VSeeFace, VMagicMirror and other 3D apps (VMC)¶

VMC is a shared language that many 3D VTuber apps understand. Cuebot uses it to change your avatar's expression: a smile, an angry face, a surprised face and so on. Its card is on Apps > Stream apps, tab VTuber apps. New to this? See VTuber apps for what Cuebot can do with each app.

Experimental

In a test, VSeeFace got Cuebot's messages and moved the avatar's head, but the expressions did not visibly change. So this may not work yet. See What's experimental.

  1. Switch on your app's VMC receiver:
    • VSeeFace: Settings > General settings > VMC protocol > VMC receiver. Then untick Apply expressions under it, or VSeeFace's own expressions cover Cuebot's.
    • VMagicMirror, VNyan, Warudo: look for "VMC" or "VMC protocol" in the settings and switch on receiving.
  2. Check the port number. Most apps use 39539, which is Cuebot's default.
  3. In Cuebot press Connect in the VMC card, type an expression like Joy and press Show for 3 seconds. Watch your avatar: VMC never answers, so Cuebot cannot tell whether the app heard it.
  4. In an action, use Show avatar expression (VMC) and pick an expression. Set For (seconds) to make it go away by itself.

Every VRM avatar has the expressions Joy, Angry, Sorrow, Fun and Surprised. Yours may have more; use the exact name from your avatar. If nothing happens, check that the receiver is on, the port matches, and only one app listens on that port.

Keep VSeeFace tracking your face

VSeeFace's VMC receiver says "disables tracking". To keep VSeeFace tracking your face as well, tick Apply VSeeFace tracking under it, and tick the parts it should keep tracking (Track face features, Track head and neck and so on). Leave Apply expressions unticked so Cuebot's expressions show.
