Successor of Open Avatarify, written in C++.

Getting started

Dependencies

• Qt
• Download online installer

• Run the installer and on the Select Components page select these components:

  • Qt -> Qt 5.15.2. Deselect all components except MSVC 2019 64bit to save disk space
  • Qt -> Developer and Designer Tools -> OpenSSL 1.1.1d Toolkit

• libtorch. Library for NN inference. Download library here: https://pytorch.org/ (Stable; Windows; C++/Java; 10.2/None). Direct links: release, debug. Extract files to

  • Release: C:\SDKs\libtorch-win-shared-with-deps-1.6.0
  • Debug: C:\SDKs\libtorch-win-shared-with-deps-debug-1.6.0
    Make sure path C:\SDKs\libtorch-win-shared-with-deps-1.6.0\lib (for release) is correct. Remove extra sub-directories if necessary.

Build project

• Check that you have libtorch at C:\SDKs\

git clone https://github.com/vlivashkin/avatarify-desktop
cd avatarify-desktop
git submodule update --init --recursive

• Build the project with Qt Creator. Choose MSVC 2019 64-bit kit and Release configuration.
• Download additional files from here and unpack to C:\Users\[user]\.avatarify. This folder has the following structure:
• .avatarify\avatars: avatar pictures
• .avatarify\models: FOMM and landmark detector model weights
• Download AkVirtualCamera.plugin from here and unpack to [build]/avatarify. Avatarify will register еру plugin on the first run.

How to build installer

(not very clean solution, but at least it works)

• Build release solution
• Call make install in cmake-build-release folder. Clean installation files will be located in C:\Program Files\Avatarify
• Compress folder with 7z and put it in avatarify-desktop\installer\packages\com.avatarify.desktop\data folder
• You need to make similar archives for models and avatars from C:\Users\[user]\.avatarify and put them to com.avatarify.desktop.models and com.avatarify.desktop.avatars folders
• Run avatarify-desktop\installer\package_for_windows.bat
