GUIDE
A VTuber is short for “Virtual YouTuber”—a creator who streams or makes videos using a 2D or 3D virtual character. On the surface, it looks like an animated character talking and moving on its own, but behind the scenes, a real person is providing the voice and controlling the character through motion capture.
The term originally came from creators on YouTube, which is why it’s called “Virtual YouTuber.” Today, creators on Twitch and other platforms are also commonly referred to as VTubers, regardless of where they stream.

Where Did VTubers Come From?

VTubers as we know them today originated in Japan. In late 2016, Kizuna AI began uploading videos on YouTube and introduced herself as a “Virtual YouTuber,” a term that quickly caught on.
What Is a VTuber?
Basic
A virtual avatar is a digital character that represents you in online spaces. Avatars come in many styles—from realistic avatars that resemble your actual face, to anime-style characters, to 3D avatars used in games and metaverse environments.

Types of Virtual Avatars

In VRChat and the VTuber community, “delidding” (Korean: ddut-dda) refers to opening up an existing 3D avatar model’s source files and performing deep modifications or heavy customization.
If you’ve been thinking about decorating an avatar exactly to your taste by watching ddut-dda tutorials or commissioning someone to do it for you, hold on for a moment .
Before you start, it’s important to understand the technical barriers and the serious copyright risks involved. By the end of this, you’ll see why so many creators ultimately choose Mascoz instead.
