How to Use a Beauty Filter in OBS

Introduction In this tutorial, we will learn how to use a beauty filter in OBS to enhance your appearance during livestreams or video recordings. By following the steps outlined here, you can easily transform your camera feed from "fugly to just regular ugly" without relying on third-party applications. We will cover the setup process, downloading the necessary script, applying filters, adjusting skin colors, and fine-tuning the settings to achieve optimal results.

Setting up OBS and Webcam First, you need to have OBS (Open Broadcaster Software) installed on your computer. If you haven't done so already, download and install the latest version from the official OBS website. Once OBS is installed, connect your webcam to your computer and make sure it is recognized. You can rename the webcam source as "cam" or keep it as the default "video capture device" for simplicity.

Downloading and Installing the Beauty Filter Script To add a beauty filter to OBS, you need to download and install a Lua script. This script enables the deep blemish filter that will enhance your appearance. In the description of this tutorial, you will find a link to the script. Click on the link to download the script as a zip file. After downloading, locate the file in your downloads folder and extract it. You should now have a Lua file.

Adding the Beauty Filter Script to OBS To add the beauty filter script to OBS, first, navigate to your OBS program files. Go to "Program Files/OBS Studio/data/OBS/plugins/frontend-tools/scripts". Copy the Lua file that you extracted earlier and paste it into this location. This action will make the script available in OBS.

Adjusting the Skin Color Mask With the beauty filter script added, we can now apply filters to enhance our appearance. Right-click on the webcam source in OBS and select "Filters". In the Filters menu, click on the plus sign to add a new filter and choose "Deep Blemish" from the options. Feel free to rename the filter to "Beauty Filter" for easier identification.

Fine-tuning the Filter Settings Once the deep blemish filter is added, you will notice various filter settings that can be customized to suit your preferences. The first step is to select a skin color to use as the filter. To do this, click on the "Select Color" button and choose a color that matches your skin tone. Experiment with different colors to find the one that works best for you.

Applying the Deep Blemish Filter To visualize the effects of the filter, click on the "Show Mask" option. This will display a small screen showing the white and black portions of the filter. The goal is to make your face appear white while leaving the rest of the screen black. Adjust the filter settings, such as softening and mask clipping, to achieve the desired effect.

Using the Color Replace Feature The color replace feature allows you to add your skin tone back to the filtered image, reducing the appearance of redness or other imperfections. Experiment with the color replace settings to find the right balance. Be cautious not to overdo it, as it may result in an unnatural appearance.

Comparing Before and After Once you have fine-tuned the filter settings, uncheck the "Show Mask" option to see the final result. You can compare the before and after images to appreciate the difference the beauty filter makes. Keep in mind that the filter should enhance your appearance without completely altering it.
