AMONG US FAN-MADE VTUBER RIG - Here’s how to use it!
Hi! I’m Kris, you can find me @imkrisyim on Twitter, Instagram, and Twitch! I made this sample Among Us Vtuber rig for fun, and if you stream a lot of Among Us and you’re curious about Virtual Streamers/Virtual Youtubers, you’re welcome to try this out! Disclaimer: I am in no way affiliated with the Among Us team.
INSTRUCTIONS
1. Included in this package are a bunch of files! Here’s a
quick rundown: - The .PSD files are the Photoshop files that I used to make the assets (you don’t need to touch these) - The .CMO3 file is the Live2D project file. You’re free to mess around with the rig if you know how to use Live2D (but you don’t need to touch this) - The .JSON and .MOC3 files are the files you’re gonna need! This is the exported rig (you’re face-tracking program is gonna look for these) - IMPORTANT: in the AmongUsLive2D.2048 folder is the TEXTURE FILE that includes all the body parts for your rig! The only required .PNG is the one named texture_00.png (all the others I included as a bonus, so you can swap out to the color of your choice)
2. Get a face-tracking program! If you already know how to
use PrprLive, Facerig, or VTube Studio, you can pretty much skip to the end. In this guide, I’ll tell you to get PrprLive on Steam, because it’s free! It’s totally free!
3. Once you open PrprLive, you might get an animated
background. You’re gonna want to disable the animated background in the bottom left corner. 4. Then, select the first icon from the menu and load up your VTuber rig (make sure you know where you put your files!) 5. Once it’s loaded, you can use the controls shown on-screen to move it around and size it (Alt Drag, and Alt Scroll)
6. You might have to go into Face Capture Settings and
change it from “Cursor” to “Face Capture” (oh yeah, you’re gonna need a webcam!) 7. So, I think there’s a way to load PrprLive into OBS directly, but I don’t know how to do that… So we’re going to keep our VTuber in the corner of our screen somewhere with the green screen, and crop a Display Capture, key out the green, so we can put our VTuber anywhere we want.
8. So, drag the PrprLive window to the side somewhere,
preferably on your second monitor.
9. Go into OBS or Streamlabs OBS and add a Display
Capture (Window Capture won’t work for some reason) and select the display with your VTuber on it 10. It should show your whole desktop now! You can crop it by holding Alt and dragging in from the edge handles (but not from the corner). Crop it to fit your VTuber, leaving a bit of room for it’s range of movement.
11. Right click the Display Capture layer and select Filters and Add (+) a Color Key. These are the settings I use 12. Once you put everything in place, you should be good to go! Happy streaming! Go buy Among Us and support them!
CUSTOMIZING YOUR AMONG US BEAN
1. Right, so earlier I said that the only texture file you need is texture_00.png so why are there so many images in the texture folder???
2. Here’s what you see
3. Again, texture_00.png is your main file. If you want to change avatar’s colors to another color, just rename current texture_00.png to something else (just so you have it for later, if you want), and rename the preferred file to “texture_00.png”
4. Then, reload your model into PrprLive and it should be
done! 5. You’re free to make your own colors or patterns by editing the .PNGs directly with Photoshop or any drawing program of your choice! You can also draw your own hat for your VTuber rig, using “hat sample” image for reference to see the invisible borders of the hat texture area.
