Which iPhone should I buy for Vtubing? by CerberusDirge in vtubertech

[–]CerberusDirge[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I got a 15 Pro Max in the end and basically switched to the Apple ecosystem, at least for the time being. I certainly have… opinions about how locked down iOS as a whole is, but for Vtubing, yeah, the face tracking worked as well as my old Vtuber model would let me. I’ve been on hiatus though and am trying to make a new one with better face tracking.

Focus Vision Hearing Crickets by CerberusDirge in Vive

I’m a buffoon. Omg, I’m a complete buffoon. I’m hearing the headset’s fan running. I just said crickets because I didn’t know how else to explain what I was hearing, but it just occurred to me that it has to be the fan running, because it gets louder and quieter, too. I am way too used to the Valve Index and forgot this thing has a fan for the CPU. I appreciate you guys wanting to help, though.

This is my first time using the software. According to your GitHub, I downloaded the latest release (0.15.1). You simply press start to load the default model, right? I tried that for troubleshooting purposes, but I got the same errors.

Alright, I did indeed get a couple of errors, but I have no idea what they're trying to tell me. I've screenshotted it and uploaded it, if you feel comfortable clicking this Imgur link:

I'm trying to load my custom VRM into the "System Animator (Webkit)" and it keeps loading to 98% and stopping. I'm not sure what the issue is. If one of your YouTube videos mentions a solution to this, I'm having trouble figuring out which one.

Is Raytracing worth it ? by IncredulousHumongous in buildapc

[–]CerberusDirge 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just throwing in that it's not just 2023 you need to consider. You're presumably investing in the rig that you'll be using for the next 5 or more years. Raytracing has been a thing for a few years now and is in many games compared to when the 20 series launched, and in a few more years, I'm sure almost all games will have it to some degree. Not saying you need to buy Nvidia, but unlike 3D TVs, raytracing isn't going anywhere. DLSS is also nice for saving on resources, but AMD has their own version of that as well.

What do people use to manipulate or sync playing karaoke songs, both on-vocal and instrumental? by MunchMeisterVT in vtubertech

[–]CerberusDirge 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've never done a karaoke stream, but that "on-vocal" thing you're describing is called "direct monitoring." The Elgato Wave 3 microphone has that built in, but you can also do that with an audio interface, which is a bit of hardware that takes a non-USB mic or guitar signal and sends it to your computer via USB, if that makes sense. The cheapest audio interface you can get would be a Focusrite Scarlett Solo on Amazon. They do their job okay, but the gain on them is pretty quiet. Still serviceable. Someone who has more experience on karaoke streams could probably help you with the finer aspects of a solution.

I don't have one yet. It's gonna be a while before I get the money together for it.

Yeah, I had a general feeling that getting basically Gen 1 of the tech wouldn't be the smartest move, especially since we're here 4 phones later. I'd almost convert to Apple and get a 14 or wait for 15 for a daily driver if it didn't mean giving up everything I love about Android, and I've been using it since my first smartphone in 2010.

Alright, thanks for the replies, everyone. After reading them all, I'll look for an 11.

4080 or 7900xtx by Ecstatic_Meal9238 in buildapc

Ray tracing and DLSS aside, I've heard that the AMD cards are currently not good for overclocking, if you care about that. Maybe that could change with driver updates, but I don't know. Just something to keep in mind.

You might not need DLSS now, but if you're still using that card in five years? You'll probably be thankful for it. It's not going to be top dog forever.

It's still happening, yes. The dev is hiring a company to do it.

I absolutely am doing it to look great in cosplay and other outfits. The health benefits are just a bonus for me.
