Fellow #vtubers Finally the fumo store is OPEN! Me and @rigmancerkim.bsky.social have teamed up to offer a nice model you can use as a funny redeem or as a main! To celebrate 500 followers on Twitch, I'll be giving away one of these for free this Friday! #VtuberUprising vgen.co/meginomagi

Never stop rigging (but im lazy so im quoting the post bec relevant LMAO) 2020 vs 2024 Both art and rig done by me :D #Live2D #Live2DShowcase

This video offers a great explanation of the advantages of using the curve parameter settings in #NizimaLive! ❤️ (If you don't speak japanese, you can turn on the subtitles and use YT's automatic translation, they are still quite clear) #Live2D www.youtube.com/watch?v=ISVW...

Body angles ✨ #Live2D #WIP

Today's opinion nobody asked for: I think all 2D VTuber model artists should watch a few Live2D rigging videos to understand why layers need to be separated the way they do

The showcase for Fumegino is finally out! Check out the cutest fumofumo doll of all planes ❤ Art: @megino.bsky.social Rig: @rigmancerkim.bsky.social #Live2D #Live2DShowcase

omg finally... a way to perfectly mirror deformations without having to reflect them on a different parameter.... (i just did ctrl+shift+c and ctrl+shift+v after i selected the undeformed half) #live2d

Nizima Live gets better and better with every update, I hope more people start to use it! It has a much cleaner and easy to use UI, the parameter settings with detailed curves are ✋🏻😌👌🏻 and it uses way less CPU than the VTS+Vbridger combo... you should give it a try! #Live2D #NizimaLive

concept commission for @megino.bsky.social!

WE GOT NEW TECH CHAT!

I showed this video to an artist friend and they made me notice that the eye highlights are a bit too jiggly for comfort 😂 I like making things very reactive but it’s true, I should tune the physics down a bit on that part, ahahah 😆

Among the many hats I wear, I’m not only a Live2D rigger but also a developer, and I’ve been tinkering with Unity for some time now. One day I’d love to make a game that uses Live2D assets and characters, I think it would be so fun! Do you know of any game that was made this way?

Model lean example project! Make viewers uncomfortable in a good or bad way. The power is yours. The cmo3 is free, with option to support ~ 💜

Sharing this again since it's been a while, I have a #Live2D example file available that shows how I've been doing head angles lately! It's an easy to adjust workflow that I find very comfy~ Also comes with a video recording of the process (no voiceover) cillia.itch.io/live2d-head-...

This project is taking much longer than expected but Ive been working on a cutting guide for various eye styles for #Live2d. I plan to release the PSD for free when Im done.

Long streams and yaps? Same! I got a couple small tips that I've learnt from Italian voice actors! So I hope these can help many #Vtubers take care of their voice! Sharing some of my throat tips discussed in previous streams, from honey to hydration. 🍯 #vtubersupportbeam (1/7)

- Be the creator you like to watch - Be the friend you'd like to have - Treat people the way you'd like to be treated - Make the content you'd like to see - Give compliments when others have things you'd want to be complimented on! - Make the world a better & cooler place ✨

The difference six months of experience and cillia's head angle workflow have made is astonishing 🥹❤️ Head angles are still my weak point, but seeing ✨progress✨ is so motivating 😭 (yes, @megino.bsky.social's model is undergoing a little makeover 😌) #Live2D #Live2DWIP

QTing myself since it looks like the same question pops up every now and then. 👉 The most solid foundation you can find to begin working with Live2D (be it for vtuber models, animation, or anything else) are Brian Tsui's tutorials about the basics of the program! #Live2D #Live2DTips #LearnLive2D

The first fumofumo model is done! ❤️ It was a sweet job, even if it was supposed to be a simple rig I tried my best to give it a doll-like feel in its movements and physics 😊 Art: @megino.bsky.social Live2D Rig: @rigmancerkim.bsky.social Featuring: @sinformavx.bsky.social #Live2D #Live2DShowcase

I was tasked with: a doll I'm delivering: a toddler (he's so cute I can't help but giggle every time I look at him) art by: @megino.bsky.social featuring: @sinformavx.bsky.social #Live2D #Live2DWIP

I decided to use blendshapes to make these antennae. Without weights set I would have needed to key in every combination manually to avoid warping. There is a different weight set for each position in the X-angle. #Live2d #Live2dWIP

Since @megino.bsky.social asked me to rig a pngtuber-like mouth, I decided to try a bit of blend shape magic to make it camera tracked ✨ Mouth Open and Mouth Form are not rigged per se, but are used in blend shape weights to toggle different mouth textures! #Live2D #Live2DWIP

legs and shoes; putting one leg behind the other adds some more 'flair' ✨ 🔍 VT: #StrategistLeo 🎨 Art: #YuArima ✧ #Live2D ✧ #Live2DWIP ✧

The crusade never stops! I've managed to make a deal with @rigmancerkim.bsky.social If we do HIT 350 we get a normal fumo raffle BUT IF WE HIT 400 Smol rig fumo!? Gifs not working so here's a sneako peko x.com/meginomagi/s... Featured @sinformavx.bsky.social

Nice to land here as well, everybody! I'm your friendly neighborhood rigmancer ✨ This is my latest rig and precious daughter, a passion project born from a random illustration that asked to be magicked alive ❤️ #Live2D #Live2DShowcase
