Chapter 130.7 - SS 11
SS 11. [Becoming A Vtuber For 0 Yen ~ Avatar]
"I'll tell you how to get a VTuber model for ‘0 yen'!"
"Hey, wait!"
But can such a thing be possible?
It's the kind of information I wanted to hear.
But the regular price is tens of thousands to hundreds of thousands of yen.
"Could it be some shady method?"
"There's no way, right?"
Worried, I asked, and Mai-san placed a hand on her hips and got angry.
Thank goodness, it seems to be a legitimate method.
"There are several ways to obtain a VTuber model for 0 yen, you know? For example, using models that are distributed for free or applying to an agency to debut."
"…Hmm."
"I know what you mean. It's not the kind of answer you wanted to hear, right? The way to get a model for 0 yen is to make it yourself!"
"No way!?"
If I could make it easily, I wouldn't be in such a predicament!
Oh, wait a minute! Could it be!?
"Mai-san misunderstood! I remember you were helping with your sister's debut, right? Let me tell you, ordinary people can't do amazing artwork like that!"
"It's not like that! Even though you mentioned ‘artwork,' it's different. Well, nowadays, you can make a single illustration with AI and automatically embed bones into it, or even use AI to generate animations. It's not impossible, you know?"
"???"
"Well, you don't have to worry about that. After all, Ilyena-chan won't debut with a Life2D or a 2D model."
"Not 2D? Then what could it be?"
"That's right. Ilyena-chan will debut in ‘3D'!"
"What?! That's outrageous!" I exclaimed.
I already researched it once.
I know how much money it costs.
3D models are much more expensive than 2D models.
They can cost up to a million yen. It's on a completely different scale.
"In the case of a complete amateur, it's not like that, you know? If you use a certain something, though…"
I realized it.
That must be the key to the story.
"And that certain something is a ‘modifiable and commercially usable 3D model'!"
"Does that mean you'll use something that's already finished?"
Just to make sure, I confirmed it.
Mai-san nodded emphatically, saying, "That's right!".
"And some of these models can be easily customized even by amateurs!"
"So you mean I can create my favorite model!?"
"That's right!"
While explaining, Mai-san installed several software programs.
The first one she launched was…
"VLoid Studio?"
"That's right! This is one of the software programs that allows you to easily create and customize 3D models."
Several software programs can create these types of 3D models.
Does Mai-san know all this stuff!?
"Another recommended app is ‘Homunculus,' and it depends on your preferences. Oh, but be careful because they terminated their V活 last year… Oops, sorry, I got off track."
"…Yeah."
Mai-san was talkative.
There was a slight concern, but I decided to focus on the main topic.
"So, with this software, anyone can easily create a cute and fantastic avatar, right?"
"Well, umm, I guess you'll have to try it out yourself?"
"Let's do it!"
I clicked on [Create New].
First, I chose "female" from the base model…
"Ugh, not cute at all!?"
A bald woman appeared in the center of the screen.
I saw various icons for hair, eyes, mouth, and more lined up around her.
"Yes, well, it's just the base! From here, you can select your favorite parts and create…"
I mustn't be discouraged before even trying.
I began selecting hair and parts that I liked.
In no time, the character's impression started to change.
Adjusting the parts was easy. Just by moving the bars for each item.
Yes, it was easy, but…
When I looked at the finished product, I let out a scream.
"It's not cute at all~~~~!"
"Hahaha, I thought so!"
Strange, the controls were so simple!
For some reason, I couldn't make it adorably perfect.
"Well, you know, character creation in games can turn out completely different depending on the person."
I realized what she meant.
Upon closer thought, what I was doing now was pretty much the same.
"In the end, you don't need to be good at drawing, but you need other talents instead, huh?"
"In that case, I don't recommend it. And this is the main point. Here, a ‘sample model'!"
Mai-san operated the program and showed me some downloaded models.
They were high-quality 3D models.
"This is the work of professionals."
What I made was entirely different.
Especially the clothing parts, which didn't preset, but seemed to be made from scratch.
"Ilyena-chan will choose one from these and create her model by modifying it a bit!"
"I-Is it okay to do that?"
"That's what's great about it! And this is exactly why I recommend VLoid Studio!"
It turns out VLoid Studio has "fewer restrictions on the use of sample models, allowing many people to easily utilize and engage in creative activities with 3D characters".
So generous!
"Of course, it's essential to review the terms of use and to use it with common sense and manners."
Unlike creating from almost scratch like the base.
Thanks to the cute base.
I can do this!
"Alright then. Next, I'll give you advice on ‘What design should a VTuber model have?'"
Huh, isn't it enough to make it according to my preferences?
To that doubt, Mai-san responded.
