Awesome, been waiting for this update. Tried going back to the first one but was just having too much trouble with OBS and my own lack of tech savvy and stuck with a regular PNG. Really looking forward to trying this out.

[@The-Determined-Ninja]

Everything is going incredibly smoothly so far! I personally had a little confusion at first as I mistakenly told SAMMI the _actual_ Mic name as opposed to just what OBS calls it, but all went well once I sorted that out...! (^ ^;)ゞ -Incredible, this time around it practically sets _itself_ up-I have to say quite the contrast and update from the last Amazing job and thank you so much-! (人*´∀｀)｡*ﾟ+

[@RicPendragon]

Thanks Scott! Ever since I stopped using Adobe Character Animator, I needed to figure out a new system, and for some reason, most of the free Vtuber programs aren't very 2D Friendly

[@vladedin3024]

This is so amazing! Thank you for figuring stuff like this out, I might even try my hand at it. Something a little less daunting than a Vtuber, and something a little less stagnate as a PNG tuber!

Definitely gonna try setting this up tomorrow as I'm starting to stream again, thanks for this amazing tool!!!

[@Jacqthepossposs]

this is cool, and it doesn't even have to just be used for stream avatars! imagine using that sort of thing to make your own animated adlib comedy series like Aqua Teen hell one could make avatar animations for ads and other things with this method! you didn't just come up with a cool vtuber idea, you came up with a really cool live record animation method! Adult Swim would be jealous. lmao

Huh! I was already using the Audio Move plugin do do something similar with gif files, but was trying to figure out a good way to branch into emotes. Definitely gonna try some of this out when I have some time!

[@dwanko01]

Hi scott!! i've been working on my toontuber since the first video arrived, so my question is: if i want to use toontuber V2, that means i have to like.. delete everything else from V1 to make it work? im kinda scare to delete everything from V1 because i have like.. waaay to much expressions and time invested, so, if i want to use V2, how should i start?

[@DunstansShoe]

Yo Scotty, if you use browser sources instead of media sources you could use transparent animated WebPs, Gifs, or APNGs instead of video files. Then no chroma key required. Edit: If using browser sources you do need to use the css line img {background-color: transparent !important;} for it to work. This didn't use to be needed, but chrome's default image handling changed so.... yeah.

[@redspiritmask]

Thanks, I've been thinking of having an animated character for my educational videos so I might give this a try.

[@BeanzYTZ]

I did everything i was suppose to do, but when i run it in the "first run" place, it gives me error messages and when i talked nothing happened, plus there were multiple image things in my obs of the character frames

[@KittyLitterYT]

i had an idea to get a bunch of usb pedals and have each one correspond to a specific animation, and then play it like an organ to trigger specific animations. would that like. work

[@ScottFalco]

Yeah that's what I do lol

[@Brownd55]

Most universal solution would be to adapt them to keyboard bindings, there's programs to do that from MIDI assuming those are MIDI pedals

[@HedonisticActor]

In case anyone can help: I have otherwise gotten the character to work but instead of the animation's background being transparent it appears as black and covers the screen behind it. EDIT: Found the solution from another source. Basically you need to group all Tuber source files in the OBS scene and create them their own chroma key filter.

[@rne-8369]

Thank u mate!

[@LBerrybell]

Woooah, this got me really excited and i really wanna try it out. The link for the starter folder is broken unfortunately :(

Hey scott is their a way you can show us how you import your character while using sammi in a video? This honestly confused me alot i made my own avatar but i cant find out how to get each different emotes into obs with sammi in general. sorry if this is too much to ask but it will really help out!! thank you so much

This is a great tuber thingy I love it, but I have been struggling with only one specific thing that I can't seem to properly fix, and that's it when I have between emotes, for some reason before doing the SET animation it displays for one frame the PEAK animation just before and after the SET animation is done.

I've tried this multiple times. At 2:30, in OBS, under the column 'Sources', there are two objects with a paper icon beside them called 'PEAK' and 'TALK'. They do not appear in my OBS. After I hit run in SAMMI, there a quick error messages that flash and disappear. It says something like "OBS error: { "code": 600.0, "comment": "No filter was found in the source 'Desktop Audio" with the name 'TALKING'.", "result": }" It seems like this is causing the two elements 'TALK' and 'PEAK' not to appear. does anyone know why?

[@xestuff]

From what I've seen with a friend trying this out and having the same issue, is that they didn't download everything properly and didn't put it into the plug-ins folder for OBS, they just kinda rushed everything, I'd recommend going step by step for now.
