VNyan vs VRL Cam

VNyan is a free Windows application for creating 3D VTuber animations, stages, tracking setups, and stream interactions. Its Node Graph interface lets users build actions ranging from chat responses to more complex events. It supports VRM, VRM 1.0, and VSFAvatar models, with 2D and 3D avatar workflows and VRM import. Tracking includes SteamVR full body, webcam ARKit face tracking, iPhone trackers, LeapMotion hands, and incoming VMC protocol. Integrations include Twitch, YouTube, Kick, Chaturbate, Fansly, Joystick.tv, and Pulsoid. VNyan supports Spout2 and NDI capture and accepts WebSocket commands from tools such as Stream Deck and Streamer.bot. Effects include audio lip sync, frequency and volume detection, AudioLink shaders, liquid and pendulum physics, and post processing. VNyanNet enables collaboration, while the SDK supports custom plugins, items, props, and worlds. Optional NSFW integrations, including Lovense support, can be hidden. The listed download is VNyan 1.7.2e, with the SDK also available.

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.
