📝 Description

Single-course path from blank canvas to a moving full-body VTuber: concept and drawing first, then part separation, full rigging, animation, and debut setup. The publisher page claims 70 clips and about 35 hours, but the source pack holds 72 videos; the delivery manifest totals 39:58:14, so the card states the measured 72 clips and about 40 hours. Full release Sep 25, 2023 (early open) comes from the publisher page. The source pack ships Korean customer subtitles (plain, 72 files); English subtitles in delivery are TTS-matched. No public preview video was found on the publisher page, so the card keeps video_preview null.

🧑‍🎓 Who this course is for
