Audio2Face 2022.2 Release Highlights#
For Audio2Face 2022.2, we focused on process efficiency and platform support. First, we have introduced a headless mode coupled with a new REST API to further power and simplify the export and processing of large quantities of facial performances. In addition, A2F has been updated to run on Kit 104.1, bringing with it core functionality and rendering improvements. We’re also excited to announce that full Linux Support has now been introduced! Beyond those changes, there are many bug fixes and quality of life improvements to tools found within the A2F application.
