Self-proclaimed life coach, personal trainer and crypto investor on the side, Zee-Bruh is here to take the city by storm.

Half man half horse, and 100% new avatar.

Half horse, half man, and 100% thief of hearts.
A new avatar joins the Holotech Originals roster.

You will find him available in several flavors:
- head-only mode if you want to pretend to be a normal horse, or
- full body, with human mannequin support,
... each with and without a horse mane (so you can go crazy with wigs or hats).

The song in the announcement trailer is used with official permission from OCT Music.

We have also spruced up some of the persona hairs and released them as individual props in the hat category, a horse with a bowl cut was just too funny. You can experiment with various wigs on most characters now.


Will you use his charisma to build your online empire, rivaling or even surpassing the likes of PuffPuff, TheOneManny, Obit or MagLobao?
You decide!

Available on both Windows PC and iOS.
If you use iPhone tracking, we recommend you test him with direct mapping settings on.

Reindeer antlers prop and a new Christmas backdrop!

Hello Awesome People!

A reindeer antlers hat prop and a Christmas backdrop with blinking lights have joined the ready-made Animaze live service asset pool, just in time for any Christmas-themed streams you might want to do later today or tomorrow.



You can find them quickly by searching for "antlers" or "Christmas" in the hat browser or backdrop browser.

Thank you for supporting indie VTubing engine alternatives, and a very Merry Christmas to everyone celebrating from the Animaze team (Dragos, Alex, and Catalin).

Availability for historical Animaze versions older than one year (22 and 23)

Hello Awesome People!


To make development and updates more manageable, the really old versions of Animaze from back in 2022 and 2023 will no longer be available for purchase beyond Nov 30, 2024.

The present-day Animaze live service and the Animaze 2024 DLCs do functionally everything that Animaze 2022 and 2023 did (and a lot more), so for most people, this news is probably not that interesting.
However there are always some nostalgic people who insist that "old version was better". If you are prone to nostalgia and you don't have those historical snapshots but you want them (to access the previous Visage tracker or previous Criware lipsync), please make sure you buy them before they go away at the end of November (in a few days).

Post that date, the Animaze Live Service version, and the 2024 Animaze historical version DLCs (2024 Plus and 2024 Pro) will be the only versions of Animaze available.

Naturally, the old Animaze 2022 and 2023 will continue to work (ideally in perpetuity), just that new copies of them will no longer be sold past November 30, 2024, as the legal license agreements for certain technologies used in them come to an end, and they are not being renewed.
