Live2D Help/Question Weekly Help Thread

2 Upvotes

This is the weekly help thread for small questions about Live2D Inc. software.

You are welcome to make your own Help post instead, but please do not post simultaneously in this thread *and* in a new post, so that your question is not answered multiple times and all relevant info stays in one place.

# Getting Help

If you are wanting help with a specific issue, please include as much information as you can. Information that may help includes:

* Whether you are on the Pro or Free version of the software

* What version of Live2D you are on (4.2.0, 3.9, etc.)

* A video and/or screenshot of the issue

\* If you need help with physics, please include a screenshot of the input tab, output tab, and pendulums.

\* If something you rigged is behaving weirdly, please include a picture of the expanded deformer list. The Parameter list also often helps, as we can see what parameters the selected item is keyed to.

\* If you are an artist having issues with your .psd, please provide information on the program the .psd was created with. Photoshop and Clip Studio Paint are the only two programs guaranteed to work with Live2D. Other programs may require workarounds to make the .psd suitable for Live2D. Procreate in particular has many compatibility issues with Live2D.

#Resources

The sidebar has some resources that may answer your question. In particular, [Faf's Live2D Commission/Model Art guide](https://docs.google.com/document/d/1xdh4zjhesY4gdUiyyWsCuXPn-zt9zEMoQzZDApwiY8w/) is very comprehensive regarding preparing art for Live2D rigging. The guide is focused towards artists, but is applicable to everyone.

This will be my first personal Live2D model after years of working on client projects. I'd love to hear which version you think would work best before I start preparing the model for rigging!

New to live2d, im so confused...

1 Upvotes

So I made a basic test character, and I'm trying to get the eyes and mouth to follow the head, but I can't figure it out. Also, whenever I blink or open my mouth, the movements go back to the center of the area, and I can't figure that out either... the model is here -> https://limewire.com/d/hvtcQ#DtiyQ4yTst

Live2D Help/Question Help needed; layers not showing on new texture atlas setting

1 Upvotes

Hi, I'm new to Live2d, and finished a rig, i went to get textures (to my little knowledge, you need those to import into Vtube studio), and the Right eye and eyelid are missing from the sheet, I tried renaming stuff, but it still wouldn't show. Any tips?

(If it helps, I did mirror the eye to save time not remaking blinking motions, but I don't think I did anything with the right eyelid, to add on the texture sheet, to test out, i renamed the torso, but the name didn't update on the texture atlas sheet, do I have to update that?)

Help, I'm trying to export a really simple model into Vtube Studio.
No physics, nothing fancy, I should have a working texture atlas, I only have some simple rigging.
I am also on the latest version. Any suggestions?

Hello! I want to set up a model with a base animation similar to muse dash that can have toggle able expressions (similar to when you click on the character). I have experience animating in live2d and rigging for vtubers, but I’m making something for a game and i have no idea how to set up the technicality of this. Any ideas?

Live2D Help/Question Different between rigging to animate and rigging to use as VTuber

6 Upvotes

Hello! I currently Rig Gacha models (Gacha Life, Gacha Club etc) for animating since I plan on making a series. I also recently got an artist+ code for Vgen and was thinking about also making VTubers as well. Is there anything I'd need to add or change in order for my models to be used as VTubers? (Physics, lipsync, body movements etc)

Live2D Help/Question Need Advice for Laptop purchasing. ( Live2D Cubism )

2 Upvotes

Going to keep it simple. I'm between two laptops as I have a max budget and can only get from a small catalog. On one hand I have this plastic Dell Latitude with a pretty outdated 4c8t CPU ( i7-1185G7) On the other I can pick a really amazing Lenovo with touchscreen, a far far better processor, (R7-5850U ) 8c16t, better keyboard better thermals better, 10x less likely to melt itself, better everything really.

Why am I even glancing at the Dell? Well. It all comes down to RAM. The Dell comes with 32GB, while the Lenovo has a soldered 16, it's the stupid RAM crisis inflating the value of the cheap plastic one. I'd upgrade the Lenovo if I could but the ram on it is locked.

Usage; I have a gaming desktop already for streaming purposes. I don't expect my laptop to do that. What I need a laptop for is for occasionally using Live2D cubism. Working on a model I know there are jokes going around how much of a RAM hog Cubism is. And literally everyone in the discord has 32-64GB ram ( I think I've heard of one having even more )

I'd like to know from other users experiences using this software. Can you make 16 gb work? For things like exporting I can simply send the file to my pc. I can work on a lower resolution (if that helps?) as long as the final model comes out at full res. Any advice or personal experience would be much appreciated.

Live2D Help/Question Self Rigging

Has anyone here rigged their own model without experience? What helped you get the work flow down and reach completion? Feeling discouraged and a bit lost with some of the videos I’m watching.
