General Discussion for Virtual Youtubers / Vtubers / Chuubas - it's okay to be a simp for 2D, just don't thirstpost.

What about twitch? what % they take?

50%, although apparently tax is already accounted for while the remaining revenue after Youtube's 30% cut still needs to have taxes factored in.

How about just taking an existing model and modifying it? its what roosterteeth did with rwby or whatever, they literally took MMD models and recolored them, donut steel style

Some do it home-grown, and while the models are usually rough in comparison to sleek professional work, a lot of the audience will be willing to look past that if the Vtuber is charismatic enough. Suisei herself drew and rigged her own model before being officially absorbed into Hololive's main branch, and you can compare and contrast her original avatar with her modern one to see where the money goes.

This sounds like an extremely hilarious scene. Mio chasing Pekora around trying to smell her while Pekora yells "iyaaaaa!" and then Matsuri joining in because she thinks it looks fun.

Scene in question

Senchou really trying her best to communicate with her overseas sexy boys & girls. Though I hope she doesn't feel forced to do so.

It's the best business decision to make and also a good life skill to have in general, there's really no downside even if she's forced.

Deron will be the singer for the opening theme of the "I'm standing on a million lives" anime second season. The first season seem to be doing well. It was just finished airing from october to december last year and a second is already greenlit and schedule to premiere on july this year.

The machines, they are taking over our jobs, I tell you. Won't be long until we see a full vtuber production staff.

Speaking of job, sugar baby Sara pretends to be a communist, starved her family.

Open letter to the wendys guy; perhaps you could do a google search or lurk a bit before spamming the thread with basic ass pointless questions and takes.

Here's A-chan singing with Roboco

The proper recording version if anyone's interested. This was Roboco's solo performance in Bloom(The fabled sexy-voice one)

Fun fact, the song is apparently written by A-Chan. Makes me wonder if she has a hand in writing other songs within Hololive too.

Something about Roboco's song bothered me. The music felt eerily familiar. So I have gone to this preview song link in her channel and saw this name.


Fun fact: that guy made this.

 

[Lurker Throwaway]

HoloFightZ is currently live!

Current fight is between HoloEN 0th Gen Haato x Haachama vs 1st Gen AmeSame

Spoiler: END

Now it's just a royal rumble. HoloFightZ made shuba the beefiest.

Speaking of job, sugar baby Sara pretends to be a communist, starved her family.

Hoshikawa inner terf were let loose in the first playthrough. She btfo the thot who gave her the ticket to the strip club even though the passport was valid because "it was disgusting", btfo the tranny with the true and honest woman passport in the most humiliating way possible by questioning his gender multiple time before rejecting him.

Not to mention moments such as messing up the screen 3 times in the span of 1 hour, doesn't care about her family dying and only give a shit when told it's game over when everyone dies, complains about why can't she live on alone. Laughing and clapping at the terrorist. Using the wrong stamp multiple times after wasting time abusing the inspect feature to double check every thing. Got annoyed when people get all their papers correct since she wanted to reject them, want to shoot someone just for faking the passport to cross illegally, ultimately getting a game over due to debts.
She began to try hard and play seriously the second time, but the first playthrough was very Hoshikawa-like, and I enjoyed it immensely.

Superchats are also very very convenient and easy to use. Try getting a massive audience to actually read the description to go to the link for stream labs, type in a name, amount, the message and press send. Also, while I think censorship is retarded, YouTube does block some yabai gamer words that could possibly get them banned as it appears on stream and correct me someone but I don’t think stream labs censors or it’s a lot easier to get around it. I know in reality stream labs is easy to use but don’t underestimate people’s stupidity of having to read the description. It’s already hard enough for people to read the rules in the description.

Twitch uses stream labs. YouTube has a way bigger audience by far. Also not many Japanese people used twitch hence why they started on YouTube. Twitch is also way more bitchy than YouTube when it comes to retarded reasons to ban someone. I bet that Miko, Rushia and Korone would’ve been banned or partially suspended when they said nigga when playing gta V.

I get the point of youtube since it basically has a monopoly on web video

I take niconico is dead now? I remember the kitsuna character being there

And yeah I know twitch is shit but since they seem lenient towards shitty titty streamers I thought they would make an exception for animated titty streamers

Possible, there are people that even have modified team fortress model for it

and watching Haato streams, what the hell, how she can go full loli to normal to MALE on the fly? never understood the Red kun meme until now, the strongest idol keep earning that title

Yeah the engineerplays guy I think was the name, he didnt have many subs either

Is that haato a girl or a guy pretending to be a girl? anyway I think they just swap 3D models, you can do that shit on an iphone X and thats what they use right?

Got pics of the new and old avatar?

Seems to me those flat-looking 2D avatars are more expensive to make? because of the custom design and shit, meanwhile like I said before you can just take an existing 3D model and recolor it, add some accessories and make the boobs bigger/smaller

Boom, you got your OC

Is that prerecorded or done live? I take you would need a pro mocap rig to do that live

First question, yes you can use Iphone X to tracking your face to moving the rig. Nico2 didn't die but dying.

Second question, haato is girl. You want guy? See holostars.

Third question, depends of situation. Cover back then scout Miko and Suisei to join hololive but they can use their old avatar and now being upgrade. For the rest of member, they use new avatar by Illustrator of course it's expensive you don't have to asking this.

Fourth question, they done live mocap it so you should fucking watch they after stream they totally beat as fuck after concert.

And You. You should learn more by lurking more rather asking this. What you ask is the most basic thing to know vtuber stuff.

I feel like I'm part of the problem humoring this but I guess this is a chance to show some of that juicy Suisei history

Old

New

To be honest I think her old art had a whole lot of charm but the model's rigging was definitely barebones, to say the least

Though in general I would say Suisei is a high standard for indies, she's immensely talented

I mean she made everything in this apart from the song itself with no company backing as far as I know

Thats pretty good, was expecting some really amateur shit instead

However I saw the old videos and the difference really shows up in motion, but that was to be expected

I hope she got a better deal from holo for joining, better than the one newcomers get I mean

Anyway, with the song you mean the lyrics or the actual song?

There's a fan documentary that pretty much tells you everything you need to know about Suisei, though the relevant bit of info is that she was a unique case of a Vtuber getting admitted into an agency without relinquishing her identity as Hoshimachi Suisei, and along with that all of the business connections she made during her time as an indie.

It does give a bit of a hint as to why someone would want to join an agency rather than continue going solo.

As for her single comet, it's in the video description - she provided the vocals and animated the MV herself.

I was about to post that video. . . you brought the rattlesnake to the hammer.

@wendys dog dude. I'm all for questions for deeper stuff, and some basic catch-up, but my man, your asking five minute google questions. And I know the thread is a bit daunting, but I jammed 400 in an hour and a half to be thorough before jumping in. You have the search function. . . thing is a life saver for specific information. All of your questions have been answered here at some point.

Also cant they do the superchat in a separate site and just use youtube for video hosting? that way they dont have to pay that 30% for the tips right? or you mean for the ads

YouTube will eat the chargeback costs. Imagine how much they would of lost if chargebacks could hurt them when Coco was being brigaded.
