- You have a model ready to go: What does that mean? You have an anime/character model that has had all of the facial features and body parts separated. I will review how mine is broken up and how other models are broken up for reference. You cannot start rigging until this is completely finished.
If you do not have a model to go, use !repo to get access to my prepared
repo which will have a rig file for you. It will be the simple model
that can be found on the Live2D website which is intended for practice. I have removed
all of the animations on this model and rotations so it is fresh for you to start working on
alongside me!
-
You have installed Live2D Cubism.
-
You can grasp an illustrator like program, and understand the points of parameters/vectors. (In a very generic sense, I will explain further.)
I will be reviewing the face and hair today, which I think are the key points of live2D rigging. We will cover parameters and deformers. I will not be covering dealing with the open mouth, as it can take the longest time.
