veadotube
What it is
veadotube is a collection of tools for making live avatars accessible to people interested in virtual puppetry, including VTubing. Its mini app creates a speaking avatar from two character images, switching between open- and closed-mouth images in response to microphone input. Mini also supports extra images for automatic blinking, animated GIF, PNG, and WebP files, and effects that move or darken an avatar. Users can make multiple states with distinct images, effects, and shortcuts, controlled by keyboard, mouse, or gamepad. The full app combines avatar creation and use with an avatar editor, scene editor, state machines, and a node system. It can import avatars made for veadotube mini, HÖNK, and PNGTuber Plus. Both apps can be captured in OBS for streaming, recording, or virtual webcam use. The software runs on Windows, Linux, and macOS. The mini app is free, while an early access membership is $8 per month. The maker says the apps collect no data and save settings and autosaved files on the user's computer.
