Flow Studio Tool Lets VTubers Vlog in Real-World Footage
Flow Studio opens a practical path for VTubers to shoot outdoor vlogs without dedicated equipment or specialized compositing skills, as demonstrated by a test walk video filmed and edited by Omuraisu Shokudo.

MoguLive tested Autodesk's 3D compositing tool Flow Studio for a VTuber vlog shoot along the Arakawa river with Omuraisu Shokudo. The tool composites filmed footage with CG characters through AI motion tracking, letting a virtual figure appear to walk through real space. The creator shot from multiple angles using two selfie cameras and one mirrorless camera, then composited the results during editing.
Autodesk's Flow Studio works by layering already-shot video with CG characters. AI-powered motion tracking aligns real human movement with the character, so the virtual figure appears to move through the filmed space. The app ships with sample avatars, and selecting one replaces the live-action person's appearance. Output data can be exported to Maya or Blender for finer adjustment.
The test shoot used two small selfie cameras for close angles and a mirrorless camera for wide shots. Omuraisu Shokudo filmed on an August day along the Arakawa river, moving through the scene while the crew watched. Their tips for outdoor work: avoid busy roads, skip extreme lighting conditions, and wear clothing that clearly shows the lines of the face and body.
