Camera Tracking Information
Device Tracking Ranking:
| Rank | Device |
|---|---|
| #1 | 🍎 iOS Device (Apple) |
| #2 | 📹NVIDIA Webcam |
| #3 | 📹Mediapipe Webcam |
| #4 | 📹Webcam |
| #5 | 👽Andriod |
Android vs. iPhone vs. Webcam
What I use for tracking and testing:
🍎ipad mini 6th gen
(A15 chip, iOS device).
In the past I used an ipad 9th gen and it was OK just has issues with looking down tracking.
I would not go older than an ipad 10th gen.
Getting a USED iphone is OK:
Many guides recommend iPhone X but that phone is very old.
iphone XR/iphone 11 would be better.
An ipad works too!
It just depends on the chip in the device.
Phones/ipads seem to track better if iPad is angled somewhat below you.
On 'TrueDepth'
"iOS devices with the A12 chip or newer without the TrueDepth camera are also supported and the tracking quality is roughly the same. Some minor differences may be observed when using the devices in environments with very bad lighting." -Vtube Studio Manual
In other words, you DO NOT need an iOS device with the TrueDepth camera to use exclusive iOS vtuber tracking params.
iOS Chips
The higher the chip, the better the tracking will be.
XR has a A12 Bionic chip.ipad 9th gen & iphone 11 has an Apple A13 Bionic chip.ipad mini 6th gen & iphone 13 both have a A15 Bionic chip
Overall:
Use an iOS device if possible,
webcam is the recommended tracking otherwise. Android is the weakest.
If you are using webcam, your options are using NVIDIA (need an RTX card) or using MediaPipe.
In order to use the webcam NVIDIA tracking you have to download the FREE DLC on steam: Link

Specific Param Information on what is/isn't tracked:
Frowning Mouth:
🍎Only an iOS device is able to detect and track a frown mouth.❌A frown will not be tracked with any normal webcam/NVIDIA/Mediapipe use.Trade off is iOS device is really bad as seeing eyebrows as individuals.Linking them to mouth X can sort of address that. (vbridger links those).
Chart of Param Tracking Differences in Cameras:
Able to: ✅ Not Able To: ❌
| Parameter Name | Explanation | iOS | Android | Webcam | NVIDIA & Mediapipe |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| TongueOut | stick out your tongue | ✅ | ✅ | ❌ | ❌ |
| CheekPuff | Detects when you puff out your cheeks | ✅ | ❌ | ❌ | ❌ |
| MouthX | Mouth X position (shift mouth left/right) | ✅ | ✅ | ❌ | ✅ |
| FaceAngry | detects angry face (EXPERIMENTAL, not recommended) | ✅ | ❌ | ❌ | ❌ |
Face angry IDK what that is 🤷
Setting up Your Vtuber in Vtube Studio
Your Vtuber Model I send you will come with a pre-set up vtube studio file. Please don't lose that. You should be able to redownload it from VGen if purchased there. Or if we have agreed to different arrangements ect.
You WILL have to adjust probably most of the VTube Studio tracking numbers to your tracking setup/your face/movement and it will take some time.
What I give you by default will be off because I don't have your face or camera setup.
Below you'll see some example params in Vtube Studio. Don't edit the ones that say 'don't edit'. And please edit the ones with (edit). Left side numbers only (unless you want to limit things).
*Pay attention to the red dot. You doing the action will cause the red dot to go up or down (such as blinking).
Adjust the numbers to fit what you like.
You might have to record yourself and these settings in order to double check.
As an example: Eye Y by default in Vtube Stuio Auto Setup, left side numbers are 1/-1. But if left this way I find your eyes won't look up. So I changed them to 0.4/-0.4. Adjust what you like.
Your eyebrows not reaching max height your vtuber model can? Adjust the top number to match the red dot when your IRL eyebrow height is maxed on your face.

VBridger: A VTube Studio Plugin:
VBridger
VBridger is a plugin Unity program that increases the mouth shapes available to use in Vtube Studio by a lot. It needs to run alongside with Vtube Studio.
You can chew with your mouth, squint with your eyes, move your mouth up and down using the VBridger Plugin. Vtube studio will not track this on it's own without the Vbridger plug in. Your model has to ALSO be rigged FOR Vbridger to have the extra features.
How To Download
Download Vbridger:
Link to Steam Page $9.99 USD normally.Do you need the DLC Vbridger Editor? Probably not.
Do you need Ifacialmocap app also? I am unsure cause I run it without that and it works great.
Imporant Information
Please watch this video by Light Hoshiko Ch. for a step by step on how to set up VBridger in Vtube Studio.
It covers the basics of that program from installing, setting up, and adjusting Vtube Studio settings to your tracking.
Here is the github Vbridger Manual: Link
VBridger Stuff:
✨With Vbridger, make sure at the top of the screen 'load' the Vbridger ARKitV3.0✨
Light Hoshiko's video on Vbridger doesn't cover squinting, squint best you can and change the top number based on that.
Vbridger Troubleshooting
When using Mediapipe or NVIDIA webcam tracking, make sure the camera is OFF in vtube studio.
Webcams can only be used by one application at a time.
When using iOS device, check all the port numbers
If you see the text at the bottom
"!!! VTS PATH NOT FOUND, FIX IN SETTING."
Go to the top left hand corner and click on the cogwheel.
Look on the right hand side of the settings and click the bottom button to find the VTS folder.
If you are having issues with your camera or tracking r after watching the tutorial video check the Vbridger Discord for help topics and search on that discord to see if someone else has had the same issue.
❌Don't make a post unless you have searched the discord and youtube for answers first. Discord Link

Matcha Fou: Fairy Outfit
Art and Rig by me, MatchaFou!
About Fairy Outfit:
A recolor of an older outfit of mine. I made it green1
For a model I have rigged/my vtuber child, sometimes I MAY occasionally offer to rerig or update something for free depending on how long it would take me/how busy I am.
Sometimes Live2D updates with something cool that I want to adjust on a model OR if mouth tracking changes or needs updated.
My Vtuber children may make a very simple request once in a blue moon (such as an eye iris change/color change) and I may do that for free, but I may turn it down depending on how busy I am/how difficult the request is. Feel free to still to ask though.
Total rerigs or new additions requested would need to be a special request and will need compensation.
I am Looking For a Partner or Guild
I am looking for an experienced vtuber model artist (who has had model commissions) or guild to partner with to offer Live2D models. :)

What am I looking for in a partner?
Easy to communicate with (has Discord) and friendly.
Passionate about their art.
Has experience with model making, commissions has a portfolio and website.
