Neither the WineHQ AppDB nor ProtonDB seem to have any entries as to their usage on Linux, so perhaps it hasn't been attempted with frequency. If there aren't any suitable alternatives, then I suppose the use of WINE and/or Proton would seem to be the next step. Anyone familiar with Linux native programs that may be suitable? In theory, if there was an alternative to FaceRig that could also import and use Live2D created assets (which seem to be the gold standard), it could do the job but I don't really see anything comparable that lists Linux support. As far as I am aware, Facerig itself is Windows only and Live2D's Cubism3 editor is Win/Mac, but does seem to have some open source SDKs and formats. With all this in mind, I was wondering about Linux usage. From the research I've done, it takes an artist to create a custom character "rig" as it were if you want to use such an avatatar and prices can be significant in line with complexity. Likewise, here's one used with a pretty complex motions - (female voice) and here's a simple one used as an avatar during game streaming - (male voice). Here's an example of one of the relatively rare male-character demos, so you can get an idea. The greatest popularity is in Japanese and many choose to use "cute" female avatars (Audio wise it seems prevalent among female users as well, but I would not at all be surprised if some of them were males using a voice-changer to better fit the character). Now FaceRig is mostly used for 3D animated characters, but there is a popular plugin for it that allows content created to Live2D () standards to be used as well, giving those same expressions, movements and whatnot to a 2D anime styled avatar.īe it using this combination of software or perhaps some other, there is a community of so called "VTubers" that stream and record their gameplay alongside these avatars. To my knowledge the most popular ways to create this effect are to use something like Facerig ( ) which allows real time expression mapping, movement and other features onto a virtual character and broadcast this as a virtual webcam of sorts. Most are familiar with the webcam presence that many broadcast during streaming, but in lieu of that I've considered the use of a virtual avatar instead. As I've been requested to start streaming gaming and other content online via Twitch and/or other live/video streaming services, I've looked into the feasibility thereof but have run into a snag and think perhaps the community may have some advice. I cannot recommend this software to anyone.Hello everyone. ![]() But I can only come up with two explanations for what I see - either enough staggering incompetence that I cannot trust the software at all, or active malice and an intentional attempt to deceive people into paying much more than they expect. I prefer to give people the benefit of the doubt. However, as previously established, this was far too easy for me to read as ~38 NZD, which is basically the same as 60 NZD.Īll this is ignoring the second option on the list, which for reasons I cannot fathom is listed in AED (UAE Dirham). Great, a one-off payment - I want that one! And there's bright purple boxes claiming it's 35% off! It lists the original price in small crossed-out numbers as 60 NZD, and in big numbers it gives 37.99 USD. It is then reasonable to assume that the prices on the rest of the page are in NZD, so my mind begins filling in the blanks. The big number next to that reads "6 NZD / mo". The first option on this page is "Quarterly Plan", which is a subscription paid every 3 months. You get presented with a "choose your plan" page. And indeed, I would not have noticed the issue if it weren't for my habit of double-checking prices when I get to the billing page. However, the structure of the page makes it easy for me - living in NZ - to read it as 37.99 NZD (37.99 USD = ~57.15 NZD). Technically, the page does CLAIM that the lifetime license is 37.99 USD, which indeed it is. Nevertheless, I decided to install and check out the pricing anyway. ![]() I would be happy to pay for pro, but that process is bad enough that I will not be giving Voicemod any money.įor starters, pricing information is only available after installing the software. There doesn't seem like much point in the free option.
