Hi, community.
After 7 long years since I came to know and use FaceRig, one of the biggest challenges I've found most of the users have is the User Guide. I know it is a very frustrating experience to open that pdf and most of the time you have no idea what you need to do to create your own models, textures, effects or custom config trigger files.

I know because I was one of those 3d artists but didn't know how to pilot the software properly. I emailed the Holotech Studios' support team many times, barely scratching the surface on the potential of the software. I bought the expansion pack for characters for Android with the Live2D characters back in 2015. I was so happy when those companies made partners for the first time.

After I've tried all other streamming Avatar softwares, I decided to review the User Guide to see if I can -for the last time- make sense out of it. We needed a 2021 update on the user guide for FaceRig, and I am putting all hard effort to rewrite it.

The Official Discord channel for Animaze (I was a beta tester back in 2019) and FaceRig, mentioned that they would be happy to reference the link I will be providing in the next days for everyone to read in a clear and easy terminology what FaceRig requires to ingest your 3D models, actions and more.

I've been a Blender Foundation Certified Trainer for the past 4 years and it's a great experience to show how artists with experience in other softwares relate to Blender quickly because the methods I use to describe workflows. That being said, most of the 3D artists will find this new 2021 FaceRig guide, easy to follow and apply the concepts needed to continue to use what I think opened the Streaming era back in 2015: FaceRig.

Let me know if you have requests or thoughts for this guide.
Thank you.
Pîerre.
