This driver is virtually identical to the FaceRig virtual camera - the only notable difference between these drivers is the expiration date of their digital signatures.

We are in the process of updating the driver’s digital signature, but it is not yet complete. When the signature expires, the virtual camera will cease to function on most devices.

You will need to install this device, which serves as a backup for the FaceRig virtual camera, to continue live streaming and video chatting with FaceRig after January 1st, 2021. This update includes a new virtual camera driver called the Animaze Virtual Camera. Today we are releasing a pre-emptive update to FaceRig to ensure that you can continue using FaceRig’s broadcast functionality to livestream and video chat. At the end of this sale, FaceRig will no longer be available for purchase. Before that happens, though, we are holding one last goodbye sale for those of you who requested a final opportunity to own a bit of metaverse avatar history at a discount. As a result, we will stop selling new FaceRig licenses in 2022. Of course, we’ve also seen similar controlling behavior from large social network companies.īecause building and testing an independent engine takes enormous focus and effort, and software support has a large cost, (particularly for custom avatar imports in a custom engine), we don’t have the resources to support the old FaceRig on its discontinued engine. In recent years we’ve seen big gaming companies silencing their e-sports champions as soon as they voiced opinions not aligning with the gaming company's best financial or political interests, underscoring the importance of an independent avatar solution. We consider our independence of great importance to guarantee freedom of speech for all avatar voices in the coming metaverse. To the best of our knowledge, Animaze (and Facerig before it) is among the very few fully-featured avatar apps and tool suites out there powered by an indie engine. We were thrilled to launch Animaze on iOS in Autumn 2019 and PC in Autumn 2020. Inspired by VR chat’s free base with optional subscription, we focused on a metaverse-centric, avatars-as-a-service paradigm, but built on an independent engine. To help overcome these challenges, in 2018, we secured capital from external like-minded investors and started building the new Animaze engine and technology from the ground up. As larger companies began to enter the market, we saw innovation blossom but also censorship and control creep in. The world of avatars and VTubing has changed significantly since our 2014 Early Access launch. The external team that developed FaceRig’s render and animation engine disbanded, making any further development on FaceRig a lot more challenging. We realized the future of FaceRig and its continual improvement just was not sustainable. We’ve loved seeing all the artwork and characters you’ve brought to life with FaceRig!Īs much as we loved (and still love) FaceRig, we were facing a tough situation three years after launch, in 2017. A year later, we pioneered VTubing as we know it today by partnering with Live2D. Facerig was born in 2014 as one of the very first software suites that enabled anyone with a webcam to digitally embody awesome avatars.
