What it is
veadotube is a collection of tools for making live avatars accessible to people interested in virtual puppetry, including VTubing. The full app combines avatar creation and use, with an avatar editor, scene editor, state machines, and a node system. The free mini app creates a speaking avatar from two character images and switches between them 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 the avatar. Multiple states can have their own images, effects, and shortcuts, controlled by keyboard, mouse, or gamepad. The full app imports avatars created for veadotube mini, HÖNK, and PNGTuber Plus, and accepts input from devices including cameras, MIDI controllers, and WebSocket messages. The apps can be captured in OBS for streaming, recording, or virtual webcam use. They run on Windows, Linux, and macOS. veadotube mini is free; early access membership is $8 a month.
