▼FAQ
How do I start creating my 3D avatar?
We have preset 3D models which you can start with.
Select "Customize" from the main menu, and you can choose from a wide variety of body shapes, body parts, clothes, and accessories to customize.
You can also specifically change the color, size, and other details.
How to stream through the app?
With the “screen capture function” you can stream on the Niconico live app.
You can move the 3D model as your own avatar. Select “Tracking” on the main menu, select your 3D model, background and setting lip sync and flicks.
In this mode, the camera and microphone sensors detect the facial expressions and voice to move the 3D model. With a flick of the mouse, you can make the model move in various poses and expressions.
Are there any differences in app performance between different devices and their models?
Eye opening/closing recognition and AR in tracking mode are only available on iPhone X and above. On iPhone 8, 7, and Android, only the position of the face will be recognized.
