Naomi's VTubing Setup

Naomi uses her VTuber model for all of her client meetings, as well as streaming. Getting the software to work on Linux is a bit of a nightmare, so this page documents how she does so.

1. OpenSeeFace

In order to track her webcamera, OpenSeeFace needs to be run independently as a native script.

1.1. Installation

This should all be done in your home ~ directory.

  • Begin by cloning the repository:
    • git clone https://github.com/emilianavt/OpenSeeFace
    • cd OpenSeeFace
  • You will need to prepare Python
    • Install the packages: yay -Sy python python-virtualenv
    • Prepare the environment: virtualenv -p python3 env
    • Source the environment: source env/bin/activate
    • Install the dependencies: pip3 install onnxruntime opencv-python pillow numpy

1.2. Running

cd OpenSeeFace
source env/bin/activate
python facetracker.py -c 0 -W 1280 -H 720 --discard-after 0 --scan-every 0 --no-3d-adapt 1 --max-feature-updates 900

2. VSeeFace

VSeeFace does not run natively, and will need to run with Wine.

2.1. Installation

Download and run the installer. When selecting a directory, put it in ~/VSeeFace.

2.2. Running

Terminal window
wine ~/VSeeFace/VSeeFace.exe --background-color "#00FF00"

The --background-color flag creates a green screen background to be chroma-keyed out by OBS.

3. OBS

OBS allows for virtual camera, as well as for streaming.

3.1. Installation

The obs-studio-git AUR package is Naomi’s current installation.
