Linux-native Live2D VTubing software
Work in progress
VLiva is currently in active development.
Public testing is not available yet because the project is still preparing the required Live2D Cubism SDK licensing / review process before release.
VLiva is a VTubing application for Linux that can load and run VTuber models created with Live2D.
The project was created to address the limited availability of native VTubing software on Linux.
Many VTubing tools are primarily built for Windows, while running them on Linux through compatibility layers can introduce instability, limitations, or additional setup.
VLiva aims to provide a native Linux VTubing workflow, including:
- Live2D model loading
- Webcam-based face tracking
- Real-time avatar control
- OBS / streaming workflow support
- Native Linux desktop UI
VLiva is not intended to be a clone of VTube Studio.
It is an independent VTubing application designed specifically for Linux users.
