hello and welcome back animate is a tool available on steam
that can take your face use facial tracking and replace it with that of an avatar
what we're going to do today is see how to get this avatar into streamlabs obs
so here i am in streamlabs obs standard windows you're
familiar with streamlabs obs you know exactly where i am i'm going to create
a new folder over here called animes and then that i'm going to add a new source this source
is going to be a video capture device clicking on that it'll prompt you and tell you that it's a
built-in webcam logitech webcam capture cards that sort of thing that's what i want i'm going to add
that as a source at this point though however what i'm going to do is i'm going to add a new source
instead and you can see it's picked up you can see me so we know the webcam is working
so we're going to click add a new source i'm going to call this video capture device
number one but i rename it animes webcam okay and we're going to add that sauce
that pops over in the sauce section it's going to create that sauce and all the items for this
particular facet of obs so here we are and we've got our webcam running we've got our animes
section we've got our video source called anime's webcam now i haven't got animes running yet
and i'll tell you why because you sometimes get a conflict between video feeds so what i'm going to
do with this feed setup and we're convinced and we can see that this is all working i'm now going to
turn it to the animate virtual camera right there you go anime's virtual camera there it is and
then i'm going to select done now the picture is going to freeze and that is going to be expected
once that sorts itself out right you'll see that i've got one of the last avatars
that i've put on the screen in this case it's donald trump that doesn't really matter we're
going to click done and then what we're going to do is we're going to load up enemies from steam
appearing to launch and all that so now with the anime software loaded it's time to select my
avatar and i might as well just keep this one just for demonstration purposes and select broadcast
i'm not going to put anything on there like props or anything like that or change the voice um
so what i'm going to do is i'm going to select broadcast so now i'm broadcasting so what i can do
i mean yes you can use all your um your animations as well right um should you want to and it's a
list of animations that will pop up when you say you want to use them that's great but as you can
see whatever i do in animes is reflected in the obs studio okay so so far so good we've got the
anime's avatar into obs blinding let's minimize um animes what we can do as well is size the window
and there it is there's my feed inside streamlabs obs now i might not want all of this um messing
about going on here when i say messing about all the background and that sort of stuff
well that's perfectly fine i can pop into animes i can click on backgrounds
let's expand it here's my backgrounds pop-up let's click on green screen and confirm
now i've got my green screen which is great um that should be reflected in stream labs obs
no problems let's add in a feed for um game capture let's add game capture in add source
i'll use that existing source now we did create a new one add source um
make sure our webcam is ahead of the game capture great and then what we can do from
this point is go into the animes webcam source that we've created into properties
check all our settings right we're happy with that because you may want to you know
mess about with the color range and things like that but typically that's how it is click cancel
next up we're going to right click we're going to select filters
see there's currently no filters applied hit plus
we're going to go down to chroma key
done and you can see it's taken out a lot of the green on this particular avatar okay which is
quite good and you can go with the color spill um and try and mess around with that to get a better
there you go that's not so bad on the face but you can see the avatar's got a bit of
that's not bad there so my settings are there really for similarities 124. okay click on done
and there you are i've got my little avatar down there uh that's looking great um there you have it
so all i gotta do now i'll load up the game any old game and you'll see the
avatar overlaid on the background of the game so i think we're gonna go for i don't know um
we'll pick a game at random okay and there you have it elite dangerous is up and running
i've got my uh spooky avatar the count uh on there superimposed uh with the animes
green screen if we check back and check out animes there you can see that's what's
actually happening in the background if you get any problems with tracking click on calibrate
and then it should track your face a bit better i've gone for the green screen
and i'm also broadcasting with all that going on then pop back into stream labs you can see
i've removed the background by using a filter we went through creating a filter as well just now
and that's for the most part um for the most part remove the green you gotta do
a little bit of tweaking but hey not to worry and there you've got elite dangerous running in
the background and if i can say for example um let's continue that pop onto solo play and then
go into stream labs you can see exactly what's going on and i'm moving my head from left to right
there you have it so not so shabby eh not so bad hope you've enjoyed the video check out animes
currently free on steam some things you do have to pay for as well and there's a subscription service
but i'm thoroughly impressed with it so far as well more tweaks apparently are coming and
there's also an anime's roadmap which you can check out as well if you join the twitter pages
and all those sort of sites as well thanks very much for watching see you soon have fun
you
