Since FaceRig’s release in 2015, there have been tremendous advances in avatar embodiment. Over time, it became evident that, to keep up with the industry, we could no longer rely on a generic third-party engine, and  it was time to build our own engine specifically for avatar-based communication. Building an engine from scratch is a tall order and requires the focus of our small team. Simply put, we do not have the bandwidth to support two PC products. 

With Animaze, expect more cutting-edge technologies, more exciting partnerships, and a best-in-class avatar experience. As a team, we are excited to push the boundaries of Avatar Based Communication by pouring our entire focus into Animaze. However, we know for some of you, Animaze will never replace FaceRig. Not to worry, if you own FaceRig, you can continue to use it forever.
