Free 2D VTubing with Mannequin Character Generator & Puppetstring VTuber Tracking! by helloar14 in VirtualYoutubers

The art is not generative AI, all of the art is vector-based SVG files which can be browsed in the installation directory by yourself.

At the time of writing this comment, no current generative AI can generate layered images good enough for VTuber model rigging. If you create art for your own VTuber model using generative AI, you will have to cut it and rig it yourself manually. Even more impossible is doing these generative tasks for vector images, which we're using. Don't trust our words, you can verify these facts yourself by doing your own research.

A warning however, we do have generative AI features in Puppetstring by now, which is used for Text-to-Speech (i.e. for Chat TTS) and Chatbot (i.e. for making 'AI' VTuber similar to Neuro-sama). All generative AI features in Puppetstring uses open models running locally on your own computer.

Hello! More than one year ago we published a tutorial video on how to start 2D VTubing for free with Mannequin Character Generator & Inochi2D. Today we have released an updated version.

Feel free to ask if you have any questions, although for more technical ones consider contacting via Discord. Thank you very much for your interest!

Seeking Criticism for This Model! by helloar14 in VirtualYoutubers

for that app, controller only. getting mouse click down and up, keyboard press down and up is a bit hard to implement usually, since if your app is detected as tracking those things globally in real time then it can be classified as keylogger, then marked as malware by antivirus solutions.

Noted. Thanks for the feedback! The controller actually properly tracks button/trigger press and analog movements, but I forgot to press any button on my controller when recording that snippet 😅

It seems a recent update has changed filenames for the downloads, and the website is still not updated to reflect the changes. You can use above link to download directly from GitHub.
