In their own words
PNGTuber Plus
PNGTuber Plus is a free desktop app for customizing 2D PNG VTuber avatars, with tools aimed at remaining approachable for beginners. Users can add PNG images or sprite sheets for animated sprites. Sprites can move with sine waves, attach to other sprites, trail behind movement, or bounce and jiggle. Individual sprites can appear or disappear when speaking or blinking, and lip sync is supported. Users can change the background color for transparency or green-screen use in OBS, then save and share avatars. Builds are available for Windows, macOS, and Linux. The developer accepts optional support payments, but the software itself is free. The maker links to a public GitHub repository containing the source code and asks users to report bugs, issues, or suggestions through the itch.io community page. Steam lists Windows 10 minimum requirements of a 64-bit processor and operating system, 4 GB RAM, 2 GB graphics, and 100 MB storage.
VRL Cam
VRL Cam turns an iPhone or iPad into a tracked virtual-production camera, placing a VRM avatar in its viewfinder. ARKit world tracking supports avatar placement, while LiDAR depth can help place avatars and hide them behind real objects. Users can import VRM models, use face tracking, receive bone and blendshape data, and play VRMA animations.
The app sends six-degree-of-freedom camera motion and lens data over VMC/OSC and FreeD in parallel. It can send its AR feed through NDI and display NDI sources as overlays. Live streaming supports SRT; SRTLA can bond Wi-Fi and cellular but requires an SRTLA server. The app can record composited takes with audio to Photos and output through HDMI to a TV or capture card. It requires iOS or iPadOS 26 or later and an ARKit-capable iPhone or iPad; face tracking requires TrueDepth. The free app includes every feature for personal, non-commercial use and qualifying individual creators. VRL Link costs $4.99 a month; Pro costs $49.99 a year.
