Questions and answers

Can I generate a character from text alone?

Generating a new character from text or reference images is not available in the new UI yet. “新しいキャラクターを作る” opens information about creation. For now, select a prepared character from “キャラ一覧”.

Do I need a camera?

Not for image review or static OBS display. Use one to check head, eye and mouth input.

What if my camera is not found?

Check Windows camera permissions, the connection and whether another app is using it. Then scan for cameras again.

Are backgrounds removed automatically?

The prepared samples retain their alpha transparency. Background removal during asset preparation is separate from automatic removal of arbitrary images inside the app. The latter is unavailable; opaque input stays opaque.

Does OBS output continue when minimized?

Browser-source output is connected. Closing the preview is separate from stopping output; fully quitting the app stops it. Whether this candidate continues delivering your real movements to OBS while minimized still needs final testing.

Where are my projects saved?

Character selection stays on this device. Save camera measurements with “この設定を保存”. Stream position and size save automatically or with “配置を保存”. Check the saved status. Integrated backup and restore in the new UI are still being prepared.

Can I monetize streams or make merchandise?

Software and character rights are separate. Commercial and sample-use conditions are undecided; the drafts alone do not grant permission.

Available now. Still to come.

Choose a sample to check head direction, blinking and mouth movement. The appearance of expressions is still being refined. Image generation and automatic transparency for arbitrary images are not available yet. Real-face tracking and simultaneous use with OBS need final testing.

What about prices and accounts?

Free allowances, generations, subscriptions, renewals, cancellation and commercial-use conditions will be announced together before sales begin. Sign in or create an account for the app and website. Sign-in and paid access are separate. Subscription checks and payments are not connected.

Must I purchase before downloading?

Our policy is not to require a purchase for the app download. Public distribution is being prepared; prices and feature terms remain undecided. This does not mean all features will be free.

Does the cloud make PC performance irrelevant?

Heavy preparation is planned for the cloud, but rendering, camera processing, OBS and games run on your PC. Minimum and recommended specifications are undecided; smooth low-end PC performance is not guaranteed.

Can other VTuber software use the model?

Current models and .aster projects use a proprietary format. Direct import elsewhere and VRM or Live2D export are unsupported. Video display in OBS is a separate feature, as are format compatibility and rights to use a work.

Can I use an illustration I bought?

A purchase may not grant all necessary permissions. Check that editing, cloud processing, streaming, commercial use and your other intended uses are allowed.

No character appears

Wait for loading and check the selected character. If an error appears, use Reload rendering. Keep the error text and character name if it repeats.

Camera unavailable

Check USB, Windows camera permissions and use by another app. Stop, refresh the camera list and select again. Adjust face position and lighting if recognition fails.

Cannot create a new character

Generation and production entitlement checks are not connected in this UI. Existing characters remain usable. View plans opens information; it does not purchase or grant access.

Layout not restored or OBS blank

If saving failed, retry Save layout without discarding your edits. Check output start, URL and 1280×720 in OBS, then reload the Browser source if needed.
