Facerig vs facerig pro?

[꧁<̴Iитєrnєт KIllєd Тнє TV Ѕтαr☆]

What is the difference between FaceRig for $9.99
and the $43.33 FaceRig Pro Upgrade? Is the upgrade just new masks like cats, dragons ect? or does it do something else? What makes pro worth 30 dollars moar than 10 bucks?

Can someone explain whats the difference?

[FurRiffic]

On the technical side there are no differences, Classic has exactly the same avatars, props, features as Pro, except for two things:

• It has "pro" in the FaceRig logo that appears around the program
  
• You are allowed to make more than the equivalent of $500/month with it.

(One extra reason some people buy it btw, is just to support the developers *link*)

For more info about the exact rules about monetization, I will point you to the EULA, especially section 6a and b:
(EULA can be found on the steam store page or here: http://store.steampowered.com/eula/274920_eula_1 )

If you use FaceRig in for example video's on youtube with advertisements or on Twitch with advertisements or subscription, you can make money with it. Of the total average per month is below $500, you can use Classic, if it is above, you need to buy the Pro upgrade.

and how would you find out this infomation if a user made more than that ammount per month?

[spaceyy_mars]

Hold on so if u buy regular its 10.00 a month or however much it is? Or is it 1 time payment? So confused.

[Holotech Studios]

One time payment, is not per month.
In Early access is 10 USD. Once that ends ( in a few hours) it will be 15.

[T-rex87]

how do you use facerig on webcam while streaming games from steam?

There are no technical differences between FaceRig classic and the Pro DLC.

FaceRig Pro is used by content creators (streamers/twitch broadcasters/youtube channels) who make more than $500 a month from the channel the content is being featured on.

If you make less than $500, you can safely stream with FaceRig Classic.

The methods that we use to verify this are not made public.

That seems sketchy as heck. If your gonna sell a product at least be honest in your methods to collect info.

This is actually very common, for example Facebook, Microsoft, Apple, Steam etc.etc. all collect data over you and your usage, but do they make public what exactly and how? No. (Or at least not easily findable)

Thats not the same thing. Facebook, and Steam are its own websites that collect info from its users that sign up for it. This however is a downloadable program that ppl can use, however isnt connected to websites like youtube or other video sharing sites. So to sit here and to suggest that the devs have ways in finding out infomation (that isnt even linked to this game or program its sold on), sounds very skecthy if they are not going to tell ppl how they are doing this.

And now you are filtering out Facebook and Steam, but what about Microsoft and Apple? Also, with the download / installation of the program, you agree to the EULA, which, in section 2a says the following:

And now a quote from the microsoft EULA:

Originally posted by Microsoft EULA:

And the apple EULA:

Originally posted by Apple EULA:

Seems familiar?

In summary:
Don't want your info collected by Holotech? Don't use the program.
Do you want to use the program? Keep to the rules and the data collected will be only visible to them and destroyed when no longer needed.


(Also a note: I'm not a part of Holotech Studios, I'm only a person helping out on the forums voluntairaly)
