- Hello, internet friend.
In this video, I'm gonna show you how I went
from being a traditional human YouTuber just like this.
Hello, yes, this is me, and turned myself
into a 2D vTuber just like this
in a matter of hours using nothing but a smartphone
Let's go.
So first off, I think we should cover the three apps
that you'll need to download
in order to create your 2D vTuber model.
The first app is Loom.
Loom is an awesome screen recording software app
for both mobile and desktop that allows you to record
what's happening on your screen,
as well as capture audio at the same time.
Unfortunately, there currently isn't an app
that allows you to build and record your avatar in one,
so Loom is a fantastic option to get around that.
And once you've downloaded Loom in the App Store,
you'll need to open it and create a free account.
Free Loom accounts allow you to store up to 25 videos
with a max length for five minutes each.
For beginners, this is perfect.
However, if you are looking to create longer videos
long term, I'd highly recommend upgrading
to the paid plan, which is fairly inexpensive
and it gives you an unlimited amount of videos
with an unlimited recording time.
The second app you'll need to download is called REALITY.
REALITY is a free app to download on both Android and iPhone
and it allows you to create your very own custom avatar,
similar to the one I'm talking to you as right now.
Out of all the apps that I've tried so far
for quickly making a unique custom avatar,
REALITY has been the best and the most user-friendly
and I believe that's because there's no rigging required
in this app in order to track your expressions.
The third app you'll need is called InShot.
So this app will be using to edit our first video together.
InShot is a great tool for editing videos,
particularly on mobile.
It has the ability to do just about everything
you could ever need in an editing program.
InShot even allows you to adjust the stage size
of your videos, so you can easily create
a vertical or a horizontal version of your content
depending on which platform you're planning to post on.
I think it is also important to note
that the free version of InShot does contain advertising
and produces a watermark on your content.
To remove the watermark, you do have the option
to either pay a set fee each time you export from the app
or you can just upgrade to the pro version
which is also relatively inexpensive.
For me, it works out to be $2.80 per week.
So, after you've downloaded all of these apps,
I suggest you put everything together in this order.
Number one, after you've played around
with your 2D vTuber model
and you're happy with your appearance,
set the background to a fluoro green colour.
This makes it really easy to remove the background
from your recording later on in InShot.
Two, you need to choose a background for your final edit.
This could be a cool looping animation
similar to the ones that I'm using in this video,
or you could also just use a static photo background
to begin with.
The choice is yours, really.
Three, once you've decided on your background,
open the Loom app, scroll to the screen recording option
and make sure that your microphone is accessible to the app
and then start your broadcast.
Four, once your broadcast is recording,
all you need to do is jump over to the REALITY app
where your 2D vTuber model should be waiting for you
on the green background.
Number five, once the reality app is open
and you can see your avatar, you need to place your phone
in an angle that you're happy with
and get your 2D vTuber model into position
and then record the content
that you wanna record in that session.
Number six, once you've recorded your content,
you'll need to save your Loom broadcast to your phone
or download the broadcast on your laptop
and then send it back to your phone ready for editing.
Number seven, you'll need to start a new project
in your InShop app.
Set the stage size according to the social platform
that you're gonna be posting on
and add your background media first.
Once you've added your background media to the project
inside of InShot, it's time to use the PiP function
to layer your broadcast that contains your avatar
over the top of your background.
Once you've got your avatar loaded into the project,
you'll need to scroll across to the cutout feature
in the Edit panel.
Once you find it, select it and then it should remove
the green background altogether.
And then finally, after your background has been removed,
your avatar should look like they're comfortably
in their background environment where they should be.
From here, the rest of the editing is up to you, really.
And that, my friends, is how to become a 2D vTuber
in a matter of hours using nothing but a smartphone
and three mobile applications.
I hope you found this video useful, and if you did,
I'd really appreciate it
if you could give the video a thumbs up for the algorithm
and subscribe for more vTuber content in future.
Until next time, I'll see you later.
Bye.
