hello everyone and welcome back to animesbyfacerig how much fun could you have joining a meeting
or a video conference as donald trump you probably could have some fun and i'm going
to show you how to do it so for this video our tool of choice for video conferencing
is going to be google meat so this is how to use animes with google meat
maze is available on steam and is the successor to the very successful face rig program which
also replaced your face with that of a comedy or animated avatar face rig is free to use and as a
result of which you can get in there straight away if you are a face rig owner then there is
currently a discount that will be available to animes users off subscription services
so inject a little bit of fun into your meetings or your distance learning if you're in school and
having distance learning classes so animes by face rig can do this with a multitude of uh meeting
programs such as microsoft teams google meet cisco webex cisco webex teams the list goes on
blue jeans um but how do you do it so with animes you get a number of avatars some avatars you have
to pay for some avatars come free so how do you configure your avatar with size on the screen
props and things like that where you can inject a little bit of fun into your meetings so at the
beginning what we said was we would set our avatar for donald trump donald trump is a paid avatar for
399 coins uh and you can buy coins by clicking on that item there's obviously a subscription as well
you can buy coin packs and there's a subscription and dollar amount there as well
to supercharge your experience but enough of that i've already bought the donald trump avatar there
it is we're going to select that you click on confirm and then animate loads that character in
here it comes and there he is um a caricature or avatar of donald trump and certainly no disrespect
is made uh or intended so here we go uh we've confirmed that let's close that down we can see
that my face is being tracked with the dots around my jawline around my mouth
my nose and my eyes as well so that's exactly what the computer is seeing if for any reason you're
having problems and the avatar is not operating as normal click on calibrate or press ctrl and c
clicking on calibrate brings up this screen again it's picking up the dots around my facial features
look directly at your webcam or ios device click calibrate
neutral expression good calibration and your avatar should resolve any issues that it has now
with your mouse if using this on a pc you can use the mouse wheel to enlarge or shrink your avatar
okay now you can also hold the shift key down and move around a background if it's an animated
background holding the control key down you can rotate your avatar as well there we have the back
of the avatar's head you scroll it up make it larger but not too large
a bit of a scary thought let's move it to that's a decent size i think and there's our avatar to the
side and you can rotate it a little bit more you can also move him uh by right clicking the mouse
and holding the control key down to different sides of the screen okay great so let's put a prop
on our avatar's head there we go we've got our prop click on props and there's a range of props
that the face rig and animes team have included so you know you could have um for example a jester's
hat you could have a crown a cowboy hat uh even a beer hat as well now if these don't fit your
avatar just right then select one perhaps that that might well do there's a winged helmet uh that
doesn't really fit our avatar well but hey the headphones actually do so selecting the headphones
there we go uh what we want to do is now size them perfectly for our avatar so there's our
avatar right clicking on advanced you can move them around different positioning if they're
not quite right you know on the model again you can do the sizing as well move them backwards or
forwards along the x-axis that might fit a little bit better and not detract really from what you
want which is basically your avatar's mouth okay so that basically was how to change your avatar
put a prop on its head and make yourself look like donald trump in a meeting but how do you get this
into a meeting program of choice well i'll show you it's all about this button at the bottom here
called broadcast last button will allow you to send this image to a meeting package of choice
like google meet for example zoom you know the list goes on cisco webex blue jeans microsoft
teams the broadcast function think of it this way you have your webcam you have your meeting
application anime sits in the middle so the fix so we have to have the input as we can see here
as you can see my real life input on the left hand side of the screen will then go into animes then
get translated to the avatar of choice in this case we've got um a caricature of of a gentleman
and then that will then get sent to the meeting program as a result then you have
to press the broadcast button once you start broadcasting you get a countdown of 90 minutes
there you go and then that will then go into your meeting application of choice
a lot of people forget this step and it's imperative to be broadcasting else you'll
get a black screen in your meeting application as well so here we are in our meeting application of
choice which happens to be google meet so we're going to take our animate avatar and use it
in a google meet meeting couldn't be easier we can do it a couple of ways
look at the cog top right hand side the settings bring that up look at video
use the down arrow button and look for anime's virtual camera now you can see i've
got a couple of cameras in there because i've been doing different products on the meeting
applications but animes virtual camera is what you want select that that camera will say it's
starting then you want to go into our animes desktop and make sure you're broadcasting
select broadcast you'll see the 90 90 minute countdown timer
is going to be there all right you need to calibrate
now the time to calibrate look directly into the center of the screen click calibrate
you're done you're broadcasting right back into google meet and you can see
that where my face should be i've got my fox i've got my animes avatar you can close that down
let's go to new meeting start an instant meeting everything starts we've set our settings
and there we are now google meet recently released a feature where you could change the background
much like zoom and other products without using a third-party application as a result of which you
can get some varying effects as well depending on what you're doing now this is my background that
i've used on animes all right that's come through or i can use some of the backgrounds as well
that come through with google meet or some of the backgrounds that i can use from enemies so i can
put our fox for example i don't know in a field that's where foxes are right they're in fields
so couldn't be easier than that what you see in animes is translated to what we see
in google meet you can join your meeting and away you go start your camera and then when your camera
starts it'll translate and it'll show you exactly what's going on from animes and here you have it
there you go couldn't be easier now to stop this it's a little bit more complicated so if you're
getting some grief for example uh your colleagues don't like it you're getting told off by your
teacher don't worry turn off your camera all right then you go to the three dots more options at the
bottom settings go to video select your web camera in which case then the microsoft live camera
go to animes stop broadcasting
okay you may have to close the anime's application down so we'll do that just to be sure
and then once satisfied you should be able to turn your camera back on and it show your web
camera feed this is because nothing else should be using your webcam there you go we see that
chrome my my norton lifelock is accessing it and there i am on screen with my background my busy
background blurred so that's how you put it on and that's how you take it off that's how you use
animes that's how you stop using animes and go back to your standard webcam within google meet
so what have we seen in this meeting we've seen how to select an avatar from that avatar
we've then put a prop on them we've then changed avatars we've changed backgrounds and we've put
all of that into a popular video conferencing tool that i'm sure we've all used sometime
google meet and that's how you use animes with google meet thanks very much for watching like
and subscribe if you haven't done so uh check out for more videos in this series not only on animes
we've got old videos on face rig as well and how to have other fun with these sets of tools
with other video conferencing applications thanks for watching see you soon
