About the Product
OBScenery FX was created as a platform to support any number of scene enhancements during video broadcasting and as the name implies, it relies on OBS (Open Broadcaster Software)... you can learn more about it on our Platform Prerequisites page. It is in very early development so there are only a few modules available, but the only limitation is your imagination

Contact support@obsceneryfx.com for inquiries/ideasThe platform has been designed to work with any video broadcasting platform, but the first implementation has been done for Chaturbate where a small number of performers have already started using custom-made technology for scene enhancement
Because we've designed this system for modular development, we can quickly create new components... so stay tuned for more exciting elements to add to your broadcast!
It comes with a user-definable preferences screen that allows the broadcaster to fine-tine the behavior of each of the elements during a live broadcast
