What is Animaze?

Like FaceRig, Animaze makes it easy to stream, video chat, and record videos as awesome avatars. Thanks to years of R&D (and thoughtful feedback from you), Animaze brings major improvements to every core aspect of FaceRig. Face tracking, animation, and graphics have all been completely redesigned to deliver more expressive avatars than ever before!

We want Animaze to be accessible to everyone. That’s why Animaze will be free to download and use with optional subscriptions for premium features. There will also be in-app currency to spend on new avatars, props, and backgrounds. You can use Animaze for free forever; it is not a ‘trial’ and access never expires. If you decide to subscribe, the cost will be affordable: a few dollars per month for most folks, or a little bit more for professional content creators. If you already own FaceRig, you’ll automatically receive a discount on any Animaze subscription you decide to purchase.

Plus - when Animaze launches on Steam, FaceRig owners will get all sorts of special rewards, including exclusive props, free avatars, and discounts!

What will Happen to FaceRig?

If you own a copy of FaceRig, you can continue using it without interruption in perpetuity. This applies to all copies of FaceRig - whether you obtained it through Steam, a Steam key reseller like Humble Bundle/Fanatical, or directly from Holotech via our website. It includes all versions of FaceRig (Classic & Studio), as well as all DLC content and upgrades (e.g. Live2D module, FaceRig Pro, avatar packs). Our number one priority is to do right by you in this process. Many of you have supported us since the very beginning of our journey, and we want you to be able to continue using FaceRig for as long as you want to, regardless of whether you decide to check out Animaze.

That said, FaceRig will not receive any additional feature/content updates or bug fixes; the current version of FaceRig is its final form. When we release Animaze, we will remove all versions of FaceRig, including upgrades & DLC packs, from sale everywhere. The Facerig Steam Forums and Steam Workshop will continue to function as normal. As we shift our focus to Animaze, our support priorities have to change too. When Animaze launches, we will no longer be able to provide customer support for issues relating to FaceRig. If you run into issues with FaceRig, we recommend you check our FAQs, Steam Forums, and Discord channel for help.

Please Note: You will still be able to re-download FaceRig if you uninstall it or would like to download FaceRig to a new device. If you acquired FaceRig through Steam, either directly or through a code or gift, simply re-download it via your Steam library. If you purchased FaceRig directly from our website, email us at [e-mail] and we can help you regain access.

Have Additional Questions?

We have a lot of answers! For detailed information check out our full announcement on our new website[www.animaze.us] and join our Discord server[animaze.tv] to chat with us directly! You can always email us at [e-mail].

Your Friends,
The FaceRig/Animaze Team

[Mhmmm]

Could you estimate how much time do we have to buy the remaining DLCs for FaceRig??

[MrWoodenSheep]

Making Facerig DLCs free for existing owners would actually be a really cool move. Looking forward to the new app :)

[KiriaSilverbow]

so how much more is animaze going to cost us riggers if we want to update to it or will you be giving us a discount to do so if we currently own facerig?

[AKA_Beest]

Will there be some VRM support in this new app? I am very disappointed because you didn't support such a popular format in FaceRig.

[I WANT COFFEE!]

Thanks for everything dev.

[I WANT COFFEE!]

You could also put an option to buy all DLCs together, at a discount. like other apps do

[Ln.Ris]

We will have a final sale ?

[Peta]

They plan to put facerig on discount before removing it from the store?

[gfw2012]

Final discount? A complete bundle (complete the set) is better.

[gfw2012]

Will free edition and pro edition remove too?

Please leave the DLC up!

It figures that I would buy software for the purpose of it being non-sub, start using it to find out that it is super buggy and doesnt work very well, but the developers did create a fix for it...

well... except... its another program...

Instead of patching their current software they create a new one, and put out a 20% discount (baiting people - as I got marketing emails for it) so, what I just paid is useless because now I would need a subscription for those features in the new version...

what a scam
