Want to stream as an animated 3D character instead of showing your face? VTuber Maker uses webcam face tracking and provides tools for streaming, avatar effects, and model setup.
Webcam tracking and avatar selection
Choose a 3D avatar from the available models, then use a webcam to capture facial expressions and head movement. VTuber Maker maps those movements to the character while you speak or react, so the avatar can appear in place of a live camera image. Face sensitivity settings and expression shortcuts let you adjust how the character responds.
- Use the built-in public avatar selection or load a model made for the software.
- Webcam tracking handles facial movement; hand tracking can use a webcam or supported equipment such as Leap Motion.
VRM models and avatar edits
VTuber Maker supports VRM models. For a custom character, VTuber Editor provides model editing, including adding props, paint, backgrounds, animations, emotes, and sticker effects.
Stream output and interactive effects
The OBS virtual camera sends the animated avatar into a streaming setup. VTuber Maker also includes backgrounds and interactive effects for changing what viewers see. A Twitch extension can trigger virtual effects and avatar animations during a stream, adding audience-driven actions to the presentation.
- Use the virtual camera to show the avatar in streaming software.
- Trigger avatar effects and animations through the Twitch extension.
