BE YOUR OWN WORLD-CLASS VIRTUAL CHARACTER

Video chat, host, and livestream as incredible 2D and 3D avatars with Animaze! Built as the successor to genre-defining FaceRig, Animaze is now powering stars like PuffPuff, who has grown to become a top TikTok virtual being!

You can also use it just for fun. Easily transform yourself at the click of a button and connect with your family, friends, followers, and fans on any platform that works with a webcam. Customize and add props to create your own unique persona. Animaze is the character creator for your online self.

Key Features List

CUSTOMIZATION & EXPRESSION
Choose from a vast array of premade base models or import your own. Select from a wide range of animals, objects, and human avatars. Add props, backgrounds, and emotes. Before you know it, you’ve got a custom virtual character ready to go!

CONNECT IN MINUTES
Get up and running with your very own digital avatar quickly and easily. After an initial setup, Animaze works with webcams or iPhones and is compatible with OBS, SLOBS, Discord, Zoom, Google Meetings and more!

IMPORT YOUR OWN Live2D, VRM and Ready Player Me Models
Already have a model? No need to start over! Use our guides to convert and import your models into Animaze.

HIGH QUALITY ANIMATIONS
Aside the classic webcam face tracker, Animaze connects with additional trackers including iPhone TrueDepth tracker, Ultraleap (formerly Leap Motion), Mocopi (Sony's motion tracker), Tobii Eye Tracker, VMC data streams, and the Perception Neuron motion capture suit. Your virtual character (who-or-whatever they look like) accurately represents the emotions you are looking to portray.

ROBUST TOOLS FOR ARTISTS
Use the Animaze Editor and comprehensive documentation to turn your 2D and 3D models into avatars, props, and backgrounds. Then, share them with the creator community!

… AND MORE!
The Animaze indie engine is the result of years of work and thoughtful feedback from the community starting with FaceRig in 2014. The three people currently building Animaze have been pioneers in this space, and have been in service of this community for a very long time. Whether working on FaceRig or Animaze, the tech built by us and our former colleagues since 2014 has brought to life and inspired many features used across the VTubing world in many apps today.

A recent example is Multiplayer Rooms with high-quality full-body motion and filming camera controls, for avatar concerts. This is a feature that many VTubers still think does not yet exist for free anywhere in the world, (not even on apps powered by corporate engines), when it has been available here, on the free tier, starting with March 2023.

Aside from FaceRig, Animaze remains, as far as we know, the only indie-engine VTubing app worldwide that propelled some of its users who were using the included stock avatars, to millions of followers. Whether we are talking about Obit or MagLobao on YouTube, or PuffPuff on TikTok, we are proud of opening this path in a truly independent fashion, without the help of any large commercial game engine, and organically with no marketing help from talent management agencies.

If you are a long-time supporter, thank you!
If you are finding us now for the first time, we hope you will join us on this ride.
