Animaze lets people appear as a character instead of themselves. It uses a webcam to track your face and, with some setups, your body and hands, then moves an avatar to match. The result is delivered through a virtual camera, so it shows up in OBS, Zoom, Teams, Discord, and other apps.
Users can pick from a library of avatars, import custom models, or create their own, and add props, backgrounds, and effects. Streamers and VTubers use it to build an on-screen persona, while others use it for presentations, teaching, or just privacy on calls. Support for expressions and triggers allows more lively performances.
Animaze offers a free version with limits and paid plans or purchases for more avatars and features. Tracking quality depends on camera and lighting, and custom avatars require some skill in creating models. Alternatives include VSeeFace, VTube Studio, Warudo, Snap Camera (now discontinued), and Character Animator from Adobe. Animaze suits streamers and creators who want an animated persona.
