Hello Awesome People :)

The FaceRig Steam Workshop is now live. It has two test-items on it, uploaded during the closed beta stage of the Workshop. They are: a copy of the Lava Baron, and Steve from Minecraft (fan-created) .

The FaceRig Workshop Utility Kit (allowing you to upload your creations to the Workshop) is now also live. Remember: It is as much a Beta as the main program :). You can find it and install it under Tools, called FaceRig Workshop Utility Kit Beta (which is a different tab than Games and Software). You can't really test it right until you have built some content for FaceRig though :).

You don't need it to use avatars created by others, that's only for uploading your creations to the Workshop.

Please keep in mind that if you do download/subscribe to items from the Workshop, upon first load the program will compile the workshop items to your personal datacache and that may take a while (it will happen without any action being needed from you under the loading screen, just like it does with any community created content).
Also, each time the owner of the item will update the item, if you set Steam to auto update the workshop items you are subscribed to, this recompile will happen again.

For now the Workshop is for free items only.

Known issue: All items currently list as having 0 size. The Steam interface will tell you that an item has finished downloading (but it fact is still downloading in the background, you just need to give it time). We are working with the Steam folks to figure out why this is happening.
