Comtuber: the least tracking for the most expression C:
"Com" is short for comic, as it changes expressions more often than commonly used pngtuber software such as
veodotube mini
, but falls short of animation/Vtubing, giving a comic-ish vibe.
This is a free open source project I made to try and
✅ show as much expression
✅ remove manual expression switching with hotkeys
❌ turn my laptop into a jet engine
As cool as it is, it simply is a highly modified version of this
MediaPipe demo
Here is the
GitHub
for Comtuber :3
Setting up Comtuber in OBS
I believe the best way to set this up in OBS is with "Browser", and you'll have to put the "--auto-accept-camera-and-microphone-capture" flag to allow permissions.
For Windows check out how to add flags
here
For Mac just buy a model and do Vtubing instead (jk use the same link as windows)
For Linux use flatpak: "flatpak run com.obsproject.Studio --auto-accept-camera-and-microphone-capture".
Go to "Sources" and hit '+', use "Browser" and type in "https://comtuber.vercel.app" with the height and width the same as your images. The example images are 128x128px. BTW, you can't have two instances running, so set it up first in a browser, close it and have it in obs.
Congrats! You are now a comtuber :D
If "Browser" doesn't quite work, a not as good strat is to use "Window Capture" or "Screen Capture". Crop the window by holding Alt and move the edges, then using filters key out the background color.
If those don't work, consult a chatbot, restart obs, restart the computer and somehow it'll work maybe.

Type "Iwannaseemyface" below to see your face, THIS WILL SHOW YOUR FACE (duh).
This isn't saved in the json file, cause your face should be private!
"Show Tracking Stats" gives basically all the info you need for Tweaks, so if you don't want ppl to know your face, maybe you shouldn't touch this at all.
Applys on Enter.

Add More Faces/Modify Existing Ones
Now that you have the basic 12 faces, you can add some more faces with b(blink) and p(pucker). Pucker is better explained in Tweaks/Pucker.
You can also modify existing faces :D
Note that if the face code "bxxp" isn't set, it will try "bxx" then "xx", which means you may need to set both "xxp" and "bxxp" for pucker. Ex: "bdsp" -> "bds" -> "ds"

Tweaks
You can tweak settings here! Check them all out :3
Choose a thingy:
FPS
Blinking
Mouth
Raised Eyebrows
Squinting
Smile
Frown
Pucker
You can set the FPS up to 60.
This changes how often the img is updated.
Remember that this is COMtuber, so it's made for a comic book like feel. If you raise the fps, it makes it switch faces faster, not smoother.
GIFs also won't work that well.

Pucker is a weird setting.
My best definition for pucker is the NOOT NOOT face Pingu makes, uh ya.
It exists because mood detection for an open-mouth state is hard, and my 😆 face ended up getting the same face code as my 🤬 face: "so".
To solve this, I got pucker, and roughly "so"=😆 and "sop"=🤬. It's not as good as I want it, but it's good enough.
