Why Sneki Snek Is Perfect for VTubing Beginners
Sneki Snek is designed to be welcoming for first-time creators:

If you’ve wanted to try VTubing but didn’t know where to start, the Sneki Snek VTuber Mascot is a fun, low-pressure first step.
What You Need
You only need three things to get started:
- VTube Studio (PC or macOS)
- A webcam for face tracking
- The Sneki Snek Live2D model pack (unzipped)
Optional: an emotional attachment to our favourite sustainability mascot.
Importing Your Sneki Snek Model
VTube Studio organizes VTuber avatars inside a folder called Live2DModels. Adding Sneki Snek is simple:
- Open VTube Studio once to generate its folder structure
- Navigate to the app’s Live2DModels directory
- Drag the unzipped Sneki Snek folder into it
Restart the app, and Sneki Snek will appear in your list of available models.
Setting Up Sneki Snek for a Clean, Crisp Look
Once Sneki Snek is loaded into VTube Studio, do a quick initial setup:
- Select ICON.PNG as your model icon
- Set Idle.motion3.json as the default animation (for smooth wiggles)
- Enable Fix White Outlines for sharper edges
These small adjustments ensure Sneki Snek looks polished on any background, especially helpful if you’re placing the model over gameplay or overlays.
Using Toggles: Sneki Snek’s Expressions and Reactions
Toggles are what make your VTuber model expressive. Inside VTube Studio’s Expression Editor, you’ll find a list of built-in Sneki Snek expressions – eye shapes, blush, sparkle effects, and more.
You can easily:
- Turn expressions on/off
- Combine multiple reactions
- Remove ones you don’t use
- Build entirely new expressions
Sneki Snek comes with everything you need for a lively, reactive streaming presence.
Creating Custom Expressions
If you want Sneki Snek to wink, sparkle, or switch moods mid-stream, you can create your own expressions:
- Open Expression Editor
- Click Create a New Expression
- Toggle on whichever elements you want
- Name and save the expression
Some combinations can’t run together (like two mouth shapes), but experimenting helps you find Sneki Snek’s best reactions quickly.
Assigning Hotkeys for Real-Time Animation
Hotkeys let Sneki Snek react instantly during gameplay or conversations.
To bind a toggle:
- Scroll to the bottom of Expression Editor
- Click the + icon
- Select Hotkey Action → Set/Unset Expression
- Choose the expression you want
- Hit Record and press your hotkey
This is how Sneki Snek blushes, sparkles, wiggles, or panics live with you, and it’s one of the easiest ways to bring more life to your stream.
