10 bucks says it's either a scam or too expensive to use once you can.

You can place a 5 buck pledge for a licence once it's finished.

There's nothing particularly complex about it, it's just essentially combining existing facial recognition algorithms with a simple renderer.

The real killer here is going to be the availability of a good selection of models for it.

Maybe we could hire H0rs3 to make models for it since he makes animations already...

Probably not; he's already stated that he will not sell his models

I'm glad that I funded this early. Huge potential.

Oh god, it's gonna be the next big way for furries to get it on. lol.

Sorry to be the irrelephant in the room but your profile photo is amazing!

The problem with it is through facial recognition, it has to be exaggerated a bit. Look how wide she has to open her mouth for it to work. The technology is there, but that's about it. Without some serious advances in technology, I do not see this taking off in any way.

Haha, thank you! :)

You might want to think on this one as you do know it's still in the early designs. Hence reason they are trying to get Kickstarters so they can fix it to be a good working program. Very few programs start out as golden pieces, but this is good demo to show what they are wortking too.

Logitech has had this for years. This looks a bit more sophisticated, but its been done before.

This is what I mean to those who have missed it completely I mean expensive to where a good amount of people can't afford to use it.

But it isn't. It's going to be about 10 to 20 dollars.

It will however be expensive for people who want to have a licence that lets them make money with it.

If anyone played torchlight 2, a red panda with goggles may remind you of the little enchanter dudes :P (Ponya, I believe they were called)

Looks like you have to exaggerate a bit, but it's pretty awesome
