What is Missing From VTuber Tools Right Now?

[cloud]

There is a lot of cool stuff available to VTubers like models, overlays, tracking but I still feel like something is missing.
We invest so much into our avatars, but it is not always obvious what we actually own. And when we grow beyond just streaming such as sharing our characters in the real world or having something to give to fans that they can actually relate to, there are not many tools that actually facilitate that.
Is there something you wish existed but just has not been built yet?

@cloud Totally feel this what we need now are tools that help VTubers own and extend their identity beyond the stream.

[Virtual Roost]

@cloud Agree with this, would love to see tools that help make our avatars feel more real and shareable beyond the stream.

[SoftWingz]

@cloud I totally agree ownership and portability of avatars really needs more attention. Would love to see tools that help us connect with fans beyond the screen.

[EmberDove]

@cloud Yeah, I get this. Something that connects avatars to real life is really missing.

[FeatherStream]

@cloud Totally get this. It feels like there’s a gap between digital presence and real world connection.

[Aria Lennox]

@cloud It's wild how much we invest in our avatars but still feel limited outside stream.

[MidnightLore]

@cloud It’s not just about streaming anymore our avatars deserve lives outside the screen too.

[NeonPioneer]

@cloud We need tools that treat avatars like full creative IPs, not just skins for streaming.

[SoftBoot]

@cloud What I do love is a platform that treats VTuber avatars more like transmedia characters—easy to license, merch, or even appear in fan collabs without jumping through legal or tech hoops. Right now, our reach feels locked inside OBS.

[LucidLoop]

@cloud I keep wishing for something that helps us turn our avatars into more than just a stream presence like merch, figures, or even ways fans can interact with them offline. Feels like that part’s still missing.

[Akuma]

@cloud Yes, We need better ways to share and own our VTuber identities.

@cloud Imagine if we could actually own a physical version of our VTuber selves, like a desk buddy. I would literally cry.

[echodusk]

@lunar My3DSelfie makes those kinds of figurines. Once I sent my avatar in and they printed a small me. When I opened the box I actually just stared at it. Like wow, that is me but real. Likewise you can send in your model and they turn it into a mini version of you.

[Virtual Roost]

@echodusk Omg that’s so cute though. I have always wanted something like that but never knew it was even possible.

[VibeCraze]

@Virtual-Roost Same I thought you would need to learn 3D printing or sculpting or whatever. This sounds way more doable than I thought.

[static nova]

@cloud I think this is the kind of stuff that makes VTubing feel even more real, not just on-screen.

[echodusk]

@cloud Honestly yeah. We spend all this time designing and rigging our avatars, but we never get to keep them in any physical way.
It is a kind of wild that something so core to us only exists digitally.

[VibeCraze]

@echodusk This lowkey sounds like what that "phygital" trend is getting at. Mixing the physical with the digital.
And like we are already halfway there as VTubers.
