Prince Edward of House Pond has honored us by joining the FaceRig's avatar roster. Some say a curse from his dark past has turned him into a frog, while others claim he's just using that myth to steal kisses from beautiful maidens. Whatever the truth may be, Edward is here with his top hat and bubble blowing pipe to complete your storytelling arsenal.

Edward likes sharing his new props, so you can start using his Patched Hat, Tobacco Pipe and a Straw on any of your favorite Avatars.
For all the talented 2D artists, we've added support for idle animation on Live2D avatars. To add a new idle animation you need to modify cc_avatarname.cfg by adding set_idle_anim avatarName "animation.mtn", very similar to the set_special_action_anim command. Note that the .mtn file needs to reside in the Motions/ folder of the avatar.
There have been reports of some glitchy behavior on the web background, mainly some error pop-ups and the default website not loading at all. All issues are fixed now, if you want to try the web background, just search the Environmnent Gallery for the "Custom Background Web" and change the website that gets loaded by activating the Advanced UI > go to Environment Customization tab > Backdrop sub-tab and change the Custom Web Page option.
For all the entertaining streamers out there, we've made some optimizations that should cut some CPU usage. If you are wondering why the usage on the FaceRig process hasn't changed, it's because the UI process is the one that has been tweaked.
Have fun!
The FaceRig team
