About

Animaze is the successor to FaceRig, an avatar animation and streaming platform for 2D and 3D characters. A webcam, iPhone, or audio input captures the user's expressions and movements, and Animaze maps them onto a digital character in real time for streaming, recording, or video chat.

It ships with premade avatars, supports importing Live2D, VRM, and Ready Player Me models, and works as a virtual camera with OBS, Discord, Zoom, and Google Meet. Tracking data is described as runtime only for privacy. There is a free plan with watermark, with Plus and Pro tiers for streamers who need commercial use.

What it can do

  • Real time face, hand, and body tracking onto 2D and 3D avatars
  • Virtual camera output for OBS, Zoom, Discord, and streaming apps
  • Avatar editor with props, backgrounds, and community sharing

Setup

Install Animaze from Steam on Windows or the iOS app and pick an avatar.

Prerequisites

A webcam or iPhone for tracking; a Live2D or VRM model is optional.
