Calling your parents “parental units”
-Joke from 2004
-No one is happy about this
-Still has the word “parents”
Calling your parents “content creators”
-Modern irony poisoning
-Acknowledges their efforts in procreation
-You can copyright strike them

This is one of the most unique stream overlays I've ever seen.
It's made entire up of real hardware CRTs, with a camera pointing toward them.
It lets the streamer "pop out" of the overlay.
Incredible retro vibes.

This vtuber is a talking bong.

This vtuber created an interactive game world that runs their stream.
Alerts can swirl around their character.

This vtuber was once a history professor, and recently did a history lecture on stream.
It's really cool to all types of knowledge being shared through the vtuber community.
Imagine if more educators were vtubers.
Perhaps this is the future of educational content.

I put Twitch Chat on treadmills and made them power the stream.
The faster they spammed the chat, the faster they ran. The faster they ran, the higher the stream quality.

I made an overlay that turns my stream into an FPS. It's controlled by the mouse and supports zooming in.

When corporate vtubers graduate, they typically become an indie vtuber.
So why do we call it a "graduation" instead of a "declaration of independence"?

I made a stream overlay for Death Stranding that tilts left and right, and chat must spam L and R to balance the stream.

This streamer created a retro Jetsons-style vtuber model and overlay for their Christmas stream.
It cuts to a studio in front of a "live audience" where chat can trigger cheers and boos.

This cartoon-style vtuber has the most incredible details I've seen.
The line art on their model is constantly moving for a "live sketch" effect.
The circuits on their legs also light up with voice.
Their entire overlay and theme is so colorful, and fits perfectly together.

This vtuber has an amazing Sailor Moon inspired style.
Their model can transform into a magical girl with a retro-inspired animation.

Stop what you're doing and look at this stream overlay.
This streamer created an overlay and vtuber that is entirely within a video game level. The camera zoom is such an epic intro.
The chat and captions looks like it's ripped from a PS2 disc.
This is truly next level.

This streamer's overlay made my brain explode.
A living and breathing world, with a huge amount of custom redeems.
They basically redraw their character to make sure its cohesive with every scene. That is dedication.
This showcases what is truly possible with livestreaming.

You don't need an expensive vtuber model for an expressive avatar.

Vtuber concept:
The debut starts with all their collab partners or gen mates giving a eulogy at their funeral. They are dead.
All streams and collabs are framed as memories from their life.
Their graduation is their debut.

I made a stream overlay that looks like a school anime.
Chat could use channel points to throw paper airplanes, and raise their hands for questions.

I turned the Helldivers arrow combos into a channel point redeem.
There is a redeem for each arrow. Chat has to coordinate to get the correct combo for each stratagem.
Each strategem effects the stream visuals in different ways. None of which are very helpful.

I went Christmas Caroling with my Twitch Chat.
I would ask other streamers to pull up my stream so chat can play them a song. If they agreed, I had an overlay that looks like we arrived on their front porch for caroling.

This stream's scene transition is mind boggling.
This vtuber has created their own scene transition from their virtual city into a subway system where they travel to different areas.

Seeing "Grok, is this real" replace "Chat, is this real" reflects our technology replacing humanity.
We are praying to heartless machine to make sense of a post-truth world, when we used to rely on our collective humanity - the chat was made of people.

This is the most terrifying vtuber I've ever seen.
This vtuber's model can be completed deconstructed to its individual components.
They transform into a biblically accurate anime character.
The cinematic effects on this stream add to the uncanny horror vibe.

I created a Sherlock inspired overlay, where I visualize what I'm thinking to solve the mystery.
Chat tells me what to think, by typing in the words that show up on screen. None of which are helpful clues.

This streamer deserves more recognition for their unique animation setup.
Their stream looks like a cohesive animated cartoon.
Each little animation is impressively controlled live by the streamer.
It’s an interview talk show with a goblin.
One of my favorite aspects of my rig is the real time prop interaction that can be triggered while I’m talking and doing my thing. The goal is to make my stream as seamless and cohesive as possible so it feels like you’re watching an animated show #LiveAnimation #Vtuber #Twitch

This stream is insanely meta.
Their vtuber is synced to their 2D overlay as well as the 3D world they're developing.
They draw the pixel art, 3D model, and code everything on stream. It's all custom built from the ground up.
The lo-fi pixel aesthetics are incredible.

I've been imagining myself as a horse girl.
On days when I have low energy, I always tried to get work done. But now, I realize that I have a 75% chance of failing if I'm not properly rested.
It's helped me take healthier breaks and be more productive on training days.

Making this channel point redeem almost drove me insane.
I created a Codec Call redeem that lets chat call in on a Metal Gear Solid codec.
It had Text to Speech, showed a viewer's profile picture, mapped a voice to each viewer, and gave them a custom frequency.

We need to talk about this vtuber's DJ set overlay.
There's so much detail beyond overlaying a vtuber in front of the HÖR BERLIN background.
I think nearly everything is redrawn for an authentic perspective.
The lighting, the camera shake, the colors - this is immersion.

I took my Twitch Chat on another round of Christmas Carols.
We knocked on streamers doors and asked to play them a Christmas Carol for the holidays.
At the end of the song, I asked who they thought were the best and worst band members.
The worst ones were punished.

I made channel point redeem that lets me give birth.
We turned it into a gacha system, where the baby is a fish or a frog. Sometimes they are holographic and rare.
When the baby comes out, they can talk with TTS.

This vtuber mapped their hand movements to create alchemy effects and also control their stream.
Depending on their hand movement, they can trigger a different effect.
This is an incredibly innovative way to use hand tracking.
Since I debuted my current body on february, I also added an alchemy system to it so I can use my hands to control stuff on the stream and on my body.
It has been super fun to use and quite useful to control stuff without having to add extra buttons to my setup!

This vtuber's 3D concert had such a unique 1960's retro aesthetic.

Vtubers are getting insanely creative with channel point redeems.
This streamer has a redeem that lets you take a polaroid picture of the stream.
These pictures then show up at the end in the credits sequence.
It's such a nice way to commemorate a fun stream together.
UPGRADE!!
At the end of every stream now, the stream credits and a series of photo will fall based on photos taken by YOU!!! Via redeem you can take a photo and caption it which then at the end of stream currently up to 12 photos will fall!!!
Also, it triggers on raiding out >:3

I've never seen a vtuber with this unique retro aesthetic.
Their stream looks like an old PC adventure game.
Their body and background are fully rendered, while only their head animates.
The dithering on the model and assets are incredibly important to the look.
