Almost. Not quite enough. 2 female avatars… with no customization options. Can’t import my own characters either. Can’t import props. Does not record voice, rendering their statement of it being an all-in-one studio completely wrong. No way to to actually edit a shot’s length. Saving the final product only to Facebook or messenger?… seriously that’s it?
This app has a lot of potential, and they certainly created something that could become great. But right now, this app is not worth $30. They are close to having a killer app on their hands but it’s not quite there yet. Almost.
I hope the developers add more content to it soon.
Too much potential too little too do. Others have said it. It’s charming -for the first minute …then you discover what you can’t do.
The camera seems real to life somehow which is so cool. And specific hand gestures /character movement is great.
Issues: - not intuitive to switch between Menus even though setup is goood it works without accuracy which is frustrating - nothing in the store (and worse) no way to go import - more like a glorified viewer for the two 3d dolls
A good start. This has the potential of doing so much good for the VTuber scene. But it needs the 15 second time limit to be removed. Honestly, that's far too short anyway. Let us set the time limit to a maximum of 10 mins (preferably, no limit at all), even if we have to connect to a PC and let the PC do the rendering.
A character creator is essential. The novelty of looking down at my chest is great for a few seconds. But, that's worn off now. I'd like some male models too, please. With a full blown character creator (look at Reality for an example of a VTuber specific creator), I could recreate the models I already have in Reality and Vkatsu. This would be great, there's so much that could be done with recording decent vlogs in this software. Vkatsu struggles with that.
Can't wait for the Ryza DLC (there better be a barrel too!), but don't just leave this as a gimmick. Address the woefully short time limit and expand into the VTuber space. Do that, and I'd give 100 stars if I could, in addition to more money! If that's not possible with an Oculus native app, then put it on PC and support the Quest 1/2 via Oculus Link. I'd buy that software in a heartbeat.
[As an aside, I've learnt that reviews go into an endless submitting loop if you try to use a certain word starting with b]
30$ ? ? ?. This could have been great... But 30$ and all we get is two female actors and a few backgrounds? Not even the ability to draw or create our own? You don't even have the ability to post to social media from within the game. What the hell am I suppose to do with this?
It has GREAT potential but... Imagine my surprise when my first rendering didn't include my voice over. Nor does it. Nor is it really intended to. That's not the way animation is typically made. The script, the animation, then the voice over matches the script to the avatar spoken word. I imagine you could capture the audio as a separate stream using a separate device, and marry it up in your favorite pro content creator A/V suite of software... and that's where this app misses it's mark. 15 second vids, can be expanded. 2 initial characters, can be expanded. Ability to import your own models, avatars, and music, can be expanded. SO much great potential, and lots of youtube videos showing some of the developers works beyond what has been "developed and released" with this first version. Beta testing live perhaps. Good news, it works! Bad news, it doesn't record the 15 seconds of you speaking and sync it with the animation capture so you can one-stop create and post to youtube, facebook, tiktok, etc. Jeez, even to TRY putting something together, it seems the occulus only let's me share the rendered video via a facebook post or msg? Egads. Was giving it two stars, but now just one. Nah, that's harsh for such a great product with so much P O T E N T I A L, but this $30 buy feels more like a demo before you get the real version with a dozen anime style avatars, and the ability to record audio with your 15 second scenes when you hit that record button. I'll keep it two stars, just for the amazing potential. I'm going to get my refund now though. Maybe give it a few months or a year, and they'll get their product right for their target market: tweens and teens who want to make 15s shorts for tiktok et al... but don't want to have to learn to become an audio engineer and video editor in the process. Just one thing missing... one little thing... that makes or breaks this app, and not just for this dad, who's in the industry... but for kids and parents. Fun. Creative. But missing the mark completely here
First ever review! This app is life it helped me like crazy best app on oculus (app not game) i totally cant wait till more avatars come in! sending all my love to aniCast 🖤🖤🖤
