I also initially aimed to use Blender 2.79, but the 2.79 version of the VRM Importer was mothballed. However, it turned out that instead of having its own VRM implementation, it relied on the VRM Importer too. I’m not sure if the VRM Importer has been retired, as repos are set to read-only, so I looked at CATS first.
I did the conversion with a combination of Blender 2.82, the VRM Importer plugin, and the CATS plugin. VRM is an extension of the glTF intermediary format with PNG textures, and Facerig expects the Collada (.dae) intermediary format with Targa (.tga) textures. The first stage is converting the files into the right format. After skimming the Facerig documentation and a Japanese attempt at CG Method of the same thing, I ended up not getting far at all. While I would still need to do a lot of conversion, I hypothesised that I could probably hack together a proof of concept. However, since Facerig predates the creation of any community standard, I didn’t know what was required to bring a VRoid model in.

It uses a commercially licensed solution instead of an open one, and it’s even capable of eye tracking, all with an old 480p webcam. It arguably remains as the best face tracking option in the field. With the next generation starting to emerge with VRoid and VRM facilitating easier character usage, I never got it until it was gifted to me recently. It’s a pretty inexpensive choice, but I couldn’t justify the purchase. It is a journal entry detailing my experiences with this subject, and is not meant to be complete or reliable.įacerig was one of the early options you could look at to become a Vtuber, and it actually predates the culture by an entire technology generation.
CONFIGURE FACERIG FOR NEW CAMERA HOW TO
To learn how to use VRoid properly, I encourage you to see my comprehensive Vtuber guide, or my abridged 3D Vtuber guide.ĭisclaimer: This is not a guide. However, the developers are now dropping support and are replacing it with Animaze, which claims to fix Facerig’s problems. Vtubers have never used Facerig seriously. It’s already not worth trying, for the reasons detailed below.
