Step-by-Step Action Checklist

0 / 4 Completed

✓ Step 1 [Prepare Live2D or 3D model assets]: Place your Live2D avatar folder (including `.moc3` physics and expression configs) into the model assets path for web rendering.
✓ Step 2 [Configure Open-LLM-VTuber backend & live listeners]: Clone the repo, install Python requirements, and set your target live streaming room ID (Bilibili/Twitch/YouTube) in `conf.yaml`.
✓ Step 3 [Define unique anime persona & expressive voice]: Write a customized character system prompt (e.g. tsundere gamer catgirl) paired with an anime-tuned TTS voice model.
✓ Step 4 [Capture into OBS and start autonomous streaming]: Pipe the avatar window into OBS Studio and begin broadcasting; the VTuber reads live incoming chats and banters with viewers 24/7 autonomously.
