How to trigger Special Actions and Poses specific to some avatars
Make sure you have Custom Actions Behaviour Enabled: Switch to Advanced UI from the upper menu > Open Avatars Dialog from the right menu > Behaviour tab > Enable Custom Actions switched ON.
Special Actions are custom animations made for an avatar and they are meant to animate multiple avatar features, to be more complex, such that when they are triggered the user has less control on the avatar. When the animation is finished, the user regains the control smoothly.
Special Poses are meant to be simple animations (with two states, ON and OFF) applied on a specific avatar feature.
This is the list of avatars supporting this feature:
Pewdiepie (Pewdieverse DLC) – (Special Actions 1,2,3) Q, W, E keys
Hatzi – (Special Pose 4) V key
Avatar Quick Save and quick load Slots
In order to facilitate easy swapping of frequently used avatars without having to open the interface, in FaceRig we have 10 Quick Save Slots (numbered from 1 to 9 and also 0) .
To save the current avatar configuration ( current avatar+ current background+ current props) in Quick Save Slot 1 , simply press Ctrl+Shift +1
To save another avatar configuration in Quick Save slot 2 , change the avatar/background then simply press Ctrl+Shift +2 and so on until 9.
To quick load an avatar configuration previously saved in quick slot 1, press Ctrl+1. To load the one saved in slot 2 press Ctrl+2, and the same for 3,3,4 etc.
This is especially useful if you are broadcasting and want to switch avatars mid-broadcast without opening the interface/avatar browser.
The quick save slots configuration does save at the same time with the overall program settings.
The quick save slots remember the avatar, the background, props and color customizations.
