Have you been to YouTube or Twitch dot television and seen that streamers there are not webcams, but CRITTERS or ANIME? Have you ever wanted to be a CRITTER or ANIME on a stream? There are ways, and I am here to impart knowledge to you.
Teach Me, Enby-sensei! What programs do I use?
Fugi - Using the same tech as the Fushigi, and making it lighter by removing the 'shi', you can use this very lightweight solution where all you need is an image and to be in a Discord voice channel or chat. Even if you don't use it for yourself, it is a popular solution for stream guests, as it can detect everyone in a voice chat, not just you!
veadotube mini - do you wish to be a CRITURE? Do you wish to shake and shiver and bounce whenever you speak? Do you want your images CRISP while using a program that's LIGHTWEIGHT? This is your tool. Combine it with hotkeys and you can switch character sets with redeems or mood! Wanna be ANGRY CRITUR? Wanna be DIFFERENT CRITURE? Anything is possible.
VSeeFace - One of the most popular solutions for the world of 3D is VSeeFace. Using *.vrm or *.vsfavatar files, you too can be an anime! It's a little bit old and janky, but if you put in the work, you can get perfectly satisfying results.
VTuber Plus - This program piggy-backs off of VSeeFace's facetracking and currently loaded model to expand the visuals (by supporting fancy shaders and effects). If you wanna run two programs at once, it does the job! I used to use it.
VTube Studio - When you wanna go FULL ANIME COMMERCIAL CONSUMERISM you go VTube Studio! If you enjoy how the big names look, and you can get someone to make a 2D live model for you, you can look absolutely snazzy with this one. (I used to use this one as well! It's neat!)
VNyan - A free replacement for VSeeFace, this doesn't piggyback like VTuber Plus and also has some crazy scripting options and ways to mimic sounds other than A and O (fun fact, your non-iphone webcam can only detect those mouth motions!). This is my current go-to.
Enby-sensei, I saw this cool VRChat avatar, how do I make it my Tuber??
Do not thank me for cursing you with knowledge that will only make you ask more questions than give you answers as the abyss of Unity being a fucking bitch consumes you.
In the next post, I will show you the wonderful world of scripting in VNyan :
"If you see me, please just walk on by, walk on by
Forget my name and I'll forget it too."
I really may have to write up my adventures in converting a VRChat avatar to a VTuber, because I see a lot of what you've linked there where people just turn it into a VRM, lose a ton of information, and have to manually rebuild things. If you use Warudo and it's own extension of the VRM format you can keep your Poiyomi shaders, use a script to convert Physbones back into Dynamic Bones, and have a very accurate copy of your VRC avi with a lot less work than the VSeeFace/VRM process requires. I was even able to combine it with LIV, my Quest 2 with hand tracking, and Slime FBT to get full hand and body tracking over top of the game.

Yeah the link I put in only covers VRM, but I convert my VRChat models into vsfavatar format and retain all the custom shaders, but it does come with rebuilding everything like you said.
Is Warudo's extension of the VRM format compatible with anything that can read VRM/VSFavatar, or can it only be used in Warudo?
"If you see me, please just walk on by, walk on by

I don't know, after briefly testing the options I settled on Warudo as the one I wanted to use for webcam-based streaming so it's all I have proper experience with.
