Any number of blinks can be set.

・Lip sync (口パクパーツ)
Part of the mouth movement used when speaking.
First frame is displayed, but only texts that are set to talk will be animated.
You can set any number of these.


When creating face graphics as pictures, keep the following in mind.

・Match the size of the height and width.
Only square size is supported.
If you're using vertical or horizontal face graphics, make sure they're square.

・Blink and mouth movement images should be aligned with the main image.
If you don't align it, the display are misaligned.




If the eye and mouth parts don't overlap, even a rough cutout like this will display properly.
Looks easier this way.


Arrange them vertically by expression to complete the face graphics for face chat.


After you created the pictures, put in the information into the plugin.
Enter "Eye Anim Num" for blinking and "Mouse Anim Num" for mouth movement.


Enter the number of pixels for face graphic in the "Face size" field.


This concludes how to Use Face Chat System.
